As part of our 2008 effort to keep you advised of excellent accommodation bargains in Hawaii, I've just been advised of the following spring specials at Castle Resorts & Hotels. Castle offers a variety of accommodation choices, amenities and price ranges.

I have stayed at several Castle Resorts & Hotels over the years and always found them to be great values. While not offering many of the amenities of the larger resorts, they are always clean, safe and the staff is always friendly and helpful.

For travel now through June 25, 2008 on the island of Oahu and until June 5, 2008 for Kauai, Hawaii and Maui, Castle Resorts & Hotels is offering "SPRINGtacular Savings" at participating properties.
