"It’s up to you how to navigate through this 62-acre oceanfront Disneyesque golf resort, laced with fantasy pools, lagoons, and a profusion of tropical plants in between three low-rise towers."

"Over the top and swanky, this 62-acre, 1,242-room resort is located about 40 minutes from the Keahole-Kona International Airport."

For added value and special events, the annual Dolphin Days celebration (mid-June) is the best time to visit.

Go to the beach early in the day and bring your mask and flippers for superb snorkeling.

"Formerly the W Waikiki, this scenic and stylish 50-room boutique hotel is about a block from the beach and a half-mile from Waikiki's crowds."

"The former 'W' hotel has toned down its hip, cutting-edge design and ended up transformed into a classy, boutique-style destination hotel."

"This small luxury hotel at the foot of Diamond Head has light, airy rooms with Balinese furnishings."

"Anchoring the south end of Waikiki (a five-minute stroll from the action), adjacent to tony Sans Souci Beach, this establishment is next to the more conservative but superior New Otani."

Filtered views of the beach are the best you can ask for here, but it’s the Diamondhead vistas that get people’s attention.
