Fairmont Orchid $199; Kea Lani $249

Updated 10/21.  Thanks Kelly (comment below) for pointing out that Fairmont Orchid can be had for as little as $169, using hotels.com 15% off coupon.

to It’s not too late to take advantage of Fairmont’s Friends and Family Rate here in Hawaii (and elsewhere).

On checking over the weekend, I found dates available through December, including Thanksgiving, but not Christmas or New Year’s.

I first wrote about this deal back on April 6.  Here’s the trick to getting the rate:

Go to the hotel website which is linked below, and enter promotion code NFAF with your dates.  On page 3 of the booking screen enter Booker ID90022081.

All reports we’ve had indicate this works like a charm, and no questions asked.

• 522 sq. ft. room

Note:  I also found the Orchid (only) available on Orbitz at the same price, if you prefer.
