Packages cater to couples at the Aqua Hotels.

Whether they’re celebrating a special occasion or relishing time together, couples visiting Oahu have a wealth of romantic hotel packages from which to choose.
Castle Resorts and Hotels, for instance, just changed its romance program from a package to an add-on.
"We wanted to provide more value, rather than a package where the price is fixed," explained Castle’s senior director of marketing Donna Wheeler.
At its Waikiki Shore property, clients can book the program — called Kiss Me Everywhere — along with any rate plan or category. It comes with a rental car and a gift basket with romantic amenities. The cost of the add-on is $88 per night.
