Shopping in Waikiki

While most men might be curious mainly about golf, activities or entertainment when they consider Hawaii vacations, most women certainly want to know about the shopping. Oxford remains Europe’s busiest shopping street, and Rodeo Drive is still the most famous shopping district in America (and probably the most expensive three blocks of shops in the world).  Fifth Avenue also continues to be one of the world’s premier shopping streets. Today we talk about how  suddenly, Waikiki – yes, Waikiki – has joined the ranks of  elite and influential shopping locations.

Today we talk about the 2009 AAA Four Diamond list that just got released.  The establishments that make the list are considered upscale in every sense.  AAA says that listed hotels are more refined and stylish, and there’s an obvious enhanced level of quality throughout.  According to AAA, the fundamental hallmarks at this level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail. Here are the Hawaii lodgings that made the list:  On the Big Island, the Fairmont Orchid and the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows on Kauai, the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa; on Lanai, the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay and The Lodge at Koele; on Maui, the Fairmont Kea Lani, the Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa, Hotel Hana Maui and Honua Spa, the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, and the Westin Maui Resort & Spa; and on Oahu, the Halekulani, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa, the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa at Ko Olina, and the Kahala Hotel & Resort.   If you’d like to investigate any of these great places, by all means give us a call at 1-800-843-8771, or select an agent at Hawaii-aloha.com .

Cruising Hawaii - Is there enough land time?

Today we answer a question from Fran who wants to  know if there really is a lot of land time on a 7 day cruise.  We go over how to get the most out of a Hawaii cruise vacation and offer tips and suggestions.

On the surface it seems like a great idea right?  Well, think twice if you plan on taking a rental car on the Superferry between Oahu and Maui and leaving it on the island you take it to.  You’ll pay a hefty drop-off price.  Superferry officials proudly announced its acceptance of rental cars last week and told consumers to contact the individual car-rental companies for details.  Well, that’s exactly what we did and we found out the extra fees involved in taking a rental car onto the ferry on a one-way basis range from $200 to $500!
