Hawaii hotel deals galore! Discounted room rates at more than a dozen hotels.

The year is less than a month old, but there’s no shortage of Hawaii hotel deals to welcome it. We’ve found a trio of great deals, aimed at making travel to the Islands a priority in 2010.

• Aqua Hotels & Resorts recently added Waikiki’s Maile Sky Court (pictured, right) to its family of 17 Hawaii properties. To celebrate, Aqua is offering the “MSC Introductory Special”—city view rooms at Maile Sky Court starting at $69 a night with free room upgrade upon availability.

The deal is available for bookings until June 30, 2010. For more information, click here or call (866) 406-2782.
