I'm doing some research on possibly a Hawaii vacation. This will be our first Hawaii trip as well as our first real family vacation. I'll be traveling with my wife and 2 kids(6 & 9). I've been searching mainly on travelocity, orbitz and farecompare. the going rate for flight + 6 night hotel seems to start at around $500/person for late June. (is this the best I can do?). These rates are for boutique hotels like Aloha Surf, Island colony and Castle Ocean Resort. Anyone has experience with them? Their user reviews seem to be average. We're not picky at all, just need something clean and basic. We won't be in the hotel room a lot anyway, just need a shower, clean beds and simple cooking so we don't have to eat out all the time.
I'm thinking I should keep it to one island this time, I'm sure I'll be back to do the inter-island hoping in times(or do you think I can do two?). We're very into water activities, swimming/snorkeling/kayaking and I might go for some shore dive as well. We've been going to Laguna Beach/La Jolla/Catalina Island in the past but I finally decided it's time to bite the bullet and upgrade to Waikiki, so the sandy beach is a must, the price for the zoo and acquarium seems to be pretty cheap so we might hit those, too, as well as hanauma bay. Any other suggestions? Oh, I'm so excited just typing this post from my cubicle. Can't wait to ER!
