Hot Hawaii travel and vacation deals!
Archive for the 'Hawaii vacation deals' Category
Im planning a vacation with my hubby in june to Hawaii. But I don’t know what part of hawaii to go to. Have any of you been to Hawaii? Any good Hotels or deals? My budget is $2,000 for hotel and plane. I have no idea what to book….. Thanks!
My fiance and I are booking our honeymoon to Waikiki/Honolulu from the Canadian prairies for just under $2000 (plane and hotel) through WestJet Vacations (www.westjetvacations.com) and our city isn’t a hub or anything so it’s totally possible to do as long as you do some research and check out a few sites. I don’t know your location, but look for hotel and air packages through the major airlines – WestJet is one of two in Canada and see what their deals are like. Also compare prices with:
Expedia.com
Travelocity.com
Bookit.com
Priceline.com
I also recommend looking at the site www.tripadvisor.com. I used this to help us pick a hotel, users rate their experiences at hotels and then Tripadvisor turns it into a ranking.
We will be staying at the Aqua Palms and Spa, it’s #23 out of 100 hotels (with over 400 positive reviews), two blocks from Waikiki beach, and on a bus route. The bus is really popular in Honolulu from what I’ve read and it goes all over. And FYI: If you’re planning on renting a car, the daily rates to park in Waikiki are really high.
Good luck on your vacation!

I just started seeing this guy for 2 months (met him online). So far things have been good; nothing to worry about- he’s not wanted by the police or anything haha. I am planning a trip for spring break (end of March) to Cancun. we live in California so it is a pretty far vacation. I was wondering what you guys think about inviting him to join me and my friends (all coupled up) to go for a 5 days vacation. Recently he invited me to go to Hawaii with him and his friends over winter break (december)- I told him no.
My question is, is it too far ahead to plan in advance. By the time we’re in Cancun, it will be ~6 months (if we’re still together). I have to ask him soon because I like to plan early and booking early means getting better deals in terms of hotel & airfare. But I dont want to regret asking him if it turns out things dont work out. Too soon? If yes, when should I ask him? I’m confused!
How should I ask him? I’m afraid I’ll scare him off by moving too fast. Be honest please!
That could be the vacation from heaven of the one from hell. Two months isn’t very long and you’re still blind. Ask your friends to HONESTLY tell you how they see him. Is he controlling, a tightwad, volitile temper, seem to be hiding something and so on. Promise them that you won’t be mad at them if the say something negative about him and keep your word. If you can’t do that, then invite him and if things turn south, keep your mouth shut and don’t go whining to your friends later.
Kauai Resort – How to Choose the Best Resort
Author: admin
Are you planning a family vacation for the whole family? Resorts now offer family vacation packages and accommodations to make planning your vacation easier.
Many resorts throughout the world are paying attention to families needs and wants. Many offer on site baby sitters, buffet meals, spacious suites, kitchens, kids clubs and activities, evening shows that please both children and adults and offer many other amenities.
What is the best way to choose a Kauai Resort for your family vacation? This article provides you with a checklist that helps you choose the Kauai Resort that best fits your family.
What do Kauai resorts offer? For families with several kids, a suite with bedrooms and a mini kitchen to store all the necessities is ideal for families. With this it is possible to feed the kids meals from the room and put them to bed in a quiet room.
See if the resort offers childcare. Some resorts now offer on call baby sitters if parents would like to go out without the kids. Most Kauai Resorts that provide this service to families have kids clubs, where children can go and play, while being supervised. Most Kauai Resorts that have all-inclusive packages will offer this kind of service. Few resorts offer infant care, so be sure to check the child care options if you have an infant.
Food: Find out if the food provided at the resort is family friendly. Many resorts offer buffets for families, which are great for families with young children or those who have picky eaters. Nearly every resort that offers all inclusive packages offer buffets, if not then find out if the on-site restaurant serves family friendly food.
Swimming: Most children like to swim. If you have a toddler, then check to see if the resort has a small wading pool for the small swimmers.
Evening entertainment: Many resorts that offer all-inclusive packages offer some sort of after dinner entertainment and often there are shows where the kids can get up on stage and participate.
Inclusions: Deciding to stay in an all-inclusive Kauai Resort is good, but you have to find the right one for your family. One way you can choose the resort is by narrowing down the amenities that each resort provides. Include the cost of your stay, food, drinks, snacks, room service, and etcetera. Most of the time it does not include alcohol. Kauai offers many beach resorts so consider including water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, and scuba diving.
Enjoy your family vacation and make memories to last a lifetime!
All inclusive vacations?

I am looking for a site that has great deals on all inclusive vacations to mexico, hawaii or carribean any advice helps. Thanks
I’d like to mount a campaign to encourage people not to go anywhere. Travel has become so expensive and unpleasant that it’s hard to understand why people don’t stay home.
Why are we crowding our highways and airports to get someplace else? Newspapers and magazines are filled with ads trying to get us to travel. They want us to go somewhere – anywhere but home.
When is it best to go to Hawaii?
Author: admin
I really want to go there and if we (my mom and me) save up enough money, we might go in April. Do you think it’s a good time of the year?
Are the online deals really are what they say they are? http://www.travelocity.com/Vacations/0,,TRAVELOCITY%7C%7CY,00.html
Would you rather go to Hawaii or on a cruise (I really want to do that too!)?
Thanks : ]
The weather is the same year round in Hawaii. It only varies about 5 degrees winter thru summer.
If you want to go at a less busy time, then you’d want to travel when most people aren’t traveling to Hawaii. I’d guess that most mainlanders vacation in Hawaii in Winter (to escape the cold) and summer when their kids are out of school.
I’ve been told that Spring and Fall are the best times for less crowds, but you’ll never escape them 100%.
I am hoping to go back to Hawaii in May! I love the Big Island… less touristy!
There is an amazing secret beach in Kona that is heaven on earth!
I hope you guys get there!
When it comes to deals, yes, check travelocity and those sites, but also check Hawaiian Airlines. If you find a great deal on Travelocity, go to that airlines actual website and see if you can get it cheaper booking directly from them!
Aloha!
Making friends when on vacation?
Author: admin
I am 15 years old and will be going to Hawaii for a couple weeks this summer. When I am there I would like to make some friends (preferably girls, I am a guy) Does anybody have any tips for doing this. One problem i usually encounter is people going on vacation with a group of friends and not wanting to meet new people. Also how would I deal with the going back home stage?
Try joining some tour group or youth excursions
Child-less vacation in HI?
Author: admin
We’d like to take a vacation without the kids to Hawaii. But we want to find a resort that is adults only. Nothing crazy, we just don’t want to have to deal with other people’s kids.
How can I find such a place and do they exist?
Hawaii tends to be very family-oriented, especially if you are in the major resort areas. Here are some resorts that have less kids:
* On Oahu, I would recommend the Kahala Resort, about 5-10 minutes away from Waikiki in the expensive Kahala neighborhood.

* On Maui, the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua has almost no kids, as it is isolated and far from the Kaanapali and Wailea beach action. If you want the "jungle" outside your door, you can check out the famous Hana-Maui Resort (takes a few hours to get there along the famous Hana Highway along the sea cliffs through a rain forest).

* On the Big Island, check out the Mauna Kea Resort, which is the original and northern-most of the Kohala coast 5-star luxury resorts. Families usually stay close to the town of Kailua-Kona or the Waikoloa planned resort community.

Best Airfare deals this winter…?
Author: admin
I have some well-earned vacation time coming up, and it’s getting cold outside, so I want to fly from Omaha Eppley Airfield (OMA) to Hawaii (I don’t much care where in Hawaii, just the cheapest option), sometime around the holidays, for about 10 days.
Any suggestions on specific dates, locations, airlines, or holiday deals? I’m not necessarily asking for a link to a planned-out flight (unless you’re bored), but anything helps. Thanks!
www.farecompare.com is a really good rate finder! Enjoy, i’ve been to Oahu twice (Sept. & Oct are great and not as pricey) Also tripadvisor.com is a great all around info site too.
tip——> do all of your souvenir shopping at the Aloha Bowl Swap Meet! All kinds of stuff for great prices, located on the island of Oahu, near Pearl Harbor. It’s where the Pro Bowl is played.
Have a great vacation and safe trip!
My boyfriend and myself have planned a vacation to Hawaii for May 2010 for ourselves and our year and a half old son. We have not booked anything and wonder what islands and hotels offer more kid-friendly services. We were hoping to learn to surf, but we would have to learn individually at different times so one of us can stay with our son. We want to have a good vacation and experience anything Hawaii has to offer, but something our son can enjoy too. I’ve checked the normal vacation deal sites, and they have a lot, but it’s mainly for adults.
If you go to the Dole pineapple Pavillian, they have a miniture train ride that takes you around the pineapple fields.
Right in Waikiki is the Zoo.
In the middle of the International Marketplace at the food court, they have a free Hawaiian show at around 7pm or so, almost every night. The entrance is next to the Beachcomber Hotel.
