Here are insider tips from our travel experts for finding and maximizing savings on last minute accommodations and travel deals in Hawaii:
Strategies for Booking Last Minute Hotel Deals
Instead of spending hours searching various sites, our travel advisors immediately identify the best rates at resorts by:
- Booking 21-35 days out for lowest prices during high season
- Traveling just before/after peak seasons for discounted shoulder season rates
- Checking hotel flash sale sites for huge last minute discounts
- Following #Hawaii, #Oahu, #Maui for real-time deals on social media
- Considering inter-island flights and multi-island packages
- Joining hotel loyalty programs for exclusive deals and offers
On Oahu, we leverage our relationships with popular resorts like the Aulani Disney Resort, Four Seasons Oahu, Turtle Bay Resort and more to find last minute exclusives.
On Maui, we check resorts like the Westin Maui, Sheraton Maui, and Hyatt Regency Maui for the best promotional rates. You can even find five star hotels on Maui at a discount!
On Kauai, we negotiate last minute deals at top properties like the Grand Hyatt Kauai and Koa Kea Resort.
On Big Island, we search for deals at resorts like the Fairmont Orchid, and Waikoloa Beach Resort.
Let our travel advisors find the perfect last minute Hawaii hotel deal to match your budget and preferences!
