That s what we re  other regions the Hale Koa hotel in Hawaii continues to be the largest single highest occupancy resort area in the United states Isaacs said. For the past 12 years the 400-plus bedroom hotel has been booked at 99 percent occupancy year round with some people putting their names on two year waiting lists.
