Hawaii Hotels Offer ‘Fun’ Discounts

Aston Hotels & Resorts is giving guests at any of its 29 hotels in Hawaii a new Aston Fun Book that features coupons good for free items.

However, only one booklet is given per guest party or one per room, and the coupons are generally good for one person.

Coupons apply to a variety of activities: sightseeing attractions, dinner cruises, restaurants, snorkel tours and glass-bottom boats.

Separate Fun Books, available until the end of the year, are given for each island. The program is expected to be continued next year.

On Oahu, coupon holders are offered a free boat tour from the North Bay Boat Club valued at $19, and a free glass-bottom boat cruise from Paradise Cruises worth $16. Maui coupons include a Windjammer dinner cruise worth $50 and an $8 tram tour from the Maui Tropical Plantation. Sample Kauai coupons are bicycle and moped rentals that ordinarily cost in the $15-to-$20 range.

On the Big Island of Hawaii, you can get a free ride from Kings’ Trail Ride valued at $30 and a complimentary scuba dive worth $45. For more information, contact Aston Hotels at (800) 922-7866.

The chain includes the Waikiki Grand Hotel, Waikiki Royal Suites and the Waikiki Phoenix. For more information, contact Classic Small Hotels at (800) 535-0085.
