My fiance wants to wait until January to book the Fairmont Kea Lani, but I am paranoid and would like to book it sooner than later. What do you think?

I guess to get funds in order after the holidays. But he has access to the money so he could technically do it now.

Maybe it's ridiculously early anyway? or maybe it's not, that's what I'm curious of.

I tend to book early and then watch the rates to see if they go down. I booked the new Westin Kaanapali Resort Villas a few weeks ago for July. I am glad I did. They are now sold out for those dates.

DawnCt has good advice. Expedia has a 5th night free promotion for the Fairmont Kea Lani available for July. If it were me I would book now and check back periodically.

Most hotels offer a full refund on deposits if cancellation is within their terms. I would check the terms, book the room and then watch for a better deal, if one exists.
