Travel Deal of the Day (June 6, 2007)

One of the best (if not the best) Hawaiian travel deals for a five-star resort is still available. As reported in the March 27, 2007 post, you can stay for four nights at the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, a five-star resort that is consistently one of the highest rated US resorts in Conde Nast’s yearly reader survey, on the Hawaiian island of Lanai for $221.25/night. Keep in mind that other Four Seasons resorts on Maui and the Big Island in Hawaii generally cost at least two to three times that rate for the least expensive room.

The Deal:
Stay three nights for $295/night at the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele on the Hawaiian Island of Lanai, and receive the fourth night free until December 18, 2007. (Total average price is $221.25/night.)

How:
Go to the Package Page on the Four Seasons website.

The Inside Scoop:
The reason that this deal exists is that the Lodge at Koele is not the typical oceanfront Hawaiian resort. Instead, it is an activity-lover's paradise, with every activity you could ever imagine contained in an incredible five-star resort. The incredible news is that another Four Seasons hotel (Manele Bay) exists on the same island and is on one of Hawaii's nicest beaches. As a guest at the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, you can use all of the facilities at the Four Seasons Manele Bay - they will even transport you to/from each hotel. Since many moderate Hawaiian resorts are well over $500/night, a five-star resort for under $225/night is really a deal.
