During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Hawaii Country Club
This public course, located in Wahiawa, is a modest course where golfers usually have no trouble getting a tee time. The 5,861-yard, par-71 course is not manicured like the resort courses, but it does offer fair play, with relatively inexpensive greens fees. Located in the middle of former sugarcane and pineapple fields, the greens and fairways tend to be a bit bumpy and there are a number of tall monkeypod and pine trees to shoot around, but the views of Pearl Harbor and Waikiki in the distance are spectacular. There are a few challenging holes, like the seventh (a 252-yard, par-4), which has a lake in the middle of the fairway and slim pickings on either side. With the wind usually blowing in your face, most golfers choose an iron to lay up short of the water and then pitch it over for par. Facilities include a driving range, practice greens, club rental pro shop, and restaurant.
Waikiki Aquarium
Do not miss this! Half of Hawaii is its underwater world; plan to spend at least 2 hours discovering it. Behold the chambered nautilus, nature's submarine and inspiration for Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You may see this tropical spiral-shelled cephalopod mollusk -- the only living one born in captivity -- any day of the week here. Its natural habitat is the deep waters of Micronesia, but aquarium director Bruce Carlson not only succeeded in trapping the pearly shell in 1,500 feet of water (by dangling chunks of raw tuna), but also managed to breed this ancient relative of the octopus. There are also plenty of other fish in this small but first-class aquarium, located on a live coral reef. The Hawaiian reef habitat features sharks, eels, a touch tank, and habitats for the endangered Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle. Recently added: a rotating biodiversity exhibit and interactive displays focusing on corals and coral reefs.
Ko Olina Golf Club
Golf Digest named this 6,867-yard, par-72 course one of "America's Top 75 Resort Courses" in 1992. The Ted Robinson-designed course has rolling fairways and elevated tee and water features. The signature hole -- the 12th, a par-3 -- has an elevated tee that sits on a rock garden with a cascading waterfall. Wait until you get to the 18th hole, where you'll see and hear water all around you -- seven pools begin on the right side of the fairway and slope down to a lake. A waterfall is on your left off the elevated green. You'll have no choice but to play the left and approach the green over the water. Book in advance; this course is crowded all the time. Facilities include a driving range, locker rooms, Jacuzzi, steam rooms, and a restaurant and bar. Lessons are available.

My review of Best Western The Plaza Hotel
terry, 2007-02-12
Had to drive all the way to Waikaki for a decent restaurant and apon getting there the parking is very limited.
Apon arrival I was assigned a room. Went to the room and my key opened the door. Entered to find a room that had not been cleaned. Went back to the check-in counter and told them the problem, they switched me to another room that had been cleaned. The second day there I went to go into my room and the key wouldn't work, went back to the check in counter and they did something to the key that would allow the door to open. Parking leaves a lot to be desired. I had to ask for extra towels. All this was happening on the 11th floor and the elevators are not the fastest in the West.

Airport is only ammenitiy close by.
The Plaza Hotel, Honolulu Airport location was a comfortable hotel and would stay again if I just need to "turn-around" and return to the airport the next day. Location is not good for Waikiki stay.
Needs restoring
Desiree, Kahului, HI, 2006-05-17
Short drive from the airport and near to a Jamba Juice, Starbucks and several good affordable restaurants.
The bathroom was run down and the bathroom door was broken on the bottom, wall paper peeling off, the shower facucet was rusty and old. There was not enough time to enjoy the pool if you checked in at 3pm because it closes at 6pm. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was not very good. The hash browns were so greasy tasting. I kept getting disconnected whenever I made a call to the front desk and the ice machine was spilling ice all over the floor!!!
ok for short stay
