Planning a fantastic Kona Village Vacation in Hawaii

Thank you, Melissa for your newsy letter :-)

I forwarded your last note to a friend. He and his wife might be interested in staying at the new condo you wrote about. I also alerted another friend to the fact that you also book Australia trips. They are planning one in 2012. We have been invited to accompany them but do not know if hubby can stand the long plane ride. Time will tell.

We are truly looking forward to our February Kona Village vacation that Hiapo is helping us plan and hardly a day goes by that it isn't mentioned. Hiapo's note about his travels was very informative too and I am really excited to be working with McCoy Travel.

Aloha (I'm practicing)

Lovely Qamea Fiji Vacation

Aloha & Bula!,

We could write a book on our wonderful experiences in Qamea, Fiji Islands. The trip was a "heavenly" experience. We have never had such an awesome vacation! The island was gorgeous, the coral reef unbelievable, the people were beautiful, and the resort was out of this world!

Mike did a wonderful job of lining up our travel and connections to give us a vacation of our life. Our travel was seamless and worked like clockwork. We have nothing but praise for Mike and your agency and have recommended you to others many times. We were also very surprised at our "thank you" spa treatment and bottle of champagne from Mike. We felt very special. Thanks, Mike!

The service and attention of the staff at Qamea Resort and Spa was marvelous. They are a beautiful people, so kind and friendly. It really amazed us that they could all call each guest by their first names the minute we arrived and continued throughout our stay. They were the warmest and kindest people we have ever encountered. We were like family while there.

The land and people are unspoiled. The area is VERY RELAXING, but not to the point of boredom. One could be busy as wanted, or as relaxed as wanted. It was a wonderful experience to be in such a pristine land without TV, LOTS of people, and the hustle and bustle of the busy city life. We would recommend for all to take a trip to Qamea Resort and Spa.

On our trip to the village and school, we discovered warm and accepting people. The children were beautiful and so polite. We soon realized that the school was in need. Although we took notebooks and pencils, we found that there was a lack of books. Others took school supplies too. I would like for you to advise your clients that if they are so inclined and would like to share with the children, books suitable for K-6th graders would sure be appreciated to begin a small library that was lost in a recent hurricane. Travelers need to know that there is a need and appreciation by the people who visit. I have made it my campaign to get the children a nice library and books in their homes too. Thank you.

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!!!!

Fantastic Maui Vacation

Aloha Lori and Mahalo for arranging such a wonderful trip for us!

We had a fabulous vacation on Maui! It was really hard to leave, and even harder to arrive home to the daily grind. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time), we are going to need something closer to 2 weeks to really bask in the relaxing pace of it all. Here are some of our thoughts on the places, and please be sure to let us know if you have questions:

Honua Kai - was a beautiful place - spacious, comfortable rooms, huge lanai, nice facilities, lovely grounds, good restaurant. The kitchen could use a bit of shelving for food as the dishes took up all the cupboard space.

Kea Lani - What can I say? It's the Kea Lani. We love it. Absolutely love it. Beautiful rooms, grounds, pools, beach. Impeccable and friendly service. Fantastic breakfast buffet. No wonder we keep going back. We loved them when they put us in that Villa four years ago, but we also love their regular suite! :) We love almost everything about the Kea Lani. The ONLY downside is that they no longer have a reasonably priced restaurant to have dinner with your kids.

The beaches at Wailea and Makena are sooooo great, and they were much more accessible to our children than Kaanapali. I was surprised by this, as I vacationed for years on Kaanapali with my own parents and siblings when I was growing up. I remember playing in the ocean all day, every day. But the ocean in front of Honua Kai was too rough for our kids the first few days, and was too immediately deep for them to play in safely. There's no sand shelf. The Wailea beaches have that (a soft, sandy, gradual bottom), plus the snorkeling, so our kids were able to boogie board, body surf, and snorkel all day. We saw a huge (probably 5 ft) sea turtle down there - totally awesome!

We had fantastic meals throughout the trip, did part of the Hana Highway, went to Haleakala, and just all around enjoyed ourselves. I really can't wait to go back. We were sorry not to get to see you and give you a squeeze. Next time, okay? If you have any questions about any of my comments, please feel free to call me. Thanks again Lori, we had a fantastic time! :)

Incredible Fiji Vacation

Bula,

We had an amazing holiday at Castaway Island in Fiji. Thanks to Lori for being really helpful in getting our transfers and hotel planned. The staff at Castaway is truly unique...in all of my travels around the world I have never encountered such a friendly staff anywhere. We only spoke to Lori a few times but she was able to answer all of our questions and get back to us with answers she did not know. Everytime we called she answered her phone...no voicemail and no sitting on hold. It was a nice feeling to know that when we called we were able to talk to Lori.
Keep up the great work Lori!!!

Fiji & Hawaii Luxury Travels

Aloha Faye,

The trip was excellent, thank you very much. Namale was almost perfect with super nice people, excellent facilities and service. They really went out of their way for our anniversary dinner with music, cake and room decorations. I told Anna, they probably have never seen people who stayed together for 35 years. We have broken the Namale record (it was 30th anniversary before). The diving was badly affected by the weather but I did get certified, so I am happy. The villa was excellent.

Hawaii was very good. Four Seasons is Four Seasons - always the same and always good. We found ourselves talking about Namale all the time which tells you how much we appreciated it. The golfing was very good and lava boat even better.

As for your services, no complains whatsoever. I am very happy and will mention you on TripAdvisor. You do not have to change anything.

I hope your NZ trip was equally good. Thanks again for your help and we are looking forward to using your services again. I promise I will share you with others against my common sense.

Incredible Kid Friendly Hawaii Vacation

Hey Melissa & Hiapo,

Thanks so much for checking in. We had a wonderful time. Our son got to practice snorkeling with the boogie board that had a face hole in it - he could float on the board and use his snorkel to watch the giant turtles, He loved it! He also liked the fire dancer at the luau.

Thanks again- we had a great time!!
