June 25,2003 -- It's madness, say the sponsors, complete madness. Call it what you will, it's a good deal, because you get a fourth night free for every three you stay. This is your summer bargain from Aston Hotels & Resorts, one of Hawaii's biggest hotel owners. If you want to visit elsewhere in the Aloha State, the free night offer is good at any Aston property in Hawaii.
One hot place is stay is the newly-renovated Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, one of the best values for that sought-after stretch of sand. This place, Aston's flagship property, is located just across the street from Waikiki Beach.
A typical vacation price includes the roundtrip airfare via United Airlines, four nights' lodging (first night free), roundtrip airport/hotel transfers, welcome orientation breakfast, fresh flower lei greeting, a guidebook and map, and more. Prices for one such package, with a standard room at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, start at $709 from Los Angeles or San Francisco, $884 from Denver, $999 from Chicago or New York and $1054 from Washington DC. Similar packages are available from other United gateways, of course.
Prices are per person, based on double occupancy and reflect Thursday departures between now and August 14, 2003. Airport and security fees are extra. Reserve by phoning United Vacations at 888/328-6877. Reservations for single-city destinations can also be made at www.unitedvacations.com.
