Pictures are worth a thousand words, so that must make videos worth millions of words, right? That seems to be the theory behind Concierge.com's Insider Guide to Hawaiian hotels, with a series of seven short videos narrated by Hawaiian-turned-New-Yorker Cathay Che. The idea is that the video should give you a better idea of the real quality of the resorts she checks in to compared to the glossy photos you usually see (sound familiar?)
A handful of hotels that you might consider for a Hawaiian vacation are featured in the video series, including the Ritz Carlton Kapalua and the Four Seasons Resort Lana'i. The web guide gives you a brief overview of each hotel or resort before sending you off to the video.
Warning: most of them feature a lot of host Cathay Che, a lot of roaring ocean shots, and not as much hotel footage — but Che has the ability to make even the worst situation sound good: she turned an ant-infested bed scenario at the Hanalei Colony Resort into a positive "good service" story!
Just for the record, her favorite is the Hotel Hana Maui which she describes as being very "unplugged" — which means it's probably not the place for us to take our WiFi addiction.
