Top Luxury Picks
Looking for five-star treatment? Our statewide luxury rankings highlight the absolute best properties across all islands — from the Four Seasons Hualalai on the Big Island to the Halekulani on Oahu. Each pick is based on guest ratings, service quality, and on-the-ground visits.
Full Accommodations Guides
Hotels are just part of the picture. Each island's accommodations guide covers vacation rentals, condos, B&Bs, and budget options alongside our hotel rankings — plus area-by-area breakdowns so you know exactly which neighborhood fits your trip.
Booking Tips
When to Book
Peak season runs December through March and again in June through August. Book 3–6 months ahead for the best rates during these windows. Shoulder months (April–May, September–November) offer the steepest discounts — often 30–40% off peak pricing.
Resort Fees
Most Hawaii hotels charge a daily resort fee ($25–$50+) on top of the nightly rate. These fees typically cover Wi-Fi, pool access, parking discounts, and cultural activities. Always factor them into your budget when comparing properties.
Location Matters
Beachfront comes at a premium. Properties a short walk or drive from the beach can save you $100+ per night with minimal trade-off. On the Big Island, Kohala Coast resorts cluster along the sunny west side, while Hilo hotels are budget-friendly but rainier. On Maui, Wailea and Ka'anapali run top dollar; Kihei offers solid mid-range alternatives.
Car Rental Pairing
Most visitors need a rental car on every island except Waikiki. Book your car early — inventory gets tight in peak season. We recommend Discount Hawaii Car Rental for the best local rates.
