Oahu

The island of Oahu is where I call home and the launch pad for all my travels around the world. The only palace in the United States is here and some of the biggest surfing competitions occur on the North Shore. Pair that with world class shopping at the most valuable mall in the US and you have the makings of an interesting vacation. Foodies and history buffs delight on this island and the natural beauty is only matched by the neighboring islands. Welcome to the gathering place.

Oahu Hotel Reviews

Its used to be all Waikiki for hotels but now there are other choices on the island. Don't get me wrong though, the pedigree of iconic hotels in Waikiki is long. Stay where presidents and Hollywood stars stay for a luxury experience. The family options abound and the hotels on Oahu are ready with pools and activities that will keep even the most energetic youngster entertained.
