Where to go and where to stay in Hawaii for my honeymoon?|170466

My wedding is September, 2009, and I am trying to plan and save for a honeymoon in Hawaii. I think I want to go to Maui and then probably a second island. What two islands are best? I love a beautiful beach and luxury resorts, but part of the time we would also like to do some activities. Also, do you have hotel suggestions? I really do want to stay at beautiful resorts on the beach, but don_t want to go completely broke...suggestions?

Maui is a good choice, and Oahu has the most activities, but the most people. Kauai is gorgeous, with less activities, by far. Hawaii has the volcano, but only one beach! If you are concerned about costs, look into privately owned condos in Maui and other islands. We stay at one in Kihei that is $80/nt. in the fall, and it_s across the street from the best beach around! It won_t make you go completely broke, and is really nice. You can make some of your meals in the kitchen, and hit the beach, and then go out for dinner. Maui has many activities, I will list the website. Good luck!

First let me tell you that you picked a fabulous month to get married and have your honeymoon. It is considered low season in Hawaii so you will have less people and it_s cheaper :-)

Most honeymooners go to Maui and Kauai. Maui is more popular for tours and activities and Kauai is more kick back. Kauai is more _old Hawaii_ where time stands still. A lot of clients like to go to Kauai and be a vegetable after their wedding, then proceed to Maui and do some tours, etc.

Here are some Hotels I recommend. Make sure that you book with someone who has relationships with these properties as they can put in for a free upgrade. Also, make sure your agent does not charge fees (I know of alot of agents that still do - we do not).

Maui:
The Fairmont Kea Lani
Four Seasons Wailea
Sheraton Maui
Ritz Carlton Kapalua

Kauai:
Grand Hyatt Kauai
Princeville Resort (Very Secluded)
Marriott Kauai

I have the answer! We would love to accommodate you at our romantic Bed and Breakfast on Maui. I would recommend our one bedroom Bamboo Suite.
You cannot beat the price, location, cleanliness, service, and beauty of this new B_B, located across from the beach between Kahana and Napili. Check us out at http://www.MauiBeachVR.com
Be sure to check out our guest book and contact us with any questions you may have.
You can stay at our beautiful estate at motel prices, and spend your time at the big resorts dining with all the money you save!
We are a few miles from the Ritz Carlton Kapalua and the resort town of Kaanapali.
Kauai is very pretty as well.
Aloha,
Maui Beach Ocean View Rentals, LLC

try for an all-inclusive package resort such as Club Med.

Firstly, Congrats on your Engagement!

Hawaii is definitely a good choice for a Honeymoon, being the # 1 Honeymoon destination, they must be doing something right!

As far as islands, Maui is a favorite among most travelers. There is just so much to do there and truly offers a wide range for people with all sorts of interests! The Big Island, Lanai or Kauai I could all be possible choices to look at, but without knowing a bit more background on the type of Honeymoon you are looking for it_s difficult for me to recommend just one out of the 3.

Last year I went to the Big Island, stayed in Keauhou at the Sheraton. But because of the volcano activities it_s not on a beach, but on a lava rock formation. To stay on a beautiful beach you would need to stay in Waikoloa.

That is just one of the two islands, but yeah without further information it_s just to difficult to comfortably recommend one over the other.

Feel free to contact me if you like and I would be happy to help you. I_m actually a destination wedding/honeymoon specialist. Even if not through me may I recommend to definitely go through a travel agent. Travel agents are like any job profession there are the good, bad _ ugly! So once you find one it is always a good idea to stick with them. I learned a long time ago to be honest no matter what the honesty was regarding. Instead of some agents who always agree to make the _sale go quicker_. I always do my best to ask enough questions to arrange the trip or honeymoon I feel will best suit the couple.

This isn_t some of my best work on answering, but its end of the day Friday and I saw your question earlier and wanted to answer quick before I took off for the weekend!
