Entry from: Honolulu, United States
Entry Title: “Waikiki and Oahu”

Entry:

“The Waikiki and Oahu leg was the last segment of our 14 night trip to Hawaii. The earlier stages (Big Island and Maui) had been pretty hectic due to limited time. The Oahu stage was a little more relaxing as we had 7 nights and not that much driving to do.

We arrived from Maui Thursday June 11. Took the Roberts Shuttle into Waikiki. We got a bit of a discount as we had a group of 11 – if memory serves it cost $7 per person. Our family of 4 had rented two condos at the Aston Pacific Monarch (corner of Kuhio and Uluniu). One of the condos was rented from the management at Aston Pacific Monarch, the other direct from the owner (Steve) on vrbo.com. The link to his ad is below:

The other part of our group was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is at the very western end of Waikiki.

Accommodation:

The Pacific Monarch is probably a bit dated in parts, but the location was excellent. It is only a few minutes walk to Waikiki Beach and to the main tourist and shopping area on Kalakaua Ave. When we were researching where to stay, a lot of the condos we looked at on vrbo were located a few blocks further back along the Ala Wai C****. When we got there and figured out the layout of the area we were glad we had chosen the Pacific Monarch, as it was much closer to the beach than those options. Also we found the staff at the front desk to be excellent, very friendly and helpful.

We really liked the condo we rented from Steve on vrbo. It was a bit older and the kitchen quite small, but had a great ocean view (20th floor) and came with a PC and broadband internet connection. There was a spacious lanai (balcony) where we would often have a drink of an evening and watch the moon rise over Waikiki. We’d definitely rent this condo again if we return.

Pacific Monarch has a pool and spa on the roof of the building and also a ‘party room’ which takes up the whole floor below that and has great views. We never saw anyone using it while we were there though…

The Pacific Monarch also has a small convenience store just outside the lobby which is run by a Korean couple and was fairly reasonably priced for buying beer, wine and other items.

A short walk up Kuhio to the east there was a Food Pantry (supermarket) and in the other direction a Foodland or Safeway, can’t remember which…

Food:

There were plenty of options for eating close to the Pacific Monarch. There was a small Korean place just across the road where we would often get breakfast and lunch, a Tex-Mex place we ate at (La Cucaracha) just down the block as well as many Japanese restaurants, including a quite nice looking one just nextdoor. Generally in Hawaii we found there was a good choice of food – things like Vietnamese or Thai which we often have at home were available as well as others that we don’t see much here such as Filipino food.

One of the guys I work with in Australia visited Waikiki years ago on a football trip and was always telling me how lousy and unhealthy the food was, everything deep-fried etc. I think it must have changed since then – sure, they have most of the burger joints common on the mainland, but as I say you can get pretty much any kind of food you like. The portions are huge though – my family and friends used to call me ‘scrappy’ for finishing off the kids’ leftovers or stuff …”
