Ritz-Carlton Kapalua | $1000 credits, 5th night free

This email blast I received says it all:

• $500 Air Credit
• $500 resort credit
• 5th night free
• 1 BR Residential Garden View Suite
• 5 nights from $1229 per person

Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, located at the northwest tip of the island of Maui, offers a LOT of space to stretch out. Built on 55 acres of lushly landscaped and bordering a secluded beach, Ritz Carlton Kapalua offers golf, tennis, and an award winning kids program, Ambassadors of the Environment. The 1BR Residential Garden Suite offers a lot of space to stretch out, with your own kitchen so that you can fix some inexpensive lunches and dinners for the kids, if you prefer.

Available when you book a well-equipped one or two-bedroom Residential Suite, this package offers $1,000 in credits. You don't have to book with the package to receive the air credit, although you certainly can, and you will need to purchase an inexpensive Change and Cancel Waiver to qualify for the $500 air credit. While Virtuoso and STARS amenities do not apply to Ritz-Carlton promotional rates, you will be VIP'ed. I send a Hawaiian Bento Box as a welcome amenity to all of my Ritz-Carlton Kapalua guests.
