Happy New Year! Kirsten and I are back from Namale - AMAZING.

Thank you so much for setting up our travel. It was such an experience. We want to try to make it a reccurring trip - so you're my man! We got upgraded to one of the villas after a couple nights...it was crazy!

Thanks!

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)

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 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!!

Happy Hawaii Travel Reviews

Hey Melissa,

I'll start off by saying that everything was how we imagined it. Hotels were accommodating and exceeded our expectations. Which reminds me, thank you for the gift basket. Our favorite experience had to be the zodiac tour of the Na Pali coastline. Food and scenery was awesome.
Hiapo gave great advice on which island to spend the most time on. We definitely needed more time in Maui then Kauai.

Thanks for all your help.

Hawaii Vacations

Hello Melissa,

I just wanted to commend Hiapo for his excellent and timely service! I am not well versed in making travel arrangements and he was able to answer all my questions and obtain arrangements for that Hawaiian vacation I have always dreamed about taking. I can hardly wait!

Thank you for your excellent service. I hope this is the first of many other travels arranged by your agency for us.

Sincerely,

Kauai Vacation of our Lives

Hi Hiapo and Annette,

We just wanted to send you a note to thank you for helping us plan what was the best vacation of our lives! The service that the both of you provided was top notch and we truly thank you for making our honeymoon so special.

Hiapo, the hotel accommodations were amazing! I have to say, the St. Regis in Kauai is unlike any hotel we've ever stayed at. Thank you so much for helping us change our car rental to a convertible. Cruising around on the beautiful islands of Hawaii with the top down was awesome. And of course we really appreciate the bubbly that was dropped off in our hotel rooms on both Kauai and Maui.

Annette, thank you for providing the detailed information on the road to Hana. We stopped at the banana bread hut on the Keanae Peninsula. It was absolutely delicious! The activities we booked through you were so much fun. We enjoyed the surf lessons and snorkel trip to Molokini especially. We liked surfing so much, we booked them again before we left Maui.

We have been back to work for two weeks now and it's only 50 degrees here in NY. Luckily we took many photographs in Hawaii to remember the awesome time.

Thanks to you both again. We of course will mention your names to our friends who will be going to Hawaii in the upcoming months/years.

Fiji Surprise Honeymoon

Hi Hiapo,

I just wanted to send you an email after our first day here. So far the trip has been beyond amazing, more than I could have expected. I did not tell Tara any of the details of the trip, so the first class airline trip over, the honeymoon bure once we got here, etc. She has been totally amazed so far, this was exactly what she wanted for her honeymoon. I was surprised with the level of service from the staff here. Everyone we meet introduces themselves to us and wants to know how they can make our stay here more pleasurable. This was an unexpected surprise to me.

Thanks again,

Le Taha'a Fiji Vacation

The travels arrangements Hiapo made for us were perfect. As for Le Taha'a, the accommodations and the food were amazing. We couldn't get a massage appointment during the last four days we were there so your guests might want to plan those in advance. The local folks were all great and totally accommodating.

Fabulous Four Seasons Wailea Maui Hawaii

Hi Melissa,

Overall, we had a great time on our trip and it was a pleasure dealing with Hiapo who was very thorough and helpful.
The best part of course was being able to contact him and having him arrange everything from our hotel, flight and car rental and not having to juggle it all myself. We did have a room mix up, but once resolved things went very smoothly. And we really enjoyed the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea.
We didn't plan too much in the way of sightseeing, but the road to Hana was really spectacular, even though it was a long day's worth of driving, the views were breathtaking. We also really enjoyed Makena which was so close to the hotel and also provided incredible views. I loved going canoeing with the hotel's morning outrigger canoe group and getting a chance to go in the ocean and see the incredible sea life. Even though I'm not the best swimmer, they let me use a life jacket and with a pair of goggles I felt very safe and able to explore. I think that might have been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Seeing the live sea turtles and sea life. I had planned to go horseback riding in Makena and was really looking forward to it, but I got injured on my second outing with the canoe group when I got back into the canoe and hurt my rib. So that was a bummer.
I loved using the Four Seasons serenity pool at sunset and the jacuzzi to enjoy the magnificent vistas. And we took a few side trips to Kapalua, Lahaina and the Iao Needle which were fun. For the trip back, I hadn't realized that there was a three and a half hour layover in Honolulu. I do appreciate everything Hiapo did for us and will recommend your agency to our friends.

Incredible Fiji Dive Vacation

Hello Hiapo,
We had a fabulous vacation. At Papageno, they upgraded us to 1/2 a house, and it was beautiful. Zacharias, the dive master, is "one of a kind", like Dr. Doolittle under water. We were spoiled, since we were the only divers the 3 of us had the ocean to ourselves. Loved the short boat rides! Food was delicious. Elizabeth is so warm and friendly, a very nice hostess and bartender! Lydia, the nurse/resident and Scott shared a lot of stories. Initially, we were the only english speaking guests, everyone else was from Austria or Germany, but it worked out fine, we pieced together conversations with pieces of english and lots of hand signals. Week one was very laid back and ran on "Figi time", since they were not at capacity.

Week 2 was quite regimented, schedule-wise, but it needed to be, with all those divers. The bure was lovely, roomy, private and perfect! We were very late arriving, due to plane issues on the other end. However, Seta (or Seto) the Captain waited for us and transported us back to Beqa Lagoon Resort in the dark and on rough water. Talk about "above and beyond the call of duty". The meals were unbelievably delicious and the staff so friendly. It was nice to have the daily afternoon activities and evening entertainment. The dive staff, every one of them, was so friendly and accommodating! The wait staff were fun and friendly. Tu Emo is the best! He was everywhere ...escorting us to church service, leading us to the school for a tour and singing, singing in the choir, teaching about "roots to fruit" of the coconut, dive master, working on the grounds, teaching us about the kava ceremony....he's a gem (and has the best giggle I've ever heard)!

The bartending ladies were a fun bunch. Scott loved teaching them new martini recipes.

Tap water at both resorts was yummy.........that was a nice surprise, and much different than our Fiji trip a few years ago to Matangi and Maravu (altho' those islands were great too)

We did accrue more of a "cash due" bill than we expected, but that's obviously under our control as a guest. We chose to pay for specialty dives at each resort. We paid for a lot of juices, to mix with our own liquor, but also bought at the bar (yes, we're lushes). Buying the liquor at duty free was a great suggestion. The drinks we bought at the bar were reasonably priced. On both islands, we had massages, and those prices were very reasonable too.

Unlimited shore diving at BLR is not really a huge advantage, since it's very dependent upon the tide and can be a bit challenging at low tide. That's OK, the "real" diving was fabulous. The only negative is the long boat rides, but since they leave at 8:00 each day, it's a good jump start, compared to other resorts we've been to.

We wish Fiji was closer..........we'd go often. I think it was the best vacation we ever had!

Blessings to you and yours....

Beqa Lagoon Awesome Vacation

Hi Melissa,
I wanted to say that we really enjoyed our trip – the folks at Beqa were excellent and took very good care of us!
Hiapo was great to work with and put together a nice package for us. We really enjoyed it and will use you for future travel I’m sure!
So, highly recommend Beqa Lagoon Resort – they were awesome – a 5 star rating across the board! Excellent food, diving, staff and very friendly hosts. Finding the Scorpion Leaf Fish was a treasure. The Novotel was a nice, clean place and would be great as a hop–off point for some of the activities on the main island.

Hawaii Vacation

Melissa,

Our 'Weddingmoon' in Hawaii was perfect- we did not want to leave! Hiapo was completely wonderful and the Royal Hawaiian an amazing experience! There were so many fun parts, I don't know that I could narrow down a single favorite experience. We LOVED our hotel and everything they provided (view, breakfast, service, Mai Tai bar), the reception dinner at Azure Restaurant was perfect, and all our activities were fun.

I loved working with your agency and thank you for employing such wonderful people!

Bula Hiapo,

I just wanted to say thank you, and how much I appreciated your arranging our wedding and honeymoon! Everything went just as you said it would. And Sia was absolutely a joy to work with. She made is stress free and very fun to get married!

The weather wasn't that great, but it did clear up on Monday, the day of the wedding. Sia even made arrangements for us to sign the license documents on Saturday, the day we arrived.
