A SPECIAL COUPLE JUST RETURNED FROM CELEBRATING THEIR 5TH WEDDDING ANNIVERSARY IN HONOLULU AND IN MAUI
Thank you for the great photos and review Kristen and Jed - Happy Anniversary!!
Hi Denise!
Hawaii was beautiful and the weather was amazing! Here's some info that may be helpful
for future clients:
 |
| ROYAL HAWAIIAN |
Royal Hawaiian: best beach in Honolulu. It is a very urban area so many of the hotels were
not even on the beach. Pool was teeny tiny, but beach was great. Our room was in the
tower so much better views, and there was access to complimentary happy hour (beer,
wine, small appetizers) and breakfast buffet (fruit, pastries, coffee, and juice) every day.
Also, it connected to the Royal Hawaiian shopping center so very close proximity to mall
and central strip of very high-end shops. Great location. I don't really recommend renting a car
here because the traffic is bad and the city would be difficult to navigate for tourists. We
ended up booking our Pearl Harbor tour through a company we found on Trip Adviser. It was
like $95 a person and it included transportation to and from, timed tickets for the Arizona
memorial and USS Missouri ship. Then it took us to the Punchbowl Veterans National
Cemetery and about an hour tour through downtown. The driver narrated during the drive.
Well worth the money.

| THE WESTIN MAUI RESORT & SPA |
The Westin in Maui: best hotel in that area of Maui (really just excluding Wailea). Pool area was
huge, had areas for kids and adults-only. You could also sit at the edge of the pool deck
facing the beach (best of both worlds). Beach was also amazing, swimming and surfing there
everyday. They also had excursion boats picking up right at our beach. It was nice to have the
breakfast buffet included (otherwise $28 for adults and $14 for children). Restaurant was nice,
also had a snack shack by the pool for casual lunch items. Definitely want a rental car in Maui
so you can tour the island yourself, go where you want at your own pace
(driving was really easy there).
All in all, Hawaii is awesome (but be prepared to spend). Baggage fees x 3, resort fees at Westin
(thank goodness self-parking was included), rental car taxes and fees, and meals at hotels and
elsewhere were generally $15-40 a plate.
Thanks for arranging the trip!
Kristin
