The Real Deal: Round-trip airfare on a major carrier (arriving in Honolulu, Oahu, and departing from Kahului, Maui), regional flights from Oahu to Kauai and from Kauai to Maui, nine nights' accommodations at a choice of hotels, breakfast daily (depending on hotel selected), and hotel taxes, from $915 per person — plus about $60 in taxes.

Why it's a deal: We priced out a multi-city itinerary on Kayak for travel in mid-August and found a $578 fare on Hawaiian Airlines. For $397 more, including all taxes, this package takes care of airfare as well as nine nights of accommodations, all in one booking. You also have the benefit of customizing your itinerary by choosing from beachdestinations.com's hotel offerings — 48 hotels on Oahu, 15 on Kauai, and 17 on Maui (many with breakfast included).

More: Add nights on Maui from $61 per person.
