Hello. My girlfriends and I, all in our mid-20s, are planning a vacation, 3-4 days, for next July/August. Hawaii is one of our choices but we aren't sure which island is most appropriate for us and need some feedback to help us make our decision. Some criteria are:

1. We must stay at a Mariott (one of us works there and can get good deals)
2. cheaper is better
3. exciting nightlife

Thank you! Please let me know if I can be more specific.

Do you have to go to Hawaii? I think a bunch of 20 somethings would have much more fun in Cancun.

Waikiki (island of Oahu) has a Marriott. Waikiki is usually the cheapest major location in Hawaii. Waikiki is THE MAJOR party a and nightlife destination in Hawaii.

Maui has a Marriott at Kaanapali Beach. Some not too bad night life. More expensive than Waikik. Maui is a more interesting and exciting island than Oahu in every way other than nightlife.

Kauai and Big Island are both very quiet (no nightlife at all) and no place for 20 somethings !!

I love Hawaii and Maui or Oahu would have the most nightlife but it really depends on what kind of nightlife you want- casinos, dancing..That should help narrow it down.

Nova

There are no casinos in Hawaii - thank God !!

I'm not sure where you're flying from but 3-4 day (2-3 nights) is not near enough time to bother with going all the way to Hawaii. Have you thought about LA or Vegas?

I agree. That's really too short a time for a trip to Hawaii...how about Key West?

Gorgeous location and definitely a good time will be had by all...
