Frommer's Hawaii from $80 a Day

By Jeanette Foster

Book Overview

Frommer's Hawaii from $80 a Day proves that you don't have to spend a fortune on a ritzy resort to experience the best of the islands. Meticulously researched by one of Hawaii's most noted journalists, this is a reliable, up-to-date, and comprehensive guide to the best bargains in the Aloha State. Our author has scoured every inch of the islands personally, and she's selected the very best B&Bs, cottage and condo rentals, authentic mom-and-pop restaurants, shopping bargains, and affordable after-dark fun. She's given you all the details you need to use the Web to plan your trip, and offers smart advice on package tours, airfare bargains, and more. We'll make sure that you'll truly experience the spirit of aloha -- we'll help you steer clear of anything that's overpriced, touristy, or inauthentic. With Frommer's in hand, you'll discover secluded beaches; great spots for snorkeling; golf courses with reasonable greens fees; hikes through volcano craters and lush rain forests; and secret waterfall swimming holes. We've even thrown in a free color fold-out map

Customer Reviews

Frommer's Guides are really helpful.

I have been very fortunate. I have had the oportunity to visit Hawai'i three times: The Big Island once, and Maui twice. I used a prevoius edition of this Frommer's Guide for a lot of my planning. I like the listings of inexpensive hotels, B & B's, restaurants and activities in the book. Inexpensive does not mean poor quality. I have never been disappointed when following the advice in the Guide. I also enjoy the recommendations and maps included. I find the Frommer's Guides to be very helpful, and have used other Frommer's Guides for trip planning: The Canadian Rockies, New Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, Florida for $ a Day, and San Francisco to name a few. They are a good starting point for planning a vacation.

Very Useful

On my trips to the Islands, I've found this book to be an excellent source of hotel, B & B, and restaurant recommendations. It is not the best overall guide, but it IS the best source of info for the above items. I've found that by taking this book along with the Lonely Planet (which is the best overall guide but is weak on lodging & restaurants) I have all the info I need to plan & enjoy my vacations to Hawaii.I've used this book for travel to Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, and have never found any of the reviews to be far off base. Highly recommended!
