We’ve been to Honolulu and Maui. Stayed on the North Shore in Honolulu once. Wouldn’t go back. Way too busy for my liking. Loved Maui. Been 2x but it’s gotten crazy expensive. AirBnB we used to pay $125/night USD about 5yrs ago got sold and goes for $400/night now. Car rentals have doubled. Think the wife looked and it was going to cost over $2k for 2 weeks. And you need a car. We didn’t find groceries crazy expensive. And with an AirBnB we cooked the majority of meals at home. They had a gorgeous outdoor kitchen. Bought lots at Costco and topped up at Safeway. The cheapest part of Hawaii right now is getting there. Can usually find flight deals for under $500 if keep your eyes open.
We are currently in the Bahamas and now that’s expensive. Direct flight from Calgary was cheap. Everything else is $$$$ but it’s gorgeous here and I’m not looking at snow!
