During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Pearl Country Club
Looking for a challenge? You'll find one at this popular public course, located just above Pearl City in Aiea. Sure, the 6,230-yard, par-72 looks harmless enough, and the views of Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial are gorgeous, but around the fifth hole, you'll start to see what you're in for. That par-5, a blind 472-yard hole, doglegs seriously to the left (with a small margin of error between the tee and the steep out-of-bounds hillside on the entire left side of the fairway). A water hazard and a forest await your next two shots. Suddenly, this nice public course becomes not so nice. Oahu residents can't get enough of it, so don't even try to get a tee time on weekends. Stick to weekdays -- Mondays are usually the best bet. Facilities include a driving range, practice greens, club rental, pro shop, and restaurant.

Diamond Head
The 360-degree view from atop Diamond Head Crater is worth the 560-foot ascent and is not to be missed. You can see all the way from the Koko Crater to Barbers Point and the Waianae Mountains. The 750-foot-tall volcano, which has become the symbol for Hawaii, is about 350,000 years old. The trail to the summit was built in 1910 to service the military installation along the crater; it's about a 30-minute hike to the top, but it's quite manageable by anyone of any age. Diamond Head has always been considered a "sacred sight" by Hawaiians. According to legend, Hi'iaka, the sister to the volcano goddess Pele, named the mountain Leahi (meaning the "brow of the ahi") when she saw the resemblance to the yellowfin tuna (called "ahi" in Hawaiian). Kamehameha the Great built a "luakini heiau" on the top where human sacrifices were made to the god of war, Ku.The name Diamond Head came into use around 1825 when a group of British sailors (some say they were slightly inebriated) found some rocks sparkling in the sun. Absolutely sure they had struck it rich, the sailors brought these "diamonds" back into Honolulu. Alas, the "diamonds" turned out to be calcite crystals. The sailors didn't become fabulously rich, but the name Diamond Head stuck.

North Shore Surf and Cultural Museum
Even if you've never set foot on a surfboard, you'll want to visit Oahu's only surf museum to learn the history of this Hawaiian sport of kings. This collection of memorabilia traces the evolution of surfboards from an enormous, weathered redwood board made in the 1930s for Turkey Love, one of Waikiki's legendary beach boys, to the modern-day equivalent -- a light, sleek, racy, foam-and-fiberglass board made for big-wave surfer Mark Foo, who drowned while surfing in California in 1994. Other items include classic 1950s surf-meet posters, 1960s surf-music album covers, old beach movie posters with Frankie Avalon and Sandra Dee, the early black-and-white photos by legendary surf photographer LeRoy Grannis, and trophies won by surfing's greatest. Curator Steve Gould is working on a new exhibit of surfing in the ancient Hawaiian culture, complete with Hawaiian artifacts.

J. W. Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa at Ko Olina Resort
When the 640-acre Ko Olina Resort community opened, some 17 miles and 25 minutes west of Honolulu Airport (and worlds away from the tourist scene of Waikiki), critics wondered who would want to stay so far from the city. Lots of people, it turns out. Ihilani ("heavenly splendor") is nestled in a quiet location between the Pacific Ocean and the first of four man-made beach lagoons. Featuring a luxury spa and fitness center, plus tennis and one of Hawaii's premier golf courses, it's a haven of relaxation and well-being. The spa alone is reason enough to come here. Treatments include thalassic treatments, Swiss showers, Vichy showers, Roman pools, and various kinds of massages. You can even have a fitness and relaxation program custom designed.Marriott took over management of the resort in late 1999. It's hard to get a bad room in the 15-story building -- some 85% of the units enjoy lagoon or ocean views. Accommodations are luxuriously appointed and spacious (680 sq. ft.) and come with huge lanais outfitted with very comfortable, cushioned teak furniture. There's even a state-of-the-art comfort-control-system panel to operate the ceiling fans, air-conditioning, lights, and so on. Luxurious marble bathrooms have deep soaking tubs, separate glass-enclosed showers, yukata robes, and many more amenities. Other extras include transportation to Waikiki and Ala Moana Shopping Center, a 3-mile coastal fitness trail, and a stretch of four white-sand beaches for ocean activities.The Ihilani's children's program puts all others to shame, offering year-round outdoor adventures and indoor learning activities for toddlers and teens alike. There's a Computer Learning Center, a 125-gallon fish tank, an evening lounge for teen-themed parties, and more.Facilities: 3 restaurants (ranging from Mediterranean-inspired cuisine on an intimate terrace overlooking the ocean to light, tropical fare at an informal poolside restaurant); 2 bars (with nightly entertainment); 2 huge outdoor pools; championship 18-hole Ko Olina Golf Course, designed by Ted Robinson; tennis club with pro shop; world-class spa with every imaginable treatment; watersports equipment rentals; excellent children's program; game room; concierge; activity desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hour room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service 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.

Magnolia at Waikiki
Hidden in the high-rise jungle of Waikiki is this two-story oasis of Waikiki of yesteryear. You enter through a wooden gate into a garden with a burbling fountain to one- and two-bedroom units (ask for number 2 -- our favorite) with all the comforts of home: huge living area with TV/VCR, CD, soft, comfy furniture, complete kitchen, separate dining area, firm beds and outside sitting areas. Lots of extras: free local phone calls, free newspaper, free parking (a rarity in Waikiki), a big Jacuzzi tub and on-site laundry faculties. The hotel is located just a short walk from the beach and from Kapiolani Park, with easy access in and out of Waikiki. This is more than just an accommodation in Waikiki, it is a home away from home.
