Resorts are used to receiving romantic requests. Ask for a dinner under the stars overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This photo was taken at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel on the Big Island. When choosing the best resort, consider details like spa facilities, golf courses, programs for kids and accommodation options. Couples who want ocean views from their room should call ahead and book early, especially during peak holiday weeks. Beach resorts often offer Hawaii vacation packages and deals that include spa service, rounds of golf or a rental car.
