During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Polynesian Cultural Center
Even if you never leave Hawaii, you can still experience the natural beauty and culture of the vast Pacific in a single day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, a kind of living museum of Polynesia. Here, you can see first-hand the lifestyles, songs, dance, costumes, and architecture of seven Pacific islands -- Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii -- in the re-created villages scattered throughout the 42-acre lagoon park. A new $1.1 million renovation project has re-done the front entrance and added an exhibit on the story of the Polynesian migration.You "travel" through this museum by foot or in a canoe on a man-made freshwater lagoon. Each village is "inhabited" by native students from Polynesia who attend Hawaii's Brigham Young University. The park, which is operated by the Mormon Church, also features a variety of stage shows celebrating the music, dance, history, and culture of Polynesia. There's a luau every evening. Because a visit can take up to 8 hours, it's a good idea to arrive before 2pm.Just beyond the center is the Hawaii Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is built of volcanic rock and concrete in the form of a Greek cross and includes reflecting pools, formal gardens, and royal palms. Completed in 1919, it was the first Mormon temple built outside the continental United States. An optional tour of the Temple Visitors Center, as well as neighboring Brigham Young University, Hawaii, is included in the package admission prices.
Waimea Falls Park
If you have only a day to spend on Oahu and want to see an ancient hula, sniff tropical flowers, go kayaking along the shore, hike to archaeological sites and a waterfall, and play the games of ancient Hawaii (such as spear throwing and lawn bowling), there's only one place to be: Waimea Falls Park. This is the perfect family place. You can also explore remnants of the old Hawaiian settlements in a scenic 1,800-acre river valley that's full of tropical blooms; watch authentic demonstrations of the ancient hula by the park's own halau (school); and see cliff divers swan-dive into a pool fed by a 45-foot waterfall. Other activities include riding a mountain bike, paddling a kayak, and walking along the Elehaha River into the jungle.
Lanikai Beach
This is one of the best places on Oahu to greet the sunrise. Watch the sky slowly move from pitch black to wisps of gray to burnt orange as the sun begins to rise over the two tiny offshore islands of Mokulua. Use your five senses for this experience: hear the birds sing, feel the gentle breezes on your face, taste the salt in the air, smell the ocean, and see the kaleidoscope of colors as another day dawns.
Hawaiiana Hotel
"The spirit of old Hawaii" -- the hotel's slogan says it all. The lush tropical flowers and carved tiki at the entrance on tiny Beach Walk set the tone for this intimate low-rise hotel. From the moment you arrive, you'll be embraced by the aloha spirit: At check-in, you're given a pineapple, and every morning, complimentary Kona coffee and tropical juice are served poolside. All the concrete hollow-tiled guest rooms feature kitchenettes, two beds (a double and a single or a queen and a sofa bed), and a view of the gardens and two swimming pools. Hawaiian entertainment is featured every week. The hotel is about a block from the beach and within walking distance of Waikiki shopping and nightlife.
W Honolulu
It's expensive but worth every penny to be totally pampered in a low-key, elegantly casual hotel that caters to the business traveler but takes excellent care of vacationers, too. The W Honolulu can be summed up in a nutshell by the button on your room phone that says "whatever/whenever." That's what we call service! If you're craving peace and quiet, away from the crowds of Waikiki but want to be close enough (about a 15-min. walk) to shops and restaurants, this is a perfect location. Formerly part of the Colony Surf (the adjacent, beachside condominium), this newly renovated hotel became part of the upscale W chain in 1999. You'll feel like you've entered a luxurious private world here: The hotel lobby looks like an elegant living room, and check-in occurs in the privacy of the guest rooms, which are decorated with handmade teak furniture from Bali. In addition to the large balconies with great views of Diamond Head, there are numerous excellent touches: from Hawaiian music CDs to dual-line cordless phones, plush robes, top-drawer bathroom amenities, twice-daily maid service (great to have clean towels when you return from the beach), and various business equipment available on request.Although W is not on the beach, guests still have access to the small, private beach in front of the Colony Surf (great swimming here), about a 30-second walk away; Kapiolani Park is across the street, and the Waikiki Aquarium is just a few steps away.
Hyatt Regency Waikiki
This is one of Waikiki's biggest hotels, a $100 million project sporting two 40-story towers and covering nearly an entire city block, just across the street from the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach. Some may love the location, but others will find this behemoth too big and impersonal -- you can get lost just trying to find the registration desk. The second-floor lobby is huge, decorated in koa and wrapped around an atrium that rises 40 floors from the ground level. It's filled with the squawks of parrots, tumbling waterfalls, and traffic noise from busy Kalakaua Avenue outside.The guest rooms are spacious and luxuriously furnished. But please, when room rates start at $265 a night, do they have to charge you an extra $3.25 per package of coffee for the "free coffeemaker" in your room? (Not only that, but if you want to empty your minibar to use it as a fridge, the cost is $7!) The deluxe oceanview rooms overlooking Waikiki Beach are fabulous but can be noisy (traffic on Kalakaua is constant). For a few dollars more (well, actually more than a few dollars), you can upgrade to the Regency Club floors, where the rooms are nicer (and the coffee is free); you'll also be entitled to an expedited check-in and entry to a private rooftop sun deck and Jacuzzi and the Regency Club, which has concierge service all day and serves complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon pupu.Just opened in April 2001 is the 10,000-square-foot, two-story luxury Na Ho'ola Spa, with all the massage services, body treatments, and facials you can imagine.Facilities: 7 restaurants (including an indoor/outdoor grill overlooking the ocean; a Japanese restaurant; a steak-and-seafood house; and Ciao Mein, for creative family style Chinese and Italian cuisine; 4 bars (including a very elegant poolside bar); outdoor pool with a view of Waikiki; fitness room; brand-new elegant spa; Jacuzzi; children's program (Fri-Sat year-round and daily in summer); game room; concierge; activity desk; car-rental desk; business center; large shopping arcade; salon; room service (6am-11pm); in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
