Colorful varieties of flavors and colors of shaved ice, hurry to finish before it melts, the portions are huge. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
This grandiose white-walled hotel was designed by the architect Oliver Traphagen in the old colonial style and opened in 1901, signifying the birth of the Hawai’ian tourism industry. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Check out the second floor- main building - to learn about the history of the hotel and the surfers!
This is the first hotel to open on Waikiki Beach back in 1901. This is without a doubt the classiest hotel in Waikiki with a rich history. The architecture displays true Hawaiian style.
Best pool facility in the area: infinity pool filled with floating beanbag chairs. Unbeatable.
Loved the island ambiance, great experience with the hostess, our waitress, and the manager. Good lunch spot right on Waikiki beach!
Some of the main highlights of this award-winning hotel are the rooms with ocean/partial ocean views and city views, as well as excellent restaurants Duke's Waikiki Restaurant and Chuck's Steak House.
I recommend you try to get a Ocean View room and at least 6 floors up in order to have a quiet night's rest. This way you're not facing the Waikiki strip and not close to the loud music.
Great coffee, great pastries. Relax and enjoy the surroundings at one if their tables.
Go to the Natural Hawaiian, past the fish pond/waterfall and get some fresh pineapple!
Centrally located market in Waikiki where you can get the typical tourist junk and the usual souvenirs. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
Grab a towel, drink & your camera! Sit & watch the surfers catch big waves around 5ish behind the pool area, starting at the bay that feeds out into the ocean.
Must do the fruit market a couple blocks north. Really cheap fruit just picked from the on site farm. Also great lunch meals.
Find a set of restrooms and a bar at the beach to the right of the main hotel bldg which would be to the left of this pic ;)
Nicest rooms I've ever stayed in on Oahu (better than a corner Hilton room and the Outrigger Reef), but the dining here is a step below.Ola is overpriced for what you get, but the view is to die for!
you have got to go on the kayak tour and explore the WWII Bunker...soooo interesting!
Stay away from main building. Get a beachfront cottage. Comes w/ butler at not much more $.
Be sure to ask for a room with the larger balcony. The room category and cost is the same.
Excellent resort, away from it all & in the middle of the Hawaii I wanted to know.
Went on vrbo.com and got a amazing rental villa for way less! My husband and I had an amazing time on our honeymoon.
