"Just wanted to say that my girlfriend and I are about to go on our first trip to Oahu and we have found your book to be an amazing guide. I have read several other books doing research for our trip and your book is awesome. We love your honesty and have made reservations with several of the activities companies and restaurants listed in your book. The maps are wonderful and we enjoyed your writing style as well :). Ok, just wanted to say super book, it has been a great help in planning our trip and will be a great help to us on the island."

New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel
(800) 356-8264 or (808) 923-1555
2863 Kalakaua Ave.

124 rooms, 2 restaurants, conference room, hi-speed Internet access in rooms, valet parking, fitness room, coffee makers on request, room service. Two buildings of 9 and 3 stories (the latter Diamond Head wing has no elevator). Their oceanfront category rooms are extremely intimate with the beach--look straight down onto the sand--and since the tallest room is 9 stories up, you'll never feel completely detached. This is the reason for the gem. It's on lovely Sans Souci Beach. Though still expensive, you won't get rooms like that for this kind of price in more centrally located Waikiki resorts. And there's the reason for the lower prices--it's a fairly long walk to the heart of Waikiki, and many will opt to drive and pay to park. But you're also away from the high energy of Waikiki. This is a smaller, quieter resort than others you'll find on the beach. Rooms aren't particularly Hawaiian in their decor, but they're simple and clean, and if you have an oceanfront room, you won't even notice the furnishings. Their services have some nice touches like a fresh pineapple welcome and an orchid with your turn-down service, and the staff is excellent. Their Hau Tree Lanai restaurant is a great (if extremely pricey) place to have your breakfast on the beach. Parking is $15 (valet only). Rooms (202-395 sq. ft.) are $160-$395, suites (395-838 sq. ft.) are $480-$1,280. Most rooms are discounted.
