Hotels and Resorts

Nobody ever said that staying in a hotel or at a resort in Hawaii was cheap. In fact lodging is the biggest cost in planning a trip to Hawaii, whichever islands are you visiting. As we continue visiting and staying at different hotel and resort properties, we’ll share what the experience is like. We talk about hotels in terms of why a property is a good option and how to ensure you have a great stay.

If you are looking for a hotel recommendation that we haven’t written about yet, please let us know so that we can make a point of staying there in the future. We take writing about hotels and resorts seriously as it’s the biggest expense a visitor will face. We hope you find our information helpful in your own travel planning.
