During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Queen Emma Summer Palace
Hanaiakamalama, the name of the country estate of Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, was once in the secluded uplands of Nuuanu Valley. These days, it's adjacent to a six-lane highway full of speeding cars that sound remarkably like surf as they zip by. This simple, seven-room New England-style house, built in 1848 and restored by the Daughters of Hawaii, is worth about an hour of your time to see the interesting blend of Victorian furniture and hallmarks of Hawaiian royalty, including feather cloaks and kahili, the feathered standards that mark the presence of alii (royalty). Other royal treasures include a canoe-shaped cradle for Queen Emma's baby, Prince Albert, who died at the age of 4. (Kauai's ultra-ritzy Princeville Resort is named for the little prince.)
Turtle Bay Resort
This North Shore resort is home to two of Hawaii's top golf courses. The 18-hole Arnold Palmer Course (formerly the Links at Kuilima) was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Turtle Bay used to be labeled a "wind tunnel"; it still is one, though the casuarina (ironwood) trees have matured and dampened the wind somewhat. But Palmer and Seay never meant for golfers to get off too easy; this is a challenging course. The front nine, with rolling terrain, only a few trees, and lots of wind, play like a British Isles course. The back nine have narrower, tree-lined fairways and water. The course circles Punahoolapa Marsh, a protected wetland for endangered Hawaiian waterfowl.Another option is the George Fazio Course -- the only one Fazio designed in Hawaii -- a par-71, 6,200-yard course. Larry Keil, pro at Turtle Bay, says that people like the Fazio course because it's more of a forgiving resort course, without the water hazards and bunkers of the more challenging Palmer course. The sixth hole has two greens so you can play the hole as a par-3 or a par-4. The toughest hole has to be the par-3, 176-yard second hole, where you tee off across a lake with the trade winds creating a mean crosswind. The most scenic hole is the seventh, where the ocean is on your left; if you're lucky, you'll see whales cavorting in the winter months. Facilities include a pro shop, driving range, putting and chipping green, and snack bar. Weekdays are best for tee times.
Dream Cruises
If you aren't lucky enough to be in Hawaii during humpback-whale season (roughly Dec-Apr), you can go dolphin-watching instead. Dream Cruises offers year-round dolphin-watching cruises that check out friendly pods of bottle-nosed and spinner dolphins near Yokahama Bay on the northern end of Oahu. This might be your only chance to get "up-close and personal" with these protected marine mammals. During whale season, the company guarantees that if you don't see whales, you can sail again for free. Departing from the Kewalo Basin is a range of cruises, including a snorkel/splash tour that anchors off Waikiki for snorkeling, swimming, and lunch; and a 2-hour sunset dinner-and-dancing cruise with views of the Waikiki skyline.
Sheraton Waikiki
Occupying two 30-story towers, this is by far the biggest of the four Sheratons on the beach. The lobby is immense and filled with shops, travel desks, and people. Not surprisingly, this hotel hosts numerous conventions; if you're not comfortable with crowds and conventioneers, book elsewhere. However, size has its advantages: The Sheraton has everything from a fabulous kids' program to historical walks and cooking demonstrations for Mom and Dad. Plus, you can "play and charge" at Waikiki's other Sheraton hotels.It's hard to get a bad room here. A whopping 1,200 units have some sort of ocean view, and 650 rooms overlook Diamond Head. Accommodations are spacious, with big lanais to take in those magnificent views. For the budget-conscious, the Sheraton Manor Annex occupies a separate adjacent wing and offers all the services and beachfront of the main hotel. The views aren't the best, and the rooms are small (two people, max) and modestly appointed (no lanai), but the price is hard to beat.Facilities: 4 restaurants (including an open-air spot for casual buffet meals and the glamorous Hanohano Room, which offers gourmet dining in a spectacular setting); 3 bars; nightclub; 2 large outdoor pools, including one of the biggest and sunniest along the Waikiki beachfront; access to Makaha Golf Club's golf and tennis facilities (about an hour away); fitness center; watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; children's program with activities ranging from catamaran sailing to nightly movies; game room; concierge; activity desk; car-rental desk; business center; shopping arcade; room service (6am-midnight); in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning (except holidays).
Halekulani
Here's the ultimate heavenly Hawaii vacation. Halekulani translates as "House Befitting Heaven" -- an apt description of this luxury resort, selected the number-one hotel on the island in 2003 by every top travel magazine and publication you can think of: Condé Nast Traveler, Travel and Leisure, Zagat's Top US Hotels, Resorts and Spas, and so on. It's spread over 5 acres of prime Waikiki beachfront in five buildings that are connected by open courtyards and lush, tropical gardens. Upon arrival, you're immediately greeted and escorted to your room, where registration is handled in comfort and privacy.There are so many things that set this luxury hotel apart from the others, the most important being the rooms: About 90% face the ocean, and they're big (averaging 620 sq. ft.), each with a separate sitting area and a large, furnished lanai. Each bathroom features a deep soaking tub, a separate glassed-in shower, and a marble basin. Last year they totally renovated the rooms and added a bedside panel to control everything in the room (lights, air-conditioning, and so on) so you don't have to get out of bed. New high-speed Internet connection was added, complimentary to guests.Other perks include complimentary tickets to any or all of the following: Ihilani Palace, Bishop Museum, Contemporary Art Museum, Honolulu Academy of Art, and the Honolulu Symphony (about $100 per person worth of art and culture). The hotel's restaurants are outstanding, and the House Without a Key is surely one of the world's most romantic spots for sunset cocktails, light meals, and entertainment. You can't find a better location on Waikiki Beach or a more luxurious hotel.Just opened is their luxury spa, SpaHalekulani, an intimate oasis of relaxation that combines healing therapies of the Pacific islands. From the elegant, understated decor to the attentive treatments (try the Polynesian Nonu, a Samoan- inspired/Hawaiian lomilomi massage with hot stones), the SpaHalekulani offers the same level of excellence seen throughout this impeccable property.Facilities: 2 superb restaurants (including award-winning neoclassic French cuisine, and an excellent seafood eatery with one of Waikiki's best views); 2 bars; gorgeous outdoor pool; recently opened SpaHalekulani with 7 treatment rooms featuring a range of healing therapies inspired by the Pacific islands; watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; children's program during the summer and at Christmas; concierge; activity desk; complete business center; salon; 24-hour room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry and dry cleaning.
Aqua Marina
If you're looking for moderate condominium accommodations within walking distance of the Hawaii Convention Center, yet in Waikiki, you might want to consider this property. This skyscraper complex, which sits back from busy Ala Moana Boulevard, is just 4 blocks from the beach and close to Ala Moana Shopping Center. The rooms were renovated in 1995; views are stunning from the upper floors. The doubles are in the Tower, whose glass elevators offer breathtaking views every time you ride up and down (but with 40 floors and only 2 elevators, the wait for an elevator can challenge your patience); each has a well-equipped kitchenette. The one-bedroom suites are in the 16-story Annex; these have a separate bedroom, living room, lanai, and kitchen. (Mobility-impaired travelers should book in the Tower, as you have to climb a flight of stairs to reach the elevator in the Annex.)There are no restaurants on site, but several are within walking distance. Hot tip for views: In the Tower, the best views are from floors 21 and above; ask for a room facing Ewa (west) for spectacular sunset views.
