Husband back from Iraq--Hawaii suggestions?
 
Message: My husband is coming back from Iraq and we'd like to take a 9 day trip to Hawaii! I found a great package on Maui--staying at the Maui Coast Hotel in Kihei. Is this a little less commercial than Lahaina and Wailea??

Does anyone know of a good website that offers packages to more than one island? For the life of me, I cannot find one that offers more than one island!

So far, we'd like to definitely go to Kuai (sp?)...and I thought this Maui deal seemed great!

Suggestions appreciated!

Try Hawaiian and Aloha airline websites. Also try Sun Trips and Sky Action (be very careful here about everything you are paying).

Thanks so much for the websites...i'll be extra careful before I book..i'm still in the early stages---travelocity has the best deal so far!

Thank you again!

I have stayed at the Maui Coast at least a dozen times with my husband on business. It is across the street from the beach and set back up a hill. It is a nice, simple, clean hotel but not a luxurious resort. Only a few of the rooms have ocean views, most look out into the parking lot. The pool is small. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. There are many categories of rooms: the one bedroom is pretty big, the &quot;alcove&quot; room is bigger than a standard room. Maybe if you tell them that you are celebrating your husband's return from Iraq you will get an upgrade.

Kihei is much more commercial than Wailea, in my opinion. (I much prefer Wailea to Kihei). Lahaina is the grandady of &quot;commercial&quot; LOL.
