Hi everyone.
I have a reservation for Pono Kai in late March, but airfares were crazy expensive for Saturday to Saturday flights. It was a lot cheaper to fly in to Honolulu a few days earlier and home a day later and take a quick inter-island flight to Kauai on the Saturdays.
For the homeward leg, we (my wife and I) will just stay at a hotel close to the airport with its own shuttle since our flight home is at 7am.
For the arrival I need suggestions on where to stay for 3 nights that is not very expensive (close to $100 per night preferred, must be under $150 with taxes) but is decent/reputable.
I have already checked on the Shell resort through Select Connections but it did not have any openings at the 3-month window. The Travelers Plus rep suggested the Hotel for Points program, but they wanted 13,000-16,000 points for the three nights (at $0.04 per point rate)for a place on Waikiki Beach compared to 4,000 points for the same three nights at the SVC resort. Needless to say, I said no thanks to that.
I have looked at Hotels.com and hotwire.com and there are definitely places in my price range, but I am leary to stay someplace I am not familiar with unless recomended personally to me.
We will likely be going to see the sights while there, so beach front is not required since we would be leaving it to go out and about anyway. Free parking for a rental car is preferred (not likely along Waikiki beach, I know).
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks
