   I just received this question on the book:

   Thank you for your great review of the 2009 Entertainment book. I would really like to know if there is a discount page for Waimea Plantation Cottages on Kauai. We go there often and the desk clerk said that’s the best way to save but I don’t want to buy the book if that particular value doesn’t appear.

   and I said:

   Yes, Waimea Plantation Cottages is listed under the Direct to Hotel Program where you identify yourself as an Entertainment member, book your rate of ‘up to 50% off rack rates’ and then present your Entertainment card on check in. Just so you know though, the hotels sometimes only offer so many of these types of specials at a time and once they sell out, you will be told there aren’t any available.

   Are there enough restaurants on Maui to merit purchase? What activities/entertainment would there be? That’s the only island we’re visiting. We’ll be there late Oct, early Nov.

   Thanks for your review. On tripadvisor I found several references on coupon book for PCC – is there a coupon for the poly. cult. center in 2009?

   Besides polyad – are there any other tour companies covered? We’ll be visiting in April – and plan to go to Oahu, Hawaii and Mauii

   Great idea about selling on ebay – thanks!

5. 5 lisa 16 December 2008 @ 7:13 pm

   Yes, there is a buy one get one free coupon for the Polynesian Cultural Center. Up to $43 value. There are no other major tour companies represented but there are a few smaller ones.

6. 6 Chandi 17 December 2008 @ 1:44 pm

   Are the coupons in the book good for the entire year of 2009? They are not month specific? Example only good for the month of July 09.

7. 7 lisa 17 December 2008 @ 2:44 pm

   The coupons are normally good from the day the book is first sold (usually sometime in the fall of the year before) till November 1st of the Year of.

   Practically all of the coupons in the 2009 book say ‘good till November 1, 2009′ and I just saw a car rental one that said ‘good till July 10, 2010′.

8. 8 Amy 19 December 2008 @ 9:51 am

   What does a luau usually cost per person or couple? Does this book offer a price list of things to do, excursions,etc?

9. 9 lisa 22 December 2008 @ 3:58 pm

   Well, a luau with show and food can cost as little as $60 to $70 per person .. or more. The book does not offer a price list, but does offer an index for dining, fast food, activities, etc.

10. 10 Rachel 6 January 2009 @ 11:19 am

    Where is the best site to purchase the entertainment book and how long does it take to arrive?

11. 11 Nikke 7 January 2009 @ 12:06 am

    Does the book offer coupon for Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu….I know that it has in the past?

12. 12 Robin 8 January 2009 @ 12:39 pm

    Is there a discount if you purchase more than one book?

13. 13 Linda 11 January 2009 @ 2:36 am

    Are there enough coupons for Kauai in the book to make it worthwhile? Thanks for the input… it was very helpful.

14. 14 STEVE 12 January 2009 @ 4:53 pm

    Mahalo:
    As of Oct. ‘08 Hecocks in Lahaina had closed its doors. Absent re-opening with new owner will to accept coupons any ‘09 coupons are not usable.

    Bada Bing is awesome for cool lunch on our leisure trips down Kehei way.

15. 15 lisa 12 January 2009 @ 10:26 pm

    Just click through the link in my post and buy it from the original site. I think they have different shipping options.

16. 16 lisa 13 January 2009 @ 12:52 am

    Yes, Polynesian Cultural Center offers buy one get one free adult – up to $43 off. 2009 edition.

17. 17 lisa 13 January 2009 @ 12:56 am

    Linda –Honestly, for kauai, I don’t think I would buy it. There isn’t much. Robin .. Click through the link – I don’t know if there is a discount for more than one or not.

18. 18 kc 20 February 2009 @ 3:19 am

20. 20 Helena 12 April 2009 @ 7:28 pm

    Hi Lisa,
    I just bought a book since our family will be going to Hawaii the beginning of May. I noticed the coupon for the Polynesian Cultural Center is 2-for-1 adult general admission. Would I need another coupon for my 2 children under the age of 11? I don’t really want to buy another book just for that. Any suggestions? Any other place to find a discount? Thanks.

21. 21 lisa 13 April 2009 @ 4:20 am

    Hi Helena, well, it would seem buying another book will not help you since it is an adult admission coupon. I don’t know of another place to find a discount, but when you get to Oahu just look through the vistor guides you’ll find at the airport or anywhere. You very well could find one.

22. 22 confused 22 May 2009 @ 8:50 pm

    Hello, I have read in a few of the blogs here that there are coupons for the Polyn. Cultural center and for Royal Lahaina Luau. I just ordered the Hawaii book per your suggestion and the listing of available coupons I get doesn’t list either one of those. Could there be a difference in the books? This one is the only one for Hawaii for 2009. Thanks for your time.

23. 23 lisa 23 May 2009 @ 1:49 am

    the polynesian cultural center is page E18 and the Royal Lahaina Luau is page B23.

24. 24 confused 2 June 2009 @ 10:06 am

    Hello Lisa,
    Got the book in the mail and the coupons are EXACTLY as you said! Thanks for the awesome tip. We will be using both of those for sure and probably more! Aloha

25. 25 Hawaii Car Rental Coupons and Rental Coupon Codes 24 June 2009 @ 6:25 pm

    [...] Entertainment Book always seems to have car rental coupons. I do a review of the Hawaii one every year here. Examples are: Save $25 on a weekly rental. Free double upgrade. 10% off standard daily rates. $20 [...]

26. 26 Margaret 25 June 2009 @ 5:48 pm

    Is the 2 for 1 coupon for the Polynesian Cultural Center good for the Ambassador level the one that includes the Lu’au and guided tour, etc.

27. 27 lisa 26 June 2009 @ 12:52 am

    I’m not sure. It doesn’t say. The value is up to $43 and it just says good for admission. My guess would be no.

28. 28 Lisa 4 July 2009 @ 1:44 pm

    I just bought the Hawaii 2009 book for $9.99 (plus shipping)without having to order the 2010. Just look for the small print under the picture of the book on the left-hand side of the page where the new “deal” is offered.

29. 29 Jane 8 July 2009 @ 4:16 am

    I was just wondering I live in the UK – how can I get hold of the 2009 Hawaii Entertainment Guide – tried to buy and had to have a USA billing address.

30. 30 lisa 9 July 2009 @ 3:10 pm

    (thanks Lisa! sooo much!) and Jane, try ebay.com Plenty of people sell entertainment books there.

31. 31 judy 19 July 2009 @ 4:08 am

    do you know if the aquarium or sea life park is in the book?

    thanks!

32. 32 lisa 19 July 2009 @ 5:16 pm

    Nope, neither is in the 2009 book, but the Honolulu aquarium is incredibly inexpensive.

33. 33 mona 29 December 2009 @ 12:37 am

    does the 2010 entertainment book have a coupon for the Island Breeze Luau on the big island? Thanks

34. 34 lisa 29 December 2009 @ 2:56 pm

    No, I did not see one in the 2010 book. Too bad – maybe it will come back in 2011.

35. 35 Trinna 9 January 2010 @ 12:17 pm

    Does the 2010 entertainment book have coupons for snorkel cruises like 2009? I am bummed about it not having an Island Breeze Luau one anymore.

36. 36 lisa 9 January 2010 @ 6:24 pm

    Hi Trinna,

    Here are the activity coupons for the Big Island: you’ll notice that it’s got Body Glove cruises on there.

    Hi Lisa:

    Going to visit Maui in March 2010 and I went to the http://www.Entertainmentbook.com and it seems that none or nearly none of your posted maui coupons are in the 2010 book. Can you confirm or comment please? Thank you

    Doug

38. 38 lisa 25 January 2010 @ 4:52 pm

    Hi Doug,

    I have the physical book and I actually went through it and counted and recorded all the coupons. What may have happened is that what you are seeing is the online coupons at the entertainment site. When you buy a book you also get access to many online coupons that you can print out. If you click on A-Z Discounts, a teeny text link, you will see all the ones I talk about. Lisa
