The rate is always changing. You could book a lower rate for different hotels. My husband was a little bit picky on hotels, not for how many stars, but for the internet comments for general quanlity. As conversed to Canadian dollars, we spent about $3400 total, including everything else such as meals, activity and museum tickets, buses, shopping, gifts, and tips. It was with the budget. Not bad for a inspiring holiday. It is said the hurricane season in Hawaii is July to November, and the pice is much cheaper in that season.
