"This 10-story, multiwing hotel—the tallest on Kauai since opening in 1986...superlatives include Kauai’s largest swimming pool, a sort of Greco-Roman fantasy that would fit in at Hearst Castle"

"Oahu roughly translates as “gathering place,” and with more residents and visitors than any other island in Hawaii, it makes good on that promise."

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."
Star Service
"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.
