Thank you for your advice. Just cancelled and rebooked as we realised the same room was cheaper. We saved $300 and got a package for $200 spending money. 👌🏻

Hilton Hawaiian Village is go to, more than worth the expense for 22 acres of resort property, 5 towers, widest stretch of beach in Waikiki, and the lagoon

We made the biggest mistake of going to Kauai and absolutely falling in love with it. We only went to that island going forward 😂 but we must break free of the awe-inspiring experience of Na Pali. We’re headed to Maui and the Big Island for our honeymoon in Sept/Oct. looking forward to using the itineraries!

The first mistake is staying at a Resort. Outrageous fees for nothing and you have to walk a mile or more to get to your room. Staying at a Vacation rental thru a VRBO organization is key. A place like Maui Banyan, where you can walk to the beaches, restaurants, and bars within close proximity (a block or 2). Not to mention condos also have kitchens.

We noticed prices on everything on Maui and the Big Island are up at least 25% Groceries, Restaurants, gas car rentals since Covid ! That was our 35th stay since 2004 so I know what prices have been in the past! Also They are charging for Parking at State beaches on The Big Island! Luckily we Own a Condo on the Big Island and have Timeshares we love on Maui so accommodations are always as expected we have no resort fees or parking fees.

It depends but for the most part, yes. They are best for groups or families of 5. You can find well priced condos in Waikiki.

That’s a tough one in wailea. You might find parking at the shopping centers. But the whole are is resorts so they know how to get you. Ask for them to waive the fee, they might be nice
