Your Most Important Vacation Decision

December 19th, 2008

You’re looking ahead, planning your next vacation (or is it your first?)  You’re considering where to go:  The U.S., Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Far East, South America, Africa, the South Pacific?  Maybe you’re considering taking a cruise.  You’re debating whether to take the whole family.  You’re studying your finances.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Okay, you finally decide on Hawaii.  But where?  Oahu and Waikiki, the Big Island and the volcanoes, Kauai and its splendor, Maui and Haeakala and the super resorts, or one of the smaller islands with their isolation?  You should even consider visiting more than one island.

Once you’ve decided on Hawaii, what kind of accommodations are best for you?  Imagine, to begin with, traveling by yourself.  Do you simply determine where you’re going to be and book a hotel room?  The decision — especially if there will be more than one of you — takes more thought than that.

Do you want and appreciate the creature comforts of a nice hotel where the staff become familiar with you and anticipate your needs and all you have to do is pick up the phone and they “bring it”?  Do you like being surrounded by an array of activities and attractions and upscale restaurants with imaginative menus?  In Hawaii we have grand resorts and fine hotels at all prices ranges in great locations on all the islands with eager, professional staffs.

Or do you anticipate a laid-back, quiet, away-from-it-all vacation?  You can keep to yourself, do what you want when you want, do most of your own cooking, have space among several rooms, bask in the ideal weather and recharge?  There now is a huge inventory of condominium apartment vacation rentals where the accommodations are lovely, the included rooms are furnished according to the taste of the owners, the conveniences are at hand, but you pretty-much fend for yourself.

And there are compromises between those extremes.  If you like the idea of sharing your vacation with some hospitable local people who gladly will offer advice and friendship as they put you up, consider a bed and breakfast.  If you want to combine luxury hotel service with upscale apartment living, we have condo-hotel properties that offer both … at a price, of course.

That’s what we do at Hawaii Aloha.com.  We help you with those decisions.  We make suggestions, track rates and facilities for you, determine what you would enjoy seeing and doing, and put together a package for you that exploits all the deals, special offers, discounts and hidden bargains available.  Then we book everything for you, keep in touch with you, and solve any problems you might encounter on your trip and while you’re in our islands.  (Be sure there will be problems wherever you go in the world.  Trying to get satisfaction yourself directly from an airline, hotel or car-rental company can be a time-consuming, frustrating adventure.)

So as you’re doing your vacation planning, pick an agent from our Web site home page (hawaii-aloha.com), or call 1-800-843-8771.  You’ll have found a loyal friend with clout to be there for you every step of the way.
