As I mentioned in an earlier blog piece, when I find “good deals” I have decided to share them here. Again, this is something I have steered away from in the past, but decided that these extraordinary times called for sharing these opportunities more broadly. And a lot of what I say here is strictly just my opinion and my advice to my clients. So talking about the “good deals” in Hawaii is a natural.

First off, Hawaii is always a wonderful place to spend your vacation. And, of course, I am prejudiced. Having lived there for 28 years, I can not think of any other place I would rather be. That said, I now reside in Seattle. But Hawaii is where my heart lives. There are some incredible deals for visits to Hawaii right now, however. Take as an example, the Starwood Hotels and Resort’s Hawaii have a promotion going on until March 31, 2009. It is called Sunsational Savings. You can qualify for a third night free and a breakfast or meal credit daily. At some locations, there is also a free room upgrade available; at others there is a 20% spa discount; at other hotels there is a 15% off at select restaurants.

Tomorrow, January 20, will be the celebration of the reopening of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. This hotel is offering the “1927 Package” which includes luxury Royal Grove accommodations for a four-night minimum stay (you get the first night at $19.27, with additional nights from $450 per night), dinner for two at the new Azure Restaurant, two mai tais and a memento gift. This 1927 Package is available from Feb1 through June 30, 2009.

The Aqua Hotels and Resorts have a “Nifty To Be Fifty Statehood” Special at all 12 of its Waikiki hotels during 2009. Some of the offerings include a $50 off the first night with a minimum three night stay. They also include a free amenity for guests aged 50+; a free 1959-inspired postcard; and, a half-hour mini-massage for $50.

The Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk is offering guests up to four hours of free valet parking when lunching at one of several restaurants at the Beach Walk. The offer is valid daily from 11AM to 3PM. Some of these restaurants include the Cheeseburger Beachwalk, Roy’s Waikiki, Yard House, Kaiwa, Giovanni Pastrami & Taorimina Sicilian Cuisine.

I worked in Waikiki at Shaheen’s, an upscale clothing store, in the early 1970′s. I lived in the Waikiki “jungle” in the mid-1970′s. My memories of Lewers Street and Beach Walk make me want to go there just to take that walk down memory lane. Have you been there before – maybe a long time ago, like me? Waikiki Beach Walk has changed. Waikiki has changed. And I want to say, for the better! It is safer, more friendly, cleaner. A real pleasure to visit.
