Summer Travel Deals on Hawaii's Big Island
Affordable Luxury Vacations at the Best Upscale Resort Hotels
May 6, 2009
Luxury travelers typically consider taking a Hawaiian vacation in winter; those who live in chilly climes tend to want to warm up in the tropics. However, people familiar with the South Pacific islands know that there's no bad season to go to Hawaii. It's as balmy and lovely in the summer as any other time of year (and, in fact, winter is its rainy season). Summer travel deals abound in Hawaii; these best Big Island vacation resort packages give even better reasons to take a trip to Hawaii this summer.
Big Island (Hawaii) Summer Luxury Travel Deals
The Fairmont Orchid - This 5-star luxury resort along the desirable Kohala coast has both restaurant and resort deals. The summer dining discounts are Norio's Sunset Dinner and Brown's Beach House Sunset Dinner; both are for early dining. The Fairmont Orchid also offers a family vacation package for the summer. The package includes:
- Full complimentary breakfast for four at The Orchid Court restaurant
- Two guest rooms for the price of one
- Connecting rooms are guaranteed
- Two all-day Kids' Camp (the Keiki Aloha Children's program) per room per stay
Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa - The summer travel package at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott is one of the best and most affordable of the season: Guests staying for five or more nights get a complimentary Kohala Falls adventure trip, and free vehicle admission to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This resort package deal starts at just $199 per room per night, and is good until August 15.
Hilton Waikoloa Village - The sprawling resort is great for tourists who don't need to wander off hotel property; it's just that large. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Hawaii's statehood, the Hilton Waikoloa has a "50 years of Aloha" vacation package that includes $50 resort credit for a spa treatment, dining or water sport rental,a fifth night stay for $50, and a complimentary meal for any guest born in 1959.
Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel - The Prince is also celebrating Hawaii's 50th year of statehood. There is a $50 resort credit with the Spring into Summer package, that entitles guests to discounted dining, tennis, golf, selected spa treatments, and other resort activities. Reduced rates on rooms at The Prince start at $269 a night, but the Spring into Summer vacation package is good through September.
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel - On the northwestern end of the Big Island, Mauna Kea is a beautiful luxury resort, just renovated (after damage from a 2006 earthquake) and with one of the best stretches of beach found in Hawaii. A summer vacation package here is similar to that at The Prince, with a $50 resort credit good towards resort activities such as golf, spa treatments, and dining. Also like The Prince, this summer travel deal is good through the end of September.
There are other summer travel deals and hotel resort packages on the Big Island, but these resorts are the most recommended by Luxury Travel. No one needs an excuse to take a vacation in Hawaii; these bargains make it more affordable to plan that trip.
