Mauna Lani on the Kohala Coast of the island of Hawaii
On the 20-mile stretch of the Big Island’s Kohala Coast, nearly a dozen luxury resorts are heralding the 50th anniversary of statehood with great packages, good through the end of this year.
"50 Years of Aloha" at Hilton Waikoloa Village: stay 5 nights and receive the 5th night at $50; plus a $50 resort credit for spa, dining or beach craft rentals, and more. Through December 20, 2009. (In addition, guests turning 50 in 2009 will receive a complimentary entrée at select restaurants.) One of the largest resorts in the islands, the 1,240-room Hilton (within Waikoloa Beach Resort) has a 4-acre, ocean-fed lagoon and pure white sand beach. Among activities are the Dolphin Quest; spectacular dinner show and luau, 8 restaurants; waterslides and waterfalls, the Beach and the King golf courses, and a meandering canal where guests ride in small boats, among other attractions.
The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is offering the "Celebrate Hawaii Turning Five-O with Our Statehood Package" that includes 4th night free, room upgrade, $50 resort credit, daily breakfast, special gift and more (through December 24, 2009, rates from $385.).
The 5-star-rated Fairmont Orchid's "Hawaii 50% Off Sale" is a 50% discount off published room rates for new bookings; from $225, through December 20, 2009. Notable at the Fairmont is the gorgeous Spa Without Walls with waterfall massage hale (huts) and oceanfront massage cabanas. Tennis fans head for The Vic Braden Tennis College and the 10 plexipave courts.
One of my favorite resorts on the planet, Four Seasons Hualalai gives you a $1,000 resort credit for staying 4 consecutive nights--at this uber-upscale oasis, this is a fabulous deal! (through November 19, and Dec 5 - Dec 17, 2009). Don't miss the Jack Nicklaus signature Hualalai Golf Course.
Long the standard for low-key atmosphere, tropical elegance and top notch personal service, and the award-winning North and South golf courses, the Mauna Lani Hotel & Bungalows is offering the Hawaii 5-O Anniversary Special, with dates available through December 23 (so far--book soon).
