During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Makaha Resort Golf Club
This challenging course -- recently named "The Best Golf Course on Oahu" by Honolulu magazine -- sits some 45 miles west of Honolulu, in Makaha Valley. Designed by William Bell, the par-72, 7,091-yard course meanders toward the ocean before turning and heading into the valley. Sheer volcanic walls tower 1,500 feet above the course, which is surrounded by swaying palm trees and neon-bright bougainvillea; an occasional peacock will even strut across the fairways. The beauty here could make it difficult to keep your mind on the game if it weren't for the course's many challenges: 8 water hazards, 107 bunkers, and frequent brisk winds. This course is packed on weekends, so it's best to try weekdays. Facilities include a pro shop, bag storage, and snack shop.
USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park
The USS Bowfin is 1 of only 15 World War II submarines still in existence today. You can go below deck of this famous submarine -- nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger" for its successful attacks on the Japanese -- and see how the 80-man crew lived during wartime (kids love this). The Bowfin Museum has an impressive collection of submarine-related artifacts. The Waterfront Memorial honors submariners lost during World War II. Allow 3 hours to a half-day for a visit.
Bishop Museum
This forbidding, four-story Romanesque lava-rock structure (it looks like something out of a Charles Addams cartoon) holds safe the world's greatest collection of natural and cultural artifacts from Hawaii and the Pacific. It's a great rainy-day diversion; plan to spend about half a day here. The museum was founded by a Hawaiian princess, Bernice Pauahi, who collected priceless artifacts and in her will instructed her husband, Charles Reed Bishop, to establish a Hawaiian museum "to enrich and delight" the people of Hawaii. The institution is now home to Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto, the last in a proud line of adventuring archaeologists who explored more of the Pacific than Captain Cook and traced Hawaii's history and culture through its fishhooks.The Bishop is jam-packed with acquisitions -- from insect specimens and ceremonial spears to calabashes and old photos of topless hula dancers. A visit here will give you a good basis for understanding Hawaiian life and culture. You'll see the great feathered capes of kings, the last grass shack in Hawaii, preindustrial Polynesian art, even the skeleton of a 50-foot sperm whale. There are also seashells, koa-wood bowls, nose flutes, and Dr. Sinoto's major collection of fishhooks.Hula performances take place daily at 11am and 2pm, and various Hawaiian crafts, such as feather-working and quilting, are demonstrated. This daily cultural event is worth making time for. For a look at spectacular artifacts such as the ancient feather cloak of King Kamehameha and other items not shown to the general public, take the "Behind the Scenes Tour," offered weekdays at 1:30pm for an additional fee of $15.
Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel
This hotel is prized for its excellent location and decent rates. Portraits of the hotel's namesake, Princess Kaiulani, heir to the throne who died in 1899 at the age of 23, fill the large open-air lobby. Her regal, youthful face looks out on the site that was once her royal estate. A huge swimming pool sits behind a row of restaurants and shops facing Kalakaua Ave. The open-air lobby connects the three buildings of the Princess Kuiulani: the 11-story original hotel that opened in 1955, the 11-story Kaiulani wing, and the 29-story Ainahau tower, the latter two opened in 1960. The rooms, which are perfectly fine if unremarkable, have been recently renovated, and double-insulated doors with soundproofing have been added. (We wish every hotel in noisy Waikiki had this feature. The soundproofing really works: You can't hear the blaring sirens or the sound of garbage cans being emptied at 3am.) The hotel's dinner and cocktail show "Creation -- A Polynesian Odyssey" is a fun, but touristy, musical-theatrical excursion through the South Pacific. We wouldn't pay the rack rates, but it's often possible to get a good package deal here.Facilities: 4 restaurants (Mandarin, Japanese, poolside garden, international food court); 4 bars; outdoor pool; fitness room across the street at sister hotel; Jacuzzi; good children's program; concierge; activity desk; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry/dry cleaning.
New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel
This is one of Waikiki's best-kept secrets: a boutique hotel nestled right on a lovely stretch of beach at the foot of Diamond Head, with Kapiolani Park just across the street. Robert Louis Stevenson's description of Sans Souci, the beach fronting the hotel, still holds true: "If anyone desires lovely scenery, pure air, clear sea water, good food, and heavenly sunsets, I recommend him cordially to the Sans Souci." The Waikiki-side guest rooms are tiny but tastefully decorated in pale pastels; they open onto large lanais with ocean and park views. A good budget buy is the park-view studio with kitchen, for just $160 to $180. You can stock up with provisions from the on-site Mini-Mart, open until 11pm.Since the hotel overlooks Kapiolani Park, guests have easy access to activities such as golf, tennis, jogging, and bicycling; kayaking, and snorkeling are available at the beach. The hotel also arranges for visitors to climb to the top of Diamond Head. The airy lobby opens onto the alfresco Hau Tree Lanai restaurant, a delightfully romantic beachfront restaurant, set under the same banyan tree that sheltered Robert Louis Stevenson a century ago. The Miyako Restaurant offers gourmet Japanese dining with an ocean view. The beachfront Sunset Lanai Lounge is great for cocktails and has live Hawaii music at lunch on Friday.Facilities: 2 restaurants; beachfront bar; fitness room; watersports equipment rentals; concierge; activity desk; small shopping arcade; salon; limited room service (7am-8:45pm); in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning.
Ingrid's
Ingrid has impeccable taste. She's decorated this cute one-bedroom apartment in modern Japanese style that could be straight out of a magazine. The pristine white walls and cabinets are accented with such dramatic touches as black tile counters, black-and-white shoji doors, and a black Oriental screen behind a king-size bed dressed in white quilts and red, red, red throw pillows. The tiled bathroom is done in complementary gray and has a luxurious soaking tub. The kitchenette even has a dishwasher. A huge tiled deck extends out from the apartment, while a small alcove off the bedroom can house a third person or serve as a reading nook. Fresh flowers are everywhere. The apartment is located upstairs, past the Japanese garden and through a private entrance.
