Hawaii Vacation Resort
|
All-inclusive Hawaii vacation resort packages offer all the amenities any tourist would desire: luxury accommodations and fine dining, swimming and scuba diving, world-class golfing and fishing, and spas and saunas to pamper guests as if they were kings and queens. Of all the exotic places in the civilized world, none rival Hawaii for its diversity, its culture steeped in Hawaiian and Asian tradition, and its rich history. The 50th state to join the union, Hawaii is home to more than one million residents and plays hostess to travelers from every state and nation around the world. This tropical paradise consists of a chain of eight islands, including The Big Island, also known as Hawaii.
Luxuriant accommodations on any one of the five larger islands, including the Big Island, marvelous Maui, rustic Lanai, Oahu, and Kauai, become home away from home to tourists from every continent. Typical Hawaii vacation resort packages not only include luxury accommodations, but also free continental breakfasts; daytime junkets to island hot spots, shopping, and the beach; or tour bus treks to any number of museums, wildlife sanctuaries, or the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, the partially sunken remains of one of eight American battleships destroyed during the 1941 Japanese attack on the U.S. Navy base.
Hawaii vacation resort itineraries are designed to offer guests of every age an island experience they'll not soon forget. Fun-in-the-sun lovers will love sunbathing on the beaches of Waikiki or shopping until they drop in the exclusive shops on Maui or Lahaina. Newlyweds prefer tying the knot at Maui's Kaanaplai Beach; but snorkeling at Haunama Bay and water skiing along Sandy Beach beckons those who love being in and on the water. Or guests can spend the day scuba diving off the coral coasts of Oahu, deep sea fishing near the Big Island, or water skiing along Sandy Beach. Tourists from the mainland are transported into an unbelievably beautiful natural environ, with crystal clear waters, exotic tropical foliage, and breathtaking views of dormant or still active volcanoes. If a place on earth could compare to the glory of Heaven, Hawaii would be the place. The island is a tribute to nature and a sparkling jewel set in the midst of the Pacific Ocean. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
A premier Hawaii vacation resort easily rivals four- and five-star hotels and ritzy accommodations. Dotting the pristine 1500-mile coastline are some of the world's most opulent villas, condominiums, and high rises nestled against a backdrop of natural waterfalls, sparkling beaches, and fragrant orchards. All-inclusive resort packages are designed to offer tourists the best amenities for the dollar. Guests are ushered into private accommodations featuring two, three or four bedrooms and the capacity to sleep up to 16 guests comfortably. Resorts usually plan dawn to dusk itineraries to indulge guests in local fare, including an early morning continental breakfast with locally grown pineapple, papaya, and guava fruit; freshly ground Kona coffee; and delicious breads and pastries.
After breakfast, guests of a Hawaii vacation resort can toss a swimsuit into a duffle bag, and head out to the coast on a rented scooter or moped. A specially-ordered picnic basket soon turns an afternoon excursion into an intimate dining experience, as guests bask in the brilliant sunshine amidst regal palms and fragrant orchids. Hawaii vacation resort accommodations on the island of Maui frequently include 18 or 36 holes of world class golfing at the Makena golf course or near the 30,000-acre Haleakala National Park, a popular tourist attraction featuring a now silent volcano. After a leisurely round of golf, guests are ready to be preened and pampered at the resort spa, where a staff masseus helps weary golfers relax and unwind before taking in a tour of the island's natural waterfalls and mountainous terrain. By the time the sun sets, young and old begin to retreat onto hotel balconies and seaside verandahs to view a spectacular golden sky and catch an amazing vista of small craft docking for the night on the glistening sea.
The next day, guests can rent a moped, scooter, or tour bus for a quick jaunt to historic venues, including ancient Polynesian palaces and museums full of island artifacts. Many Hawaiians are expert craftsmen and much of the decor at a Hawaii vacation resort showcases the work of modern artisans, sculptors, painters, and interior designers who use indigenous woods, such as teak and bamboo, along with sisal, cork, and stone. Architects not only design luxury villas, condominiums, and resorts to attract and pamper tourists, but also to preserve much of the island's wealth of luscious vegetation, flora, and wildlife. The indigenous people of Hawaii, called "kanaka maoli," follow a long observed commitment to take care of the land, or "malama kaaina." Hotel lobbies feature cascading natural waterfalls constructed so as not to disturb the beauty of the island's natural habitat. The effect is stunning and the ambiance is one of tranquility and calm -- a welcome change for harried city dwellers who come to Hawaii to escape the concrete jungles of the mainland.
Spending a weekend or a weeklong vacation in a secluded, idyllic island Hawaii vacation resort rejuvenates the soul and awakens the senses, as guests frolick on the beach, try their hand at playing the ukulele, making an orchid lei, or learning to hula. Adults become children again, and the cares of city living soon fade into the Polynesian skyline. To book a dream-come-true island excursion, tourists should browse the Internet for airline rates and available accommodations. Depending on travel dates, discount packages may include airline/accommodation specials. Some inter-island flights may also offer seasonal rates; and hotels offer free nights for guests who reserve rooms for at least four to five days. Surf online and take a virtual tour of four- and five-star hotels, entertainment venues, museums, and of course, the gorgeous beaches. An abundance of attractions located in this sumptuous playground in the Pacific make a visit to Hawaii a popular choice for thousands, so plan to book well enough in advance.
