Having a very difficult time getting a 5 night reservation starting around 12/27/06 to around 1/1/07. Wanting to stay at Grande Wailea, FS or Kea Lani.

Any suggestions as to how to circumvent the 7 to 14 night (varies by property) minimum stay?

Any suggestions on rate relief as they are quoting upwards of $750 to $1000 per night for the minimum stays.

Perhaps a tour operator that someone would recommend that could book a shorter stay at a more reasonable ($400 - $500) rate per night.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
