Okay, sure. It doesn’t hurt to be born and raised in Hawaii (or blessed with natural talent), but Oahu native John John Florence — at 19, the youngest-ever champion of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing — still had to practice. Where can you get your start? On a cheap Hawaii vacation, of course, learning from natives in the waves where many believe the sport was born.  You might want to avoid the monsters at Sunset Beach and the Banzai Pipeline for now, but there are plenty of kinder, gentler beaches for beginners getting their sea legs. And it never hurts to get a lesson.

Live like royalty on cheap Hawaii vacations

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Waikiki Marriott Beach Resort & Spa

Waikiki Marriott Beach Resort & Spa

I’m a fan of deceptively cheap Hawaii vacations, you know, the kind that still feel luxurious and breathtaking, all without breaking the bank. And that’s why I’m planning to visit the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Honolulu, where I can get my 4th night free and daily breakfast for 2 when I book before June 20, 2010.

Located on the south shore of the island of Oahu, Waikiki was the former destination of Hawaiian royalty. It’s not far from some of the biggest waves for surfing in the world, and it’s one of the most popular beach destinations. The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa sits right on the Pacific Ocean and is also within walking distance of excellent dining and shopping. During your stay, you’ll not only get to enjoy all the beauty of a Hawaiian beach vacation, you can also participate in the resort’s classes and concerts featuring Hawaii’s history and culture, or luxuriate at its Spa Olakino Salon. Personally, I’ll most enjoy kicking back on the beaches of Waikiki like modern-day royalty with the knowledge that I scored a great deal on a cheap Hawaii vacation.

Great flight deals ending soon!

There’s one more reason to book your trip to Hawaii now: book by June 11 and you’ll save on super cheap flights with Hawaiian Airlines, starting as low as $330 round-trip!  Book your hotel and air together as well, and you can also benefit from great Hawaii travel package deals.
