During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Iolani Palace
If you want to really "understand" Hawaii, this 45-minute tour is well worth the time. The Iolani Palace was built by King David Kalakaua, who spared no expense. The 4-year project, completed in 1882, cost $360,000 -- and nearly bankrupted the Hawaiian kingdom. This four-story Italian Renaissance palace was the first electrified building in Honolulu (it had electricity before the White House and Buckingham Palace). Royals lived here for 11 years, until Queen Liliuokalani was deposed and the Hawaiian monarchy fell forever, in a palace coup led by U.S. Marines on January 17, 1893, at the demand of sugar planters and missionary descendants.Cherished by latter-day royalists, the 10-room palace stands as an architectural statement of the monarchy period. Iolani attracts 100,000 visitors a year in groups of 20; everyone must don denim booties to scoot across the royal floors. Tours are either a comprehensive Grand Tour, which is 90 minutes long and covers the Palace history, the Palace grounds, and the Palace itself; or the Galleries Tour, a self-guided tour of the Palace Galleries (complete with crown jewels, the ancient feathered cloaks, the Royal china, etc.).
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.
Lyon Arboretum
The Arboretum is closed until further notice. Six-story-tall breadfruit trees . . . yellow orchids no bigger than a bus token . . . ferns with fuzzy buds as big as a human head: Lyon Arboretum is 194 budding acres of botanical wonders. A whole different world opens up to you along the self-guided 20-minute hike through the arboretum to Inspiration Point. You'll pass more than 5,000 exotic tropical plants full of birdsong in this cultivated rainforest (a University of Hawaii research facility) at the head of Manoa Valley. Guided tours for serious plant lovers are offered the first Friday and the third Wednesday of the month at 1pm and the third Saturday at 10am; call tel. 808/988-3177 for schedule and reservations.
Aston Coconut Plaza
This small hotel is an island of integrity in a sea of tourist schlock. Calling itself a "studio apartment boutique hotel," the Coconut Plaza offers perks that are rare in Waikiki, such as free continental breakfast and the kind of personalized service that only a small hotel can provide. The recently renovated property has a tropical-plantation feel, with big, airy, island-style rooms, terra-cotta tile, and lots of greenery. The bedrooms have been redone in rattan and earth tones; all have private lanais, ceramic-tile bathrooms, and daily maid service. The units with kitchenettes are especially good deals. Most rooms have views of the Ala Wai Canal and the mountains (if you prefer quiet, ask for a city-view room). Ala Wai Golf Course is just across the canal, and the beach is 4 blocks away.
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).
Radisson Waikiki Prince Kuhio
Formerly the Outrigger's Prince Kuhio, this 37-floor hotel, located just 3 blocks from the beach and a couple of blocks from the zoo, offers pleasantly appointed, midsize rooms furnished in tropical decor, with a lanai, and the all-important black-out drapes so you can sleep in. All of the rooms are the same; the floor and the view determine the price (from the 18th floor and up, the mountain views overlooking the Ala Wai Canal are spectacular, and not as pricey as the oceanview rooms).Facilities: 2 restaurants (Pacific Rim restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with great buffets and a pool/bar eatery with lunch and dinner); bar; outdoor pool; small fitness room; Jacuzzi; concierge; activity desk; small business center; shopping arcade; limited room service; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
