We travelled to Hawaii from September 1-13 2025 between Maui and Kauai ending off at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay for our honeymoon, and it was an absolute dream. From the moment we began planning with Claire Ruscitti, we felt completely taken care of. Claire was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, so quick, and proactive - her support allowed us to truly relax, which is no small feat when you're juggling wedding and travel planning at the same time.
Upon all hotel arrivals, we were welcomed with beautifully curated greetings that set the tone for the entire stay. Our rooms exceeded every expectation, not only because of the upgrades, but thanks to the thoughtful touches and delicious treats coordinated by Claire made us feel truly special. We also received a few extra perks and comps that added real value to our experience.
What really made the experience unforgettable though, was the people - the hotel staff and Claire. Everyone we encountered was kind, helpful, and made us feel at home.
As our family grows, we hope to return to Hawaii again and again and will definitely rely on Claire for her expertise!

Claire was so helpful with planning our vacation and making it special. She listened to all of our needs and found the perfect hotel for us (and gave us ideas for our next trip too!!). She followed up during our stay to make sure everything was going well. I can't wait to work with Claire again soon.
