Grand Wailea for a good price? What's a good price?
I think GW rates have come down since their foreclosure..
Officially, I've got 5 nights on HNL.. and actively looking.. Halekulani.. checked out Hilton Hawaiian Village.. Aulani is out of sorts.. still need to check out the Trump.. my wife wants to stay in one.. I was going to look into Trump in NY, but booked 6 nights at the Plaza instead..

I found the Grand Wailea online (and I really think it was "Cheaptickets" a few years ago) for $225 US per night. That, unfortunately, is a VERY good price!
Just checked and it's about $331 now, but you may be able to get that down if you look at specific dates.
We like to stay at G.W., but we always go to Four Seasons for Breakfast, on their Lanai. As you probably know, it's right next door.
Even though we are not kids, we LOVE the water park at Grand Wailea. We spend a lot of time there.
The G.W. is our favorite hotel anywhere. Bar none.
My S.O. also loves Trump properties. We've stayed Chicago. Never NY nor Waikiki. But we visit them often and have used the spas and sat at the bars. I think you and Mrs. A.M. would love Trump. They are very fine.

Sorry AM, you're right. I should have posted that.

We stay at Kea Lani when in the area.. love the suite..
I imagine you've done Spagos and Nicks Fish Market.. all very good..
No mention that Virtuoso can do Trump.. or can they?

LOL! phew.. I though Fairmont punted Nick's or something.. they would have to get rid of them, as Nicks (a privately owned restaurant) is the most popular restaurant at Kea Lani..

You never go away hungry, and their entrees seemed to be layered with different palates, colours, and volume (emphasis on the volume).. Nobody wants to pay $40 per entree and walk away hungry.
btw.. I'm getting to the tenth and eleventh hour and my attempt at Halekulani did not work with the Virtuoso agent.. So where do you get the best deal on Trump Waikiki? Is there better than www.hotelclub.com/visa? Moana Surfrider caught the corner of my eye as well..

Unfortunately, I don't have specific suggestions for finding deals at Trump Waikiki. However, I know that individual condo owners (and companies that own multiple condos) make different deals through various channels. If you can identify agents who specialize in this sort of thing, it's possible you could get a good deal. Brokers who specialize in selling condos there might also have ideas.

Sort of like www.vrbo.com or www.homeaway.com .. Possible for just a 4 or 5 night stay?

Says a 1 BR suite "starts" at $300/night. That's an excellent value if you can actually get it. The 1BR units there are really nice.

The North side of the building has a great view of the Fri night fireworks at Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you're facing south, view from the lounge is quite nice too.
