Kona Village - So Amazing Hawaii's only Thatched Hut Experience!

Aloha!

What an incredibly serene place to relax! Kona Village, on the Big Island of Hawaii, oozes relaxation with the sounds of the ocean all around and sassy palm fronds dancing in the breeze. Take a nap in your hammock, snorkel in their pristine cove, enjoy a massage in the oceanfront massage "hale". Whether a Family Vacation, much needed relaxing get away, a honeymoon or wedding, Kona Village brings the South Pacific to you without having to fly there!

The McCoy Travel gang had a really wonderful time together. Sue and Mark both flew out from the east coast. Everyone had their family or good friends with them. The Resort extended such amazing hospitality to us which is exactly what the staff extend to all guests. I felt like I had stepped back in time, enjoying a small thatched hut resort warm and welcoming staff.

We have exclusive offers and values at Kona Village. All meals and many activities are included. And we have even more in store for you. Call us in Hawaii at 1-800-256-4280.
For many last minute specials on resorts in Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, Mexico, Thailand and beyond.
Fondest regards
Melissa

I love assisting you with your travel plans and look forward to helping you with your next great vacation or adventure to the South Pacific!

I have been speaking with many of you about your holiday travel.

It is never too early to begin thinking about travel during that time of year. If you are considering a Vacation during Thanksgiving or Christmas, please give me a call at 213-784-6129 so that we can discuss the options available to you. I will do my best to find availability for you at the property of your choice, by working closely with the resort management and our wholesalers on your behalf.

Aloha and Kia Orana!

I have just returned from a wonderful week in the Cook Islands. My daughter Rachel and I had a great time together enjoying two of the beautiful islands. We spent our first five days on the main island of Rarotonga. A drop dead gorgeous white sand beach circles this entire island. You can walk for miles barefoot on this silky white sand and not encounter more than a handful of people! Sunrise and sunset views here are breathtaking. There are several small and intimate resorts to choose from.
We loved our stay at the Crown Beach Resort where we had a spacious 1 bdrm Beach bungalow just a few steps from the clear aqua blue water. We had our own private Jacuzzi tub on the deck which was the perfect way to enjoy a cocktail and watch the sunset! The service is consistently excellent throughout the island, and the people are friendly and warm. There is a nice selection of restaraunts, most within walking distance, and the food is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced.

After Rarotonga, we took a short and scenic flight over to the island of Aitutaki. There are some very nice resorts to choose from here also. Our favorite was the Pacific Resort Aitutaki. Their Beach Bungalows are richly furnished in solid mahogany, with many nice amenities and the ocean view from our deck was absolutely stunning.
Never have we seen more beautiful water than in Aitutaki! Our all day snorkel trip on the Bishop's Aitutaki Lagoon Cuise was definitely a highlight. We spent the day swimming, kayaking and snorkelling and were served a delicious barbeque lunch on "One Foot Island" (an adorable little island on the lagoon.. you can even get your passport officially stamped here!)
It was hard to say goodbye to all the friends we made in the "Cooks" and yet we are confident that we will be drawn back to this very special place again.
If you are looking for a spot that offers beautiful beaches, pristine clear water, total peace and quiet with excellent accommodations and great food... the Cook Islands are definitely a "must do".

Pick up the phone and call me, and let's plan your next fabulous getaway to the destination you are dreaming of.....
where will it be?

Warm & sunny regards,
Lori
