We were just walking down the street in Honolulu on our first day there. A man offered us free tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center if we would just listen to a brief presentation. He hurried us there so we would not "miss out". This was all so public that we assume the Hawaii Travel Bureau would stop it if it were shady. The presenation was very good and the offices were very professional. After the presentation we were ready to leave and tried to do just that very politely. We were put under pressure and then the Big Dog (who appeared to be from the islands) came in and found out that we had lived there years ago. He offered us a special "Kamaaina" deal. We told him we could not afford it but the pressure continued and he seemed so sincere that we buckled.

Paradise Blue has opened another office in Maui. Paradise Blue has changed its name to Pacific Dream s on Maui. It has opened in Old Lahaina Center, a Harry and Jannette Weinberg Foundadtion property. Any questions or problems concerning getting out of your contract with Destination paradise Hawaii (Paradise Blue and Pacific Dreams) please contact:

We went for the "free gift" and the "30" mintue program that lasted over 2 hours. We had to hand over our cell phones so someone could personally turn them off. We were told that we would not be allow to use the restroom, so please go before the program started. THAT IN ITSELF SHOULD OF THREW UP RED FLAGS...
