Girls who are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon...

What hotel are you guys staying at?? We just decided we are def. going there for the HM, but have no clue where to stay...any recommendations? and do you think we will get a better deal if we book it early or wait a little? TIA!

we are looking into staying at the Hyatt in Honolulu & Maui and then the Fairmont in Kona.

definitely wait, hotel promotions are still not out yet, but keep an eye on flights.

Re: Girls who are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon...

is it cheaper to do a package deal or to do the flights separately? i think i'm trying to use rewards points for one or the other but curious if that is a waste if it is cheaper when you just book together.

I hear Hyatt's in Hawaii are awesome and Liberty travel said if you stay at them on different islands you get a discount.

TA's don't make any money on flights so its ok to book your flights separate. The thing with flights and points is...you get a discount when booking round trip flights, so if you only have enough one way then it doesn't pay to use points.

Also, if you open up a Hawaiian Airlines card, you automatically get 20,000 points and thats enough to cover all interisland flights, 40,000 for one way from the west coast. We opened up one and have a ton of points now.

Hyatts have an island hopper package, stay for more then 7 nights at any of their 3 hotels and you get breakfast and a discount......this is the stupid promotion i'm waiting to come out!!!
