The total, before you go

$2,602 for two · 5 nights · flights, hotel, taxes, fees & the resort fee

Flights $1,512 + hotel $937 + resort fee $153, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $160

United · with a stop · 15h 29m

The catch: United flies with 2 stops and takes 15h 29m on the way out, and a checked bag is about $160 for two, not in the total.

Worth it if a two-stop, 15h 29m flight is fine for a volcano-and-snorkel week; skip it if you need a nonstop.
