Wonderful Hawaii Adventures

Photo from a Happy Client thanking Caroline Gold for helping her arrange two separate week-long vacations, one on Oahu and one on Maui. While she was on Maui, took Maui Adventures cruise over to Lana'i where dolphins were encountered -- which was a highlight of her visit and her dolphin collage is in honor of that adventure.

A Great Vacation in Hawaii

Aloha Sue,
We had a great time in Hawaii. Thank you so much, we had a room upgrade in both hotels. The room at Halekulani had great ocean front view and upon check in they surprised us with a bottle of champagne and a Happy Birthday note which was very sweet. At the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua we were upgraded to a suite. I could have not asked for better rooms :) Our domestic flight was also smooth and with no delays.

Thank you again as you helped perfecting our holiday.
I will for sure book all my future holidays with you!

Best Regards,

Hawaii Family Adventure

Hi Faye,

Thank you for helping with our wonderful trip. There were absolutely no glitches at the airports (all 8 flights!) -all went as planned. We were very pleased with all the resorts we stayed in. The Outrigger was perfect for Oahu, and we loved Duke's food. The Hilton Waikoloa and Grand Hyatt were both spectacular. Annette helped us with activities, all of which we enjoyed very much. Backcountry Adventures provided a fabulous zip line tour in Kauai and at the advice of a friend, we went on a boat in Oahu through Dolphin Excursions. We highly recommend them. Jenna was an outstanding captain.

Thanks again for an extremely memorable trip. We will certainly use McCoy again.
(Thanks also for the delicious short bread cookies sent to the Grand Hyatt).

Have a great rest of the summer,

Amazing Hawaii Vacation

Hi Melissa and Caroline,

Thank you for your wishes. We had a great trip to Hawaii. Caroline made sure to take care of the little details for us which made the trip very special.

I've also been looking for special business class flights and thought you might know of some good deals on flights to Austrailia. Also, any suggestions you might have for seeing the country and good hotel deals would be appreciated. I do not want 5-star hotels on this trip. I am going to research the area in the next week or so so I have an idea of the terrain.
Thanks for your help and expertise.
You are great!

Fantastic Sunny Warm Hawaii Vacation

Hello Faye,
We returned from the mild temperatures of Hawaii to the frigid cold of North Dakota; wish the weather could have been packed in the little room we had left in our luggage.

I want to personally thank you for the great trip you arranged for us. We all enjoyed this much needed vacation and your meticulous planning of our flights/lodging made it that much more enjoyable! We were very pleased with the lodging. Great views and easy access to the pool areas. Considering the locations of each condo unit and the plus/minus's of each; we certainly felt fortunate to have the unit that you placed us in. Where you rest and relax can certainly make or break an enjoyable vacation; and your great work in arranging the perfect lodging for us guaranteed that our vacation was enjoyable.

Overall I rate your performance as our Vacation Advisor as an A+ and will highly recommend you to family and friends for their vacations and I can assure you that you will be hearing from us to plan our next family vacation.
The only hiccup we experienced with the travel arrangements is Alamo charged us for an additional day for 1/2/11 since our flight did not leave until 9:40 PM.

Please extend our thanks to Annette Rawlings for the equally great work she did in arranging our activities. We enjoyed each and every activity she recommended. The only disappointment was the fishing trip; we didn't catch any fish! Too bad you can't arrange the fish's travel plans to intersect with our boat. Let us know when you will be adding this service as well. All kidding aside; the crew of the charter boat were very professional and tried very hard to find the fish and the experience will be remembered by all. Our favorite was the Molokini snorkeling. We were fortunate to have a clear day with calm waters; and lucky enough to have plenty of dolphin and whale sightings/viewing on top of the fish and turtles.

Thanks again to all at McCoy Travel for a great vacation that will be eternally remembered by the entire family. It will be a challenge to top this vacation; but we'll definitely be contacting you in the future to help us attempt an even better sequel.
Sincerely,
T. Wilkens & Family

Joyful Hawaii Client says planning was "flawless"

McCoy Travel Family,
We wanted to drop you guys a line since returning from our adventure to the Hawaiian Islands. We want to thank you so much Hiapo for putting the trip together for us. My wife and I had to put off our honeymoon 10 years ago due to family and financial limitations. Patience is a virtue and this trip met those expectations and more. We spent the first two nights in Oahu at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in the Rainbow Tower overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Pearl Harbor was a very moving experience and we enjoyed the step back in history. The city tour allowed for us to get a better grasp of the Hawaiian History prior to islands becoming a state. We spent the remaining time on the island of Kauai. It was so beautiful with the tourquios water and mountainous landscape. We stayed at the Sheraton on Poipu Beach. We spent our days taking a helicopter tour of the island, a boat tour of the Napali Coast, multiple snorkling trips and a luau at Smith's. It was a great time and we will never forget our gettaway . We have already had some friends ask about the trip and they have expressed desires to make the trip as well. We plan on sending them your way. You guys have got it down to a fine art with a flawless system. Thanks again for all that you guys did for us.

Hope to stay in touch.

Incredible Oahu Vacation

Lori,

We are settled in and back to work.....sigh!!!!
Oahu - Hawaii was beautiful! The hotel was great! It was clean, staff was nice, the adult only pool had us at hello!!!! LOL The flags on the back of the pool chairs to get service was a cool idea.....the waitress were super fast and efficient too! We loved the bar "Rum Fire" ...it was the happening place to dance under the stars!

We asked the locals about food and went to Duke's steakhouse ----OMG AMAZING--- we all agreed it was the best steaks we have ever had! Then we went to the "Shore Bird" for a fun night of grilling and singing - great memories!

The catamaran was awesome! We hiked diamond head which was breath-taking. Did some snorkeling at turtle cove and sharks head after we toured the island and shops on the north shore in our super cheap SUV you recommended!
Pear Harbor ....well still brings tears to my eyes.... it was a very moving experience for me as my dad was deployed from there 3 days after the bombing and sent to Okinawa where he received his purple heart. We meet 4 WWII vets which was just too cool for us! Got our pics taken with them and helped them place their lei's on the memorial!!!
All the food in the hotel was great and the breakfast deal was just that, a great deal! Food was really good!
The luau was great, food was good! Transportation not so much, but Overall things were great!

Flights were long but ok.....we all agreed first class the next time for more space. Being greeted with our names and a staff member right after getting off the plane made things MUCH easier for us! We do plan on returning some time ....all the locals recommended we try Maui next time....so why not!
Thanks so much and we did get your message....we had a meeting with the sun that day!

Mahalo to you and your staff!!!!

Amazing Fabulous South Pacific Cruise & Fiji

Bula Lori,
We both had a great time on the Fiji trip, thank you so much for the arrangements. The 7 day Blue Lagoon cruise was a delight we were very lucky to have had the B.L. CEO on board during the cruise that may have made things even better. The crew on the ship could not have done more for us, 1 crewman for each 3 passengers. This was truely a Birthday Trip to remember. The stay at the Westin was again great & Rosies Travel Service was outstanding. We had them arrange 2 day snorkling trips from Denarau Harbor that were outstanding. I would have to say that the best thing about the trip was the friendly & and helpful people we met in Fiji, the staff at Rosies, the Hotel staff, the ships crew as well as people on the streets.

Denarau Harbor has a number of very good restaraunts with reasonable prices, the hotels are a bit pricy however. Local transportation is also reasonable. If & when we go back to Fiji we think we would like to go to several of the outer Island resorts spending several days on 2 or 3 snorkling & relaxing.

We will be spending Jan. & Feb.2011 on Oahu. We would like to visit Kauii sometime during the stay & wonder if you have any deals on airfare from HNL & suggestions on were to stay?

Thanks again for all your help.

Hawaii Family Vacation

Hi Sue!

Hawaii is awesome! I loved it, not enough time though, next time it will be much longer. The resorts were beautiful. I really can't tell which was my favorite because they both had qualities that I enjoy, The Hilton Waikoloa was just beautiful. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and it was so nice that it was included. The vow renewal was very nice Penei was very sweet and the photographer we had we really nice too, we got some really awesome pictures. We went on a helicopter ride with Blue Hawaiian Helicopters, and I was very excited I didn't get sick, I was a little disappointed that the trip we selected didn't take us to see the top of the Volcano, There was just not enough time to explore.

The Hawaiian Hilton, I loved being in Oahu, all the activities going on there. Our room was fine.

The flights were long on the way out, I never dreamed that a 6 hour time difference would cause such a difference in your body clock. But it just made us feel like early risers!! The flight home was delayed until 9:00 pm which was awesome because we went Para sailing right before we left. My cousin asked his girlfriend to marry him while they were up in the air so that was really special and I would have been so disappointed to have missed it. So, I'm sure God made the flight late so I could be there!! :) Cause I've been coaching him forever on getting engaged!!

All in all the trip was awesome and I am going back and staying 2 weeks next time. I'm even thinking of going back with my husband next May for our 25th Anniversary, (if we can swing it). Thanks for everything!

Aloha!!

Fabulou Hawaii Vacation

Aloha Sue,

Our vacation was wonderful!!! Thank you for all the work you put into making this such a memorable experience. Thanks also for the welcoming snack basket. I couldn't stay away from the chocolate macadamia nuts!! The Fairmont was spectacular, our room was excellent and so was our view. We enjoyed the breakfast, it really kept us going all day. We toured pretty much of the island ( in our sweet red mustang convertible) Ron is still dreaming about that, and we feel that the Fairmont in Wailea was a perfect pick for us.Absolutely beautiful!!! We really enjoyed the tours, we were upgraded on the helicopter ride and viewed the whole island from the front seats with the pilot-- spectacular!! The snorkel cruise was a lot of fun and very exciting seeing all the sea turtles, fish, coral, and even an octopus.

The luau was enjoyable and the ride to lahaina was unbelievable, it had just rained, and we saw so many rainbows!!! It was so beautiful pictures couldn't capture it. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed Maui. Oahu was nice, and glad we were able to see it, but didn't compare to Maui. Pearl Harbor was touching and definitely something to experience. We enjoyed watching all the surfers on Wakiki beach. The Royal Hawaiian was nice, ( pool is awfully small), but once again probably not fair to compare after staying at the Fairmont.
I really can't thank you enough, you were very pleasant to work with, and I feel you truly put together the best possible vacation package for us!!! Would definitely contact you for any future vacation plans!!

Thanks again,

Incredible Hawaii Vacation

Aloha , Below is the info on the wonderful lady Sue, that I found who was so great helping me plan our Hawaii trip. Like said, it was INCREDIBLE, and she's really good at knowing what's going to be best for you after she talks to you for awhile. I'm convinced our conversations helped her with leading me to the right hotel, etc. Also they have great packages they can put together with their vendors. If you want to go to Oahu/Honolulu/Waikiki, I would definitely stay at the Moana Surfrider Westin. It is right on the beach, and the hotel is GORGEOUS! The food was incredible, the Spa experience was AMAZING, and it is literally right on the "Rodeo Drive" of Honolulu as far as shopping. Ridiculous! We had a beautiful tower room; it was pretty big, (an auto-upgrade in the package we bought) and was literally overlooking the ocean and Waikiki beach - it could not have been more surreal! The room also had a nice-sized balcony with two patio chairs and a small table and plenty of room to just hang out and listen to the surf (Tim literally thought he had died and gone to heaven!). I took several pics (hundreds!); one is the sunset one night (a big event as you can see), the hotel front at night (doesn't do it justice!), the bay where we went snorkeling (OMG! gorgeous and too much fun to see all the pretty fishies!) and the views from our room (yes, that big "mountain" on the left is Diamond Head which is on the SE end of the island; it was a volcano once I think). The hotel had a complimentary "special services coordinator" person that could help you with the different tours to do whatever you wanted. The tours were too fun and the guides were a hoot! The snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was SO much fun, and Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona were unforgettable. They were both very reasonably priced. But you might decide you'd rather do something else, and try Maui, Hawaii or Kauai; they are all supposed to be beautiful (we'll do one of those next time) There's tons of stuff to do on those islands and they are much less populated (Oahu has 75% of Hawaii's population probably due to the hospitality industry since Pearl Harbor and Waikiki are there). Anyway, when you're ready, Sue is a great help at guiding you to what you want based on your budget. AND travel is pretty darn cheap right now; I was really surprised how much we got for how little. It was everything I dreamed of, and more - Like the pilot said when we arrived into Honolulu, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to PARADISE!!! " and IT WAS !!!!!

Awesome Hawaii Vacation

Brenda,

I just want to say thank you for your hard work. The travel to Oahu was great. We got to the Memorial, and PCC. It rained, but we had a good time. Got to the hotel around 10:00pm. Hotel was nice. Left at 6:00am. When I set up my next trip to Hawaii I will give you a call. I love having a good time, and so does Francine. We travel great together. Thanks Brenda, for caring enough.

Thank you so very much!

Great Hawaiian Vacation

Aloha Melissa & Michael,
Our Trip was great – 2 nights at the Ihilani in Oahu and then the rest of the time in Maui.

Loved the snorkel trip and it worked great because it was like being on a Whale watch tour as well. The Luau was great – everyone enjoyed it. Beach at Kaanapali was fantastic and the Westin is a great hotel – it was packed but to be expected given school vacation week.

The first night at the Ihilani was Valentines day and we did not think to make a dinner reservation in advance and everything was booked. We expressed our concern to the hotel manager and they actually set us up with a room service menu that was fantastic – expensive but fantastic. They comped us a few appetizers and really did a great job. – This confirms my experience with great service from the Marriott.

Mokulele Airlines was great on the trip to Maui. Found out on the way that they do not have a bag agreement with American so it was best to fly back via Hawaiian so the bags could get checked straight through.

However, when I logged in on Friday I was able to get boarding passes for my American flights but not for Hawaiian Air and the line at the airport was the worst I have seen in a long time. It took well over an hour and 15 minutes to check in and I thought we were going to miss our flight- they could not explain why I could not print the boarding passes in advance.

All worked out in the end & we'll be in touch with you for our next trip!

Bottom line Hawaii is paradise after a long New England winter.
