There are dozens of far nicer and more enjoyable and hospitable places in the world to visit and spend money.
I have visited at the begin of the 90's and found it to be run down, over priced and mega attitude from the locals and most tourists...with the Pandemic going on we were looking for my Birthday-Get-Away (May) and it was in between Miami or Waikiki...the better half has not been to Waikiki so we decided to go Hawaii. I just hope hope hope...lol! Normally we would go to Bali! We need some Beach...greetings from Vail!
