The Big Island of Hawaii was the site of a grand gala this month featuring a fabulous multi-course dinner, some of the island's top Hawaiian musicians, fireworks and dignitaries, with even former Vice President Dan Quayle making an appearance.
It was a fitting way to celebrate 60 years, and a $240 million renovation, of the island's iconic property, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
The Points Guy was one of the first media outlets to get a look at the massive renovation of the Big Island's original resort. And extra bonus: Since it's a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, it's also a great place to earn and burn your Marriott Bonvoy points.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
