Oahu hotel advice
 
I will begin my honeymoon in September in Oahu. Any advice on hotels? Possibly the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel or the Pacific Beach Hotel.

I would go to the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It is a wonderful resort, set on about 40 acres with 2 or 3 pools, beachfront property. Although some people have given the Ilikai a favorable review, I think Apple Vacations only rate it 3 apples and just walking around the property, the Ilikai does not come close to the Hilton!!! (Just my opinion) <BR>Congradulations on your honeymoon, my husband and I will be celebrating our 31st wedding anniversary in September and of course we will be staying at the Hilton.

yes, the hilton hawaiian villiage is wonderful.....but for a honeymoon?? i found it to be more family-oriented rather than romantic......

These two hotels remind me of Las Vegas they are so huge.<BR><BR>I'd go to the Kahala Mandarin Oriental because it's beautiful and away from (but close enough) to Waikiki. Alternatively, for a place on Waikiki Beach that is elegant, the Halekulani is considered the best hotel, followed closely by the Royal Hawaiian.

Hilton Hawaiian Village is far too large and commercialized for a romantic honeymoon hotel. Head to Maui or Kauai.
