Testimonials

Thank you for helping us with our Hawaiian vacation. Your staff has been very helpful. Our favorite place to stay is the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort, in Kona. We don't do much except go on the snorkel tours which leave from Keauhou Bay. (Very convenient from the hotel). After snorkeling, we hang around the pool, and swim in the afternoons. Then we go into Kona for dinner, and maybe do a little shopping. Then it's back to the hotel, watch a little TV, and go to sleep. Next day, we do it all over again. We love it!!!

Thanks again,

Our trip was amazing. The booking of the Waikiki Parc Hotel, car and air fair by your company made our honeymoon carefree and stress-less. Absolutely perfect with a great price compared to many other travel agents and online booking sites! Thank you very much. I will definitely recommend your company and your knowledgeable staff to anyone that I know that will be visiting Hawaii.

Thank you so much for your interest in our vacation. It was wonderful as always. It is our favorite place to be in the whole world. Wish we could have stayed longer though... One week is not long enough when there are so many places to go and so much to do.

Thank you for assistance with our flight arrangments.

We had a great time - thank you for organizing our trip. The Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa is a fantastic resort. We also appreciated your gift - it is something we will treasure.

We enjoyed our stay at the Grand Champion Villas. The unit was spacious and convenient with the washer and dryer on the lanai. I believe we had good value for the amount we paid.

Making the arrangements through Daniel was very easy and he was very polite and thorough and accurate in explaining your policies.

I would consider using Great Hawaii Vacations again when making arrangements to visit the outer islands.

I wanted to thank your company as well as the Ritz Carlton Maui for the gift (wine and choclate strawberrys) plus the excellent room upgrade. It made my 50th birthday that much more enjoyable.

The Ritz Carlton Maui is a great property, very private and different from other surrounding hotels.

I wouldn't hesitate using you and your firm again next time we visit Hawaii.

I just wanted you to say that we appreciated all the travel arrangements Daniel Blau made for our Maui vacation. Our condo at the ResortQuest Mahana at Kaanapali was beautiful and if we ever go again, we'd love to have that exact condo. It was wonderful to have the upgrade with two bathrooms, actually.

Thanks again.

Just arrived home after 17 days on Maui . Wow, the 3rd time is a charm! We are now in the process of finding a home there. The flights booked through your company could not have been smoother. All seats were assigned and no problems there or back.

Many thanks go to you.

I want to thank you for the great service you have given us. Jennifer Runyon has been an extremely pleasant person to work with. We have appreciated her expertise right from the initial stages of our trip planning. Every step went without a hitch - something that cannot be said for the parts of our trip that were arranged through others. Thank you for the professionalism and compassion you demonstrated in the handling of our cancellation request. If there is a place on the web where we can recommend your services to others, let me know - others need to know.

Thanks again,

We stayed at Radisson Waikiki Prince Kuhio. The condo we stayed in was immaculate and filled with all kinds of nice touches. We had the greatest two weeks there. We didn't have maids or a luxury resort but the place was clean, the grounds were lovely, the parking was ample, our view and surroundings simply amazed us for the price. We were right next to the Prince Kuhio Park, so it was extra private, quiet and cozy. We LOVED it! Can't wait until we can go back!!

Mahalo,

We just got back from the ResortQuest Waikiki Sunset on Oahu. The travel arrangements were great. The condo was a little noisy in terms of street sounds, but the view was wonderful. This is our second vacation with your company and both were excellent.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The Palms at Wailea was so delightful. I highly recommend the garden view room. I sat outside on the lanai every morning with my coffee. It felt much more private than an ocean view room. The rental cars on both the Big Island and Maui were fantastic.

Thanks so much for everything. I will definitely call again and I will recommend Great Hawaii Vacations to everyone I know.

Thank you for helping us plan a wonderful vacation. Our accommodations at the Wailea Ekolu were very nice and the car rental went smoothly. Guest Services even recommended a spectacular luau at the Wailea Marriott Resort and the weather was perfect! We look forward to returning to Hawaii next year and will definitely contact your company for help with our vacation plans.

Thank you very much for your help. It has been a pleasure doing business with an honorable company and I will certainly recommend Great Hawaii Vacations to my friends.

Just wanted to thank you for the help you gave me in planning our trip in July. We really enjoyed it. Thanks also for the free desserts and coffee at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. I had a wonderful time!

Thanks again,

Jean and Larry Dingman
Cedar Grove, NJ

Our trip was truly wonderful and the holiday of our dreams was even better than we imagined it would be.

The accommodation was spacious, certainly by European standards, and spotlessly clean. The car hire procedure was effortless too. Everything seemed to have been planned so well. We were so glad we chose the Wailea Ekahi and would certainly go there again should the opportunity arise.

It was Jennifer Runyon who arranged this for us and I did email her when we got back to thank her for sorting out our booking.

I would certainly recommend your company.

In June I used your company's services for my family trip to Honolulu. After my return I had a charge on my charge card that was incorrect and Melodie Bold got in touch with me to resolve. Melodie kept in contact with me to solve this issue, she actually listened to my issue and concern and did not try to pass the buck or blow me off. I am sure you know that customer service can make or break you when you are in the people business. You could have lost me as a future customer, but instead I feel confident that I will utilize your services in the future. This is due to the professional, polite, quick follow-up and follow-through that Melodie provided. We don't get to compliment people very often and I wanted to take this moment to do that for Melodie. I greatly appreciated her efforts in getting this situation resolved for me and will be happy to recommend others to your company.

I would like to start by saying that our family had a very pleasant trip. We heartily thank you for all your planning. We have enjoyed our vacation very much.

We loved our stay at the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation, it was truly heaven for us. We look forward to coming back there again in the near future.

Last, we sincerely thank you for your warm welcome home email. It meant so much to us. We would surely recommend Great Hawaii Vacations to our friends & relatives.

We had an absolute beautiful vacation and "WOW!" how nice was it that we didn't have to worry about the details!

Tim Shaw was awesome! He told me about the hotel we were staying at and described it perfectly, he handled EVERYTHING for us & was so patient when I started to change things in mid-stream - he never seemed put out by me, always giving me my options with a smile in his voice.

Everything went so smooth, from the flight with our pre-assigned seats, to the rental car, which was perfect, to the Kannapali Beach Hotel, which I can't recommend enough! The people there were outstanding, so warm & accommodating - I just can't say enough about the hotel. I truly loved the Kannapali Beach Hotel - we never had to fight for a place at the pool, the grounds were so peaceful and very natural and they turned our beds down every night.

The whole atmosphere at the hotel and the surrounding area & beach was the best!!! I especially loved that you never felt like you had to get into your car, everything was right there within walking distance.

Thank you Great Hawaii Vacations for guiding us and arranging this memorable and beautiful vacation. I had many options to choose from and this package was perfect for us! In every way. It was as if you had read my mind - I will NEVER plan my vacation without you!

Warmest regards

We spent 10 fabulous days in Maui.

With Kavan Murphy's assistance the trip was perfect. This was our first trip to Maui and choosing a condo for the length of our stay was the perfection situation. The condo setting at Napili Point Resort was beautiful. The staff was friendly and took good care of us. Kavan also made sure that we had seating together on the return trip. We will definitely give Kavan a call next time we plan to visit Hawaii.

Aloha!!!!

Our hotel room at the Sheraton Maui was excellent. Your personnel was very helpful whenever I called to check on some "detail". The car rental process was smooth. In short, all of our expectations were met or exceeded. And we also enjoyed the gift that awaited us in our room. I will likely use your service again in the future when I get another chance to visit Hawaii.

We had a great experience and will highly recommend Great Hawaii Vacations to others and book through you on our next visit. Patti was wonderful to work with. Our condo at the Kaanapali Royal was spectacular. The unit was immaculate and the complex was very enjoyable to stay in.

Thank you for your assistance.

Cynthia Micale

Our trip was fantastic!! It was all thanks to your staff. The accommodations were great. The Kaanapali Beach Hotel was our favorite. The staff was very attentive to our needs, we received a bottle of champagne for our anniversary. They even turned our bed down every night and left us cookies and flowers!! Your staff recommended that we call Barefoot tours to book our luau and trip to Pearl Harbor. They told us the perfect tours and luau to take. Thank you all for a wonderful 25th anniversary! We will never forget it.

The trip was great. Patti Taylor did a tremendous job with getting me the rooms and adding an next extra night at very short notice. Every time I called, if I could not reach her, she would call me back within minutes with the info I was looking for. She is awesome!
