Hawaii Vacation News Roundup for July 25th

Here’s the newsy tidbits for this Aloha Friday.

• Where should you stay in Hawaii when money is no object?  Daahling, you must stay at the $15,000 per night Grand Suite at the Grand Wailea on Maui.  If that rate is a tad bit out of your vacation budget then there’s good news for you.  For only $10,300 a night you romp around in the “more reasonable” $10,300 per night Presidential Villa
  at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on the Big Island.  These two suites are on Elite Traveler’s list of best hotel and resort suites worldwide. (Source)
• Now let’s ratchet our luxury tastes back down to earth for some news on the Haleakala Cabins on Maui’s Haleakala National Park.  The park announced that it will do away with the lottery process and  start taking reservations.  These cabins are popular with backpackers and hikers. These cabins go for only $75 per night which is a $10,225 savings over the Hualalai Presidential Villa. (Source)  
• Virtuoso Life readers are high on Hawaii.  In the magazine’s “The Winning List” readers shared their top destinations in several categories.  Readers like Hawaii as a dream destination, a dream island escape, and a place to fall in love. Hawaii topped the list of perfect place for family vacations.  I tend to think that Virtuoso Life readers are pretty darn smart. 🙂 Happy Aloha Friday!
