A hotel will offer more in the way of amenities or services than a condo. A few examples would be: high speed internet access, a business center, room service, a restaurant and/or bar on property, food & beverage service available by the pool. Other amenities offered at select properties in the deluxe-luxury category would be: fitness center, luxury day spa, and a concierge floor or club level. All hotels include daily maid service. Hotels do not offer a kitchenette or cooking facilities.
Condominiums are a great option for people who enjoy cooking while they are on vacation. They will offer either a kitchenette or full size kitchen depending on the size of your unit. Some properties will also have a shared BBQ on premises. All of the condos we offer will also include daily maid service.
Home rentals or villas will be offering the finest in furnishings. They generally allow from 4-10 people maximum depending on the property. Normally a week stay is the minimum required, in addition to cleaning and security fees.
Hawaii has a state fire law about the maximum people allowed in any condo/hotel. All properties follow this law as they can be fined if they have more than the maximum allowed in that particular unit. Everyone is included in this head count including infants.
Budget: Geared towards those seeking the lowest prices possible. 1-2 star rating.
Moderate: A modest property with comfortable rooms and simple amenities, 2-3 stars.
Deluxe: Accommodations that offer upgraded furnishings or amenities within a resort and/or a condo. This will be a 3-4 star rating.
Superior-Luxury: The highest level of service and amenities found within the best locations. This rates 4-5 stars.
View types will vary depending on the property.
Standard - Generally the least expensive option. This would be a very basic view, including parking lots, nearby buildings, etc.
City - This view type is only offered only on Oahu. Not advisable for light sleepers as you will hear road noise.
Garden - Within a tropical setting of plants and/or flowers.
Mountain - A glimpse of the mountains.
Partial ocean view - In a partial ocean view room you will have some type of obstruction (tree, building, across the street from the beach, etc). The view of the water is normally from the balcony (or lanai).
Ocean view - An occean view room will offer a better viewing than a partial ocean view, usually from a higher floor.
Oceanfront - An oceanfront room will be directly facing the water. This is also the most expensive view. It is normally $100-400 more per night than the least expensive view.
It is good to be flexible, but in order to give you an accurate quote we will need exact dates of travel. Monday-Thursday's are the least expensive days to fly. Friday-Sunday’s are the heaviest travel dates making the lowest fares harder to find. Plus the airlines also impose a weekend surcharge on those days.
