Why It's a Deal: In comparison, the lowest round-trip fare we've found between Los Angeles and Lihue, Kauai, in early April is $407 (United). For about $595 more, Panda Travel takes care of the airfare as well as the five-night stay and a $100 dining credit. Rooms at the Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club typically start at $250 a night and can reach $320 per night on high-demand days.
Trip Details: This package includes round-trip airfare on major carriers and a five-night stay in a garden view room at the 345-room Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club. This ocean-side hotel is set on 800 tropical acres with an enormous swimming pool and features a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course. Your room will boast down comforters and designer duvets. Upgrade to a room with a partial ocean view for $64 a night, including taxes.
The package includes a $100 dining credit per room for the hotel's restaurants: Kukui's (Pacific Rim cuisine), Kalapaki Grill (American), and Aupaka Terrace (Japanese).
