Why not investigate Hotels yourself? Do you need to book a Flight and Hotel package?

says from £705, and based on 2 people sharing, there may have been limited dates at this price

I know just how you feel. I was looking for a trip to Oahu last year but gave up in the end as they were just too flippin expensive.

Saying that though I've just looked on booking . com and they have some reasonably priced hotels. look at the holiday inn waikiki beachcomber 420 for 5 nights 14 - 19 nov. that's the room price, not pp. that's just hotel btw (i know nothing about this hotel tho, so don't take my word that it's decent )

hope that helps - i'm tempted now!!

Hawaii is pretty much renowned as a couples place so being on your own might not be much fun, there are plenty of strip clubs though.

It depends how long you are going for and how flexible you are willing to be.

Booking a single hotel for your trip in advance can usually be more expensive that if you get yourself out there and take a look around, even stopping off in mainland America and booking from there can be cheaper than booking from the UK.

At the moment, booking in advance would cost you upwards of £50/night at the cheap end and upwards of £150/night for the classy hotels.

im very flexible with my dates but i think november is the cheapest time out there.
i would like to go for 2-3 or 4 weeks
i have been there 7 times before and money was not an issue then when i was working.
but now im not working (recovering from cancer) i just fancy going back, but limited budget.

Do Priceline cover Hawaii? It would be worth checking, see if you can get good value hotels through them?
