Me and a few of my friends are planning a trip to hawaii for spring break next year. what are some good islands, cities, and hotels that would make our vacation the best?
All the islands have good beaches, although you might end up driving a little more to get to them on the Big Island. So you really have to choose based on what else you want.
Here are some key words, along with the best islands for each (no particular order) and a link to photos/more info:
BEACHES:
All the islands have amazing beaches with many different personalities.
