Condo or hotel accomodation

We are a family of 4 including our adult sons. Any suggestions on best type of accomodation? We want beach front and enough room for the of us. Are we best with a condo rather tha hotel? Where to start? The choice seems enormous. We like 4 star type accomodation.



Ay suggestions.



Condo or hotel accomodation


Do you want to stay in Waikiki? Or somewhere else on Oahu?





In Waikiki there aren%26#39;t all that many hotels that are actually beachFRONT, so that will narrow down your search quite a bit.

How much are you intendin gto spend per night ? In Waikiki most beach front properties are hotels and they can be pricey. You may have trouble getting all 4 of you into a hotel room - most have 2 double beds.




I think we will stick with Waikiki as we only have 3 days. If absolute beachfront is too difficult what isthe next best thing. I imagine paying about 400 a night.




The Resortquest Waikiki Beach Tower is right across the street from the beach - nice condos with full maid service, etc. You can get a large 2 bedroom for your price range. We loved it there, but I%26#39;m not sure I%26#39;d call it ';4 star'; hotel quality. It%26#39;s a condo, so different experience.





You should also be able to find something at the Waikiki Shore (also a condo) for that price, but can%26#39;t recommend personally as I haven%26#39;t stayed there.





Good luck,

Lots of info:

There are a couple of links to maps of Waikiki hotels %26amp; condos on the thread.





Also:





www.visit-oahu.com Free brochure. There are over 400 websites for lodging, restaurants, attractions in the brochure %26amp; on the site. Click on: OVB Yellow Pages.




We stayed at Outrigger Waikiki Shore Condos. Book thru Outrigger and you can use the pool at the Reef next door. Right on the beach. We enjoyed it very much. (This can also be booked thru Castle but then you can%26#39;t use the pool and I have read reviews where the people were not as happy and the ones that booked thru Outrigger.)





BIG TIP! Use the Entertainment Book and you can get the travel club 50% discount.





I have also seen listings for this condo on www.vrbo.com so I would check that out also.





Have a great time. We went with our two adult children. Booked a two bedroom, one bath.
