No idea how it affects anyone else's dates,etc., but I just noticed (for my dates) that Hilton is offering a lower price, fully refundable up to 24 hrs before, called (great, now the exact name has fallen out of my head) but it's something like Dream On. So check it out. Cheaper than AAA or AARP.
I live here. Locally, Hilton has been vocal about keeping the Grand Wailea, the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the Hilton Waikoloa Village closed for the balance of the calendar year with it becoming more and more likely tourists won't be able to freely come to the islands this year.
With the resumption of the interisland travel ban on Tuesday, hospitals expected to be beyond capacity by August 19, in-school instruction pushed from 8/4 to no earlier than mid September, and a tightening of access rules that now makes it against the law to sit on a beach or use a hotel swimming pool or even a non-resident from renting a car on some/all islands, don't expect tourism to return here anytime soon...or for resorts to reopen early.
