Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas

The classic Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas, a landmark beach resort  located in the famed Kapalua golf community, has created two special packages for golfers who want to fully experience the challenges and pleasures of golf at Kapalua. The resort is continuing its popular Unlimited Golf Package for 2002, featuring luxury accommodations at the hotel and unlimited golf at Kapalua's three award-winning courses. In addition, a new Villas Unlimited Golf Package has been introduced featuring unlimited golf and accommodations at the spacious villas adjacent to the hotel, accommodating up to four people.

Both Unlimited Golf Packages provide golfers with accommodations and a daily round of golf (one round per person, per night stayed) on any of Kapalua's three 18-hole championship courses: Plantation, Village or Bay. If golfers want to play another round on the same day, the second round is free on their choice of Kapalua's courses. The package price incorporates a substantial discount off the normal green fees, in addition to the free second round. The price includes cart and complimentary use of the Village's 18-hole putting course. Golfers can reserve their tee time with an exclusive 30-day advance tee time confirmation. (For the complimentary second round, confirmation of the second tee time must be made on the same day as the original round. It cannot be reserved in advance.)

The hotel's popular Unlimited Golf Package is available April 1 through December 20, 2002 and requires a two-night minimum stay. (From January through March, the hotel offers a similar Golf Package for the same rates, but excluding the free same-day second round.) Package rates are per night, per room, based on double occupancy, and are subject to applicable taxes. Package rates by room category are as follows: Garden View Room $450; Partial Ocean View $520; Ocean View $580; Deluxe Ocean View $670. Additional charges apply for more than two golfers.

The new Villas Unlimited Golf Package features the golf amenities described above, combined with one- or two-bedroom accommodations at the spectacular Bay Villas, located adjacent to the hotel. Kapalua Bay Hotel offers 15 private villas, overlooking Oneloa Bay, ranging in size from 1,400 to 2,300 square feet. Each unit provides luxurious accommodations and all the comforts of home including fully equipped kitchens, washers and dryers, spacious bathrooms with oversized tubs, private lanais (patios), televisions, vcrs, and air conditioning. Most of the hotel's villas front the ocean, and all offer magnificent ocean views. The villa community offers private recreational facilities including tennis courts, three swimming pools, cabanas and barbecues exclusively for use of villa guests. In addition, the hotel's villa guests have access to all the hotel's facilities and amenities, including restaurants and lounges, fitness center, daily maid service, concierge services, a specially-designed room service menu, optional pre-arrival grocery service and complimentary on-call resort shuttle service.
