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

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." Full review

"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." Full review

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

"As Waikiki's first hotel, the 1901 plantation-style oceanfront Moana Surfrider offers a dose of historic charm on one of the nicest -- albeit most congested -- stretches of Waikiki Beach." Full review

"The hotel's selling point is the historic main building: non-guests as well as guests are free to sit on the nostalgic, front-porch rocking chairs." Full review
