With the weather heating up on the East Coast, it is tempting to play hooky and catch some much-needed rays after the grey – albeit mild – winter. And with springtime savings in abundance, you have a great excuse to take a little time off from work. Like this hot deal: At the Ilikai Hotel & Suites in Honolulu, Hawaii, stay for at least three nights and pay only $50 for the first night. The deal, called the "Hawaii Five-O" deal, comes from the television show by the same name: The opening shot was filmed in the hotel’s penthouse balcony. In April, rates start at $149/night for a Mountain View room and $169/night for an Ocean View room. Guests also receive 50 percent off daily valet parking.

This three-and-a-half star boutique hotel is in a prime location for sightseeing: the Hawaii Convention Center, Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, USS Arizona Memorial, and Diamond Head State Monument, as well as Waikiki Beach. The Hawaii Five-O special is available for stays through December 31, 2012. To book this package, visit the hotel's website. If the Ilikai doesn’t suite your taste or budget, check out the other Wakiki hotels who are also doing the Hawaii Five-O package.
