Dear Dave,
 

 
The most curious time of pet ownership is bringing your new family member home.  The most fun times are ALL of those smiles, tail wags and licks after that!  The saddest time is saying goodbye...
 
Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our little Ralphie last month.  She had been treated (by a great vet) for heart disease and Cushing's Disease for just over a year, and she did have a great year!  
 
Ralphie came into our lives as a stray on the streets of Palm Springs almost 5 years ago.  You can read her beginnings with us HERE We will totally miss her unending joy and smiles.  Many of you in BC also know Ralphie as our little Sales Rep assistant.
 
Our hearts and home are left with a huge hole that only that little dog could fill.  Thank you to all of you who welcomed Ralphie in your offices over the years with your smiles, treats and pets for her.
 
If you have a pet you love, give them some extra love tonight from us.

 
Dave Emery

Hilton Puerto Vallarta - The New Hacienda section!
The HIlton Puerto Vallarta, that has been a Canadian favourite since it opened a few years ago, is happy to announce that it opened the new Hacienda section.  
Hacienda
The 2 things that come to mind when I think of the Hacienda at the Hilton are:
bulletMexican elegance and
bulletAdults-only
You can book the Hacienda section with your favourite tour operator and find the updated Hilton Fact Sheet  HERE.
Hacienda
Of course you can find details of all of the Krystal Resorts HERE.
You know that many of your Maui guest fly back to the mainland on a red-eye.  So after they check out of their resort, they are basically homeless for the day... Well, Honua Kai has that solved with the free Aloha Lounge for both early arrivals and late departures.  
bulletHours of operation: 10AM-8PM
bulletIncluded: Sofas, A/C, Snacks, Water, Coffee, Kids play area, TV, beach towels, Restrooms, Outside lounge area. (fresh water showers near the pools)
bulletGuests get access at the front desk.
Remember, Honua Kai Resort & Spa broke ground in April on 72 luxury 3-bedroom townhomes on the grassy area behind the two buildings.  
 
Definitely don't be afraid to quote Honua Kai going forward.  The hours of development will be from Monday through Saturday from 9am -5pm.  During this time the remainder of the resort, pools, restaurants and all its amenities will still be available for guest enjoyment.
 
Note that the construction will only significantly affect our mountain and some of our resort view suites.  The POV and OV suites will not be significantly affected by the construction.  Look for construction/hard hat view rates in your favourite tour operator.  This may be the perfect time to quote construction rates to guests who would not normally have the budget to stay at Honua Kai. 

 

You can find more information about the development HERE.
 

We have an ongoing booking bonus for agents booking one of our Royal Collection suites.
 
Don't forget to remind your Honua Kai clients to use the #HKMemories to share their Honua Kai memories.
