· OHANA Hotels & Resorts Offers A Variety Of Travel Deals Save this summer and through the end of the year in Hawaii and Guam!HONOLULU, OAHU, Hawaii (July 17, 2003) - Vacationing in Hawaii means lots of sightseeing and carefree days filled with sun, sand and surf - all culminating in memories that will last a lifetime. But it doesn't have to cost your life's savings. Stay with OHANA Hotels & Resorts now through the end of the year and choose from an array of affordable travel deals and value-added offers on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii's Big Island. And if your travels take you beyond Hawaii to the tropical island of Guam in the Western Pacific, OHANA Hotels is offering many of these same specials at its two Guam properties. * OHANA's Best Value SimpleSaver Rates : OHANA's SimpleSaver Rates are the lowest the company has to offer. SimpleSaver Rates in Waikiki range from $69 to $109 per night, depending on which of the thirteen OHANA properties is booked. On Maui, the SimpleSaver Rate at the OHANA Maui Islander in picturesque Lahaina town is just $99 per night; and on the Big Island, the oceanfront OHANA Keauhou Beach Resort offers a nightly SimpleSaver Rate of only $119. And to encourage visitors to get out and explore the islands, Outrigger is offering the use of a compact Dollar Rent a Car for just $26 additional per day. Gas, optional coverage, parking and rental surcharge not included. * Minivan Summer Special: This summer, book OHANA Hotels' SimpleSaver rate at either the OHANA Maui Islander or the OHANA Keauhou Beach Resort and you can include a roomy, air-conditioned Dollar Rent A Car minivan for only $55 additional per day. This is a great option for the active family on the go, as minivans offer ample space for all their traveling gear! OHANA's Minivan Summer Special is valid through August 31, 2003. Gas, optional coverage, parking and rental surcharge not included. * Free Sailing in Waikiki: Stay five or more nights at any OHANA hotel in Waikiki and you could be sailing off the coast of Waikiki for free. Now through the end of the year, one free Outrigger Catamaran sail is provided per room with every stay of five consecutive nights or more, at any room category, at any paid rate, special or package (except wholesale packages). But that's not all. As an added bonus, OHANA guests receive a 10 percent discount on additional catamaran voyages purchased at the time of redemption. Valued at $30, the Outrigger Catamaran ride is a 90-minute voyage across the crystal blue waters of Waikiki and around Diamond Head, where schools of spinner and bottlenose dolphins are often sighted, along with humpback whales during the winter months. * First Night Free: OHANA Hotels is giving away free nights with its First Night Free program. Through August 25, 2003, guests who stay five consecutive nights at full published rates pay for only four. Nightly rates start at $129 in Waikiki, $149 on Maui, and $189 on Hawaii's Big Island. This fall, OHANA is sweetening the deal by dropping the minimum number of nights required to receive the free night. From August 26 through December 18, 2003, stay four consecutive nights at full published rates at any Hawaii OHANA hotel and pay for only three, or stay seven nights and pay for just five. * 50-Plus Program: Travelers at least 50 years of age qualify for a 30 percent discount off published retail room rates with OHANA Hotels in Hawaii.
