Have to disagree on the boat assessment. Wife and I went with the zodiac inflatable boat with Capt Andy’s and despite how aggressive they drive them, we never felt sea sickness (and I’m prone to it). My brother and his wife had to do a catamaran because their player 3 was too young for the zodiac. They all felt sea sickness most of the ride. The zodiac also zips into some dark caves that you can’t get into otherwise. Stayed one night at the Grand Hyatt during our one week trip and really enjoyed the property. Made for a great way of relaxing after the long flights to get there. Then we switched to an Airbnb the rest of the week which worked great since we were out most of the day exploring. Definitely felt like the Grand Hyatt was nice value but I would love to try out 1 Hotel in Hanalei Bay.

Good to know! It looked like everyone on the zodiacs were having fun as well haha. We (luckily) only had 1 seasick person. Will try to convince Mandy on the zodiacs next time haha :)

Most expensive place we’ve stayed in Waikiki is the Hyatt Regency - older but very clean and friendly staff. We haven’t been in years; our budget can’t keep up with Hawaii prices. Some day… 🤔

In Waikiki I normally stay at Halekulani. The Ka La'i, formerly the Trump Waikiki is just not good. The pool is horrible, completely non-functional. Might be great for Instagram selfies, but not for anything useful. The dining choices are awful. Twice you swept over the Embassy Suites next door and their great pool area. I'd much rather stay there and use or get Hilton points than Ka La'i.

…the issue was the change to the Wakea Waikiki Beach and the use of Wākea being a cultural appropriation. You don’t want anything with Trump’s name - it’s toxic.

Thanks a lot for your review. As locals, we are often asked for hotel recommendations but honestly we know the least because we never stay at hotels on Oahu except for the occasional staycation (we usually stay in Ko Olina and not Waikiki). This is a very nice property that includes a very nice kitchen or kitchenette setup and that can make a big difference. Plus it has the washer/dryer inside the room which are not easy to find in Waikiki. At $567 per night, I think you did very well because you got so much value for the buck. Large suite, early check in, room upgrade, free breakfast, $100 credit, and 4 pm late checkout at that price was a great deal. I will definitely recommend this place if asked. It looks like you had a great stay in Hawaii.

@@SebbyFung Blue "Hotel Collection" vs. Silver FHR Collection. They're color coded on the FHR website. The benefits do not overlap. You don't get silver benefits for a blue location.
@SebbyFung 3 күн бұрын
Got it. "Silver" is FHR. "Blue" is Hotel Collection (HC). Silver/FHR are usually 5 star hotels. Blue/HC are usually 4 star hotels. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely a notch below. FHR = more expensive, min 1 night, more perks HC = less expensive (but can still be $$$), min 2 nights, less perks i.e., for NYC, Ritz-Carlton is FHR, JW Marriott is HC.

They don’t have tv screens or “entertainment systems” cause everyone uses their own personal devices now, so it’s much more efficient and better for the passenger to just their iPad or iPhone to watch movies, so if you go to the WiFi you can watch all the same movies and see your flight live just like any other screen on your seat.

I would argue that's still a disadvantage though and worth mentioning if you're comparing F products from US to Hawaii. Especially when a lot of competitors have it (i.e., UA 777, HA 787, etc.)
