[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Hawaii disappointment.

Everything is so ... manufactured. The culture, activities, etc. it’s like a big Disneyland that’s just a little prettier. The nature was pretty, but not as incredible as I expected with a few notable exceptions. Too many tourists, too many resorts, and I always look for places off the beaten path.

Compared to places with stunning marine life (Fiji, Galapagos, Polynesia) it places with nice beaches or views (Zanzibar, Pemba island, Maldives, certain parts of Thailand), or compared to places with culture (Italy, France, Bangkok) or history (siem reap, Vietnam, most anywhere in Europe) or nice cities (Paris, Rome, Capetown, Quito, etc) it seemed like it it was short in all dimensions.

Sorry you didn't find the off the beaten path stuff. We Didn't stay at a resort we rented a cottage. We rented a car and found lots of stuff the other tourists didn't. My favorite was an unmarked beach with awesome snorkeling. Saw several green turtles![/quote]

Hilarious that pp is describing Hawaii as  Disney-like, yet Rome is unique?? 
Rome was the most Epcot like city I’ve ever been to!
Where’d you go in Hawaii? Waikiki? Lol. 
Try Maui ( not just Wailea) or Hana. You’ll change your mind quickly. [/quote]
