Three’s a charm in Hawaii this spring, with both a golf deal and a car rental promotion available with three-night stays at select properties. At the Queen Kapi’olani Hotel on Oahu, rates start at $179 (all prices U.S.) per night for a three-night minimum stay, plus the resort will chip in 18 holes of golf at Ewa Beach Golf Club for two people with golf cart rental. Located at the Diamond Head end of Waikiki, the 310-room Queen Kapi’olani recently completed a $5-million makeover. See www.queenkapiolani.com. Also on Oahu, select properties in the OHANA Hotels & Resorts chain are offering a free one-day Dollar Rent-A-Car compact car rental for every three nights booked, for stays March 15 through June 15. There’s the OHANA Waikiki East and the OHANA Waikiki Malia, both from $99 per night, and the OHANA Waikiki West, from $89 per night. See www.ohanahotels.com/freecarspecial.
