Recent weeks have seen gas prices dropping, even in the Rainbow State — where fuel costs rank among the country’s highest. In Honolulu, prices have dipped below $4 per gallon, making conditions ripe for cruising the scenic Kamehameha Highway to hit out-of-town attractions on a self-guided loop that’ll have you back on the beach for dinner. Fuel up and say aloha to cheap Hawaiian vacations with these Oahu attractions:
For people experiencing their first taste of winter right about now, a Hawaii vacation might sound really good. And what might sound even better is that cheap Hawaii hotels can make a trip really affordable.
ResortQuest Waikiki Beach is offering 20% off regular rates for travel through 2009 in you book by February 28. This four-star Honolulu hotel also provides complimentary "breakfast on the beach." Guests who’ve stayed at the property rate it a 4.5 out of 5 and rave about its beach location that’s easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants.
Or, for a Hawaii vacation far from the activity of Waikiki Beach, you may want to visit Kauai. This oldest of the Hawaiian Islands is known for its lush tropical foliage and spectacular scenery. ResortQuest Kauai Beach Hotel has a day spa and an award-winning on-site luau, and if you travel by March 31, 2009, you can take advantage of 35% savings.
ResortQuest Shores at Waikoloa, on Hawaii’s Big Island, is a good choice for family vacations, and guests who’ve stayed at the property rate it a 4.8 out of 5. This condominium development features spacious accommodations with kitchens, and it’s close to shopping, restaurants and golf. If you book your 2009 Hawaii vacation by February 28, you can save 30% off regular rates.
