PLEASEREAD the details below before booking your room as this hotel complex can be a bit confusing -- but more than worth the confusion. It's truly an incredible place with fabulous negotiated rates.
* Rooms must be booked for a minimum of 3 nights (hotel policy) * To book your room, after selecting the Reservations link, you will want to select the "Book" Tab * Please make sure that you select the correct hotel from the drop-down menu for your desired accommodation (hotel details and recommendations below) * If you require an elevator, please select Grand or Maya, or you may request the First Floor at the other hotels (which have a maximum of three floors) * Please note that when you receive the room rate it will be the TOTAL for your stay -- that is NOT the daily rate -- that is the TOTAL cost for ALL days you have reserved * The Check In Date defaults to 02/02/2025. Make sure to change the check-in to the appropriate date - 04/02/2025 (February 4, 2025- reservation dates are listed as Day/Month/Year). You can make your reservation for 3 or 4 nights. Although we are allowed group rates 3 days prior and post - sometimes it doesn't work on their system and it will state "Hotel not available". Do not fret, they should have rooms, but it may require an email request. (they are in the process of updating their systems - but that can take awhile). Simply book the room for the nights that are available (probably 04/02/2025 - 08/02/2025) and send an email to groupreservations.mx@iberostar.com requesting the additional nights to be added to your reservation. Feel free to copy ozlem@cmevacations.com on the additional room request.

Get ready for a yearly tradition
If you aren't using your CME money for a conference to Hawaii, you're doing it wrong. This CME course was concise. Jam packed with updates from peer reviewed articles. Things we see everyday as physicians. The best part, you are done before lunch. Just in time for your significant other to have woken up and gotten themselves ready for the day. You have the rest of the day to explore the island, go shopping, relax on the beach, etc. Get a rental car so you can drive to North Shore and explore the beaches. There is a Shave ice shop called Haleiwa Town Shave Ice in the basement of a shopping center that we liked the best (natural cherry was my favorite flavor).
Tip: If you are a Hyatt loyalist and want to earn Hyatt points with CME money, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki is less than a 10 minute walk from from the hotel. That is where we are going to stay next year.
Great update on outpatient medicine with very relevant topics and practical for clinical use. Location chosen for the conference is fantastic as well, Waikiki was a great area to be in for my first time in Hawaii. 5/5 would recommend.
Great conference! So refreshing to have speakers present from primary care providers’ perspective. Topics are presented in very concise format. Location is perfect. Event is organized and run by the most professional and supportive staff, kudos to Ms Carlson, excellent communication from beginning to end.
Knowledgeable and Practical presenters! Helpful contents and new updates.
Perfect location for you and your family to relax and explore after CME sessions.
Practical CME to refresh your knowledge back to post residency level!!
Great practical and up to date CME! Company is designed to work for you, help to enjoy vacation and update you on most relevant and practical points on your practice in medicine. They reviewed the latest data and updates you ! Thank you!!! Will be back next year!
Fantastic primary care update. Thoroughly enjoyed my trip out here, they even gave tips on things to do while in Hawaii. I will definitely utilize this service again!
I could not be more pleased with CME vacations. The San Diego conference was a great location with lots of activities within walking distance. Evelyn and Alan are great presenters and gave us up-to-date information in an easy to understand format.
