During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Kahuku Golf Course
This nine-hole budget golf course is a bit funky. There are no club rentals, no clubhouse, and no facilities other than a few pull carts that disappear with the first handful of golfers. But a round at this scenic oceanside course amidst the tranquillity of the North Shore is quite an experience nonetheless. Duffers will love the ease of this recreational course, and weight watchers will be happy to walk the gently sloping greens. Don't forget to bring your camera for the views (especially at holes 3, 4, 7, and 8, which are right on the ocean). No reservations are taken; tee times are first-come, first-served -- with plenty of retirees happy to sit and wait, the competition is fierce for early tee times. Bring your own clubs and call ahead to check the weather. The cost for this experience? Ten bucks!
Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park
If you have kids, you have to take them here! This 29-acre water-theme amusement park opened in spring 1999 with some $14 million in attractions. Plan to spend the day. Highlights are a football field-sized wave pool for bodysurfing, two 65-foot-high free-fall slides, two water-toboggan bullet slides, inner-tube slides, body flume slides, a continuous river for floating inner tubes, and separate pools for adults, teens, and children. In addition, there are restaurants, food carts, Hawaiian performances, and shops.
Bishop Museum Collection at the Hawaiian Arts & Culture Center at the Hilton Hawaiian Village
Now in Waikiki, this "mini" version of the Bishop Museum is just right for visitors who want to get an insider's view of Hawaiian culture but are pressed for time. Located in the Kalia Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa, the Bishop Museum at Kalia features cultural interpreters to walk you through the story of life in Waikiki from ancient times to today. Allow at least an hour (an hour and a half would be better). You can participate in a variety of interactive, hands-on-activities, like lei making, weaving cordage from coconut fibers, pounding kapa into cloth, learning the basic motions of the hula or trying your hand at playing a Hawaiian instrument like the pahu (shark skin drum), ohe hano ihu (nose flute), or uli uli (feathered gourd rattle). As you move from ancient times into the arrival of the missionaries, the royal monarchy, and into Waikiki of the 20th century (with great old surfing movies), you will be amazed at how time flies. Not to be missed!

My review of Sheraton Moana Surfrider

Anonymous, Seattle, WA

Lovely property, but expensive rooms and food. Very helpful and courteous staff. Would have been nice to have a gym on the premises, not at a different Sheraton and for a fee.

Beautiful Hotel

Kimberly, Phoenix, AZ, 2007-03-13

There are great little resturants along the beach as well as close to the hotel.

When you walk into the Sheraton Moana Surfrider, you are walking into history. It is beautifully kept, with a wonderful staff. We had a great view of the beach and enjoyed hearing the ocean at night. We have spent two anniversaries there and would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Still has the location

JAMES, Miami, FL, 2007-02-19

Rent a convertible and explore the island as Waikiki and Honolulu don't do justice to the island.

The Moana was the first hotel on Waikiki Beach and they certainly picked the best spot on the beach and central location to everything. As they say in real estate location, location, location. Service was better than expected, although Sheraton always does a good job, and staff went out of their way to make or 22nd wedding anniversary a memorable one. The hotel is showing some signs of wear. We had no problem with anything, although the bathrooms are smaller than expected. If we had any complaint it was the number of weddings (at least 3 per day)that took place during our stay. Apparently it is actually cheaper for the Japanese to fly to Hawaii and honeymoon than to have a wedding in Japan. We certainly will return.

Great Central Accomodations

Jose, Los Angeles, CA, 2007-02-18

This hotel is very central to all shopping and restaurants. You are pretty much across the street from the International Market and also have all of the upscale shops a short distance as well. As for food, I highly recommend Hula's Cafe which is right above Dukes Restaurant and there is always Keonis on Kuhio just a block North of the hotel.

The Sheraton Moana Surfrider was beautiful and extremely comfortable. Additionally, the staff was very pleasant and always willing to help out. The location of the hotel is centrally located to all of fun in Waikiki. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely book my next trip there again.

Great Location!

Rick, Los Angeles, CA, 2006-08-29

The Sheraton Moana Surfrider is a beatufiul hotel right on the beach in a centrally located part of Waikiki. We enjoyed the easy beach access and towels provided by the pool staff. There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, including the International Marketplace which contains a variety of good, affordable dining options.

Great location!

Cindy, San Diego, CA, 2006-07-25

The great location allows for some fun and easy shopping, with malls, shopping centers, boutiques, and convenience stores all within quick walking distance!

The Sheraton Moana Surfrider was a great hotel. Though the room was a little on the small side, it was very nicely decorated and clean, making it feel more cozy. The location was fantastic - right in the heart of Waikiki and on the beach. It had a wonderful restuant/bar facing the beach with a view of Diamond Head and surf classes out in the ocean. The hotel also had no shortage of sitting areas throughout, making it even more inviting. My favorite were the rocking chairs along the front of the hotel, allowing you to watch the action along the main street through Waikiki. There were also nice tables and chairs in the back, separate from the restaurant, so you could just sit and look out at the water without feeling like you had to order something!

Great hotel, but the room...

Carole, 2006-07-22

The Banyan Veranda is a wonderful place for afternoon tea or dinner. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is old Hawaii and unique on Waikiki.

I've stayed here several times before. The hotel is absolutely beautiful! I was not pleased with the room we got -- partial ocean view in the tower, but it was on the 3rd floor and had essentially a view of the hotel next door and the roof of the hotel's meeting rooms directly below. It was across from the restaurant which smelled icky, so it wasn't pleasant sitting out on the lanai.

Great location

Anonymous, Boston, MA, 2006-07-01

International Marketplace across the street is a great place to grab a quick, inexpensive meal (plus great for souvenir shopping.) This was an ideal place for our first dinner in Hawaii, upon landing in Honolulu, great choices (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino) and very wallet-friendly.

Absolutely the best location in Waikiki, right on the beach, with gorgeous views from lobby, and all restaurants/bars/cafes. Also located very close to stores, restaurants and nightlife. The beach and water were the most pristine we'd seen in Hawaii, with great surf and crystal clear water. Simply divine. Our room was in the newer Tower wing, which we chose because all rooms come with a lanai (an important feature for my husband who likes to sit out and watch the beach scene.) We had a partial view with lanai, which was pretty good. About 1/3 of view was ocean, 1/3 the Outrigger hotel across the way, and 1/3 the mountain/city view. Not bad for the money. Beds were very comfy, TV a little small (27), and we had a problem with our AC leaking. It caused a large damp spot (5'square) in the room, which remained there for our stay. We had to be careful that our towels, clothes, suitcases weren't near the area. That was the only downside, the rest was above par. The service from front desk, valet, and porters were exceptional. I would definitely stay again, and perhaps splurge for the full ocean next time. Enjoy!

Honeymooners

Kelly, Tucson, AZ, 2005-11-11

Shop across the street at the ABC stores and keep some food and drinks in your rooms little refrigorator. That save us a lot of money!

Wow...what a beautiful building. The old wooden structure, rocking chairs on the porch and the beautiful trees! We were welcomed with a cold wash cloth and some fresh squeezed juice, very nice! The beach was very busy and good poolside seating was hard to come by, but the food was wonderful and the settings were all very ellegant. For some reason the poolside staff made us feel very uncomfortable, almost unwelcome and we really wish there was a hot tub, but those few things were easy to oversee in such a beautiful place!

My review of Sheraton Moana Surfrider

Michael, Chicago, IL, 2005-10-31

The Sheriton Moana Surfrider provided a great location and ammenities. The 'Beach Bar' offered great comfort and wonderful seaside sunsets with warm ocean breezes at anytime. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever had in a hotel room. The room itself was a tad small, but we did stay in the oldest section of a hotel orfinally constructed in the early 1900's. The character of this hotel is more than supperior. I warmly look forward to my next stay.
