Hotels

Molokai is Hawaii's most affordable island, especially for hotels. And because the island's restaurants are few, most hotel rooms and condo units come with kitchens, which can save you a bundle on dining costs.

The downside is that there aren't too many accommodations options on Molokai -- mostly B&Bs, condos, a few quaint oceanfront vacation rentals, and a motel-like hotel. For camping on Molokai, hardy souls can pitch their own tent at the beach or in the cool upland forest. I've listed my top picks here; for additional options, contact Molokai Vacation Properties, PO Box 1979, Kaunakakai, HI 96748 (tel. 800/367-2984 or 808/553-8334; fax 808/553-3783; www.molokai-vacation-rental.com). Note: Taxes of 13.41% will be added to your hotel bill. Parking is free.
