From now through June 30, 2002, you can luxuriate in an ocean view room at one of Honolulu's most outstanding hotels, the Outrigger Reef on the Beach. One of the few hotels that is really ON Waikiki Beach, the Reef has long been known as a real find. It's not cheap, but you can save $201 off the normal price of $450 for an ocean view room if you book soon, to get a rate of only $249, which means a 45% discount.

In addition to the Reef, other Outrigger properties offering this special rate will also do so through June 30. They include the luxurious Outrigger Wailea Resort on the gorgeous island of Maui and the Outrigger Waikoloa Beach on the magnificent Big Island (itself called Hawaii), each of which has recently undergone a $25 million renovation.

In addition to the three hotels mentioned above, eight of Outrigger's condo resorts are included in the deal. The $249 rate makes them quite attractive for families or friends traveling together, since the condos each have ocean-view suites with full-service kitchens and often have two bedrooms (be sure to ask).

These condos include: On Oahu, the Outrigger Waikiki & Waikiki Shore (1-bedroom condos); on Maui, the Palms at Wailea (2-bedroom condos), Maui Eldorado Resort (2-bedroom condos) and Royal Kahana Resort (2-bedroom condos); on Kauai, the Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation (1-bedroom condos) and Lae Nani Resort (2-bedroom condos); on the Big Island, the Kanaloa at Kona (2-bedroom condos) and Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff (2-bedroom condos).

The $249 Oceanview Promotion rate is valid through June 30, 2002, and is based on availability. The rate does not include taxes or tips. Some restrictions and blackout dates apply. Remember, you MUST request this promotional rate when making reservations.
