Honeymoon in Hawaii?
angie lou asked:
Does anyone know which island is best to visit in January? We want to be somewhat distanced from the busy downtown area but still want to be close enough to go and have fun. We also want to stay on an island that has a variety of activities we could participate in that will not be too expensive. Has anyone visited Hawaii in January at all and how is the weather? I have heard that it rains more on some of the islands. Any ideas would be appreciated! Also resort or hotel information if anyone has any recommendations. We will be honeymooning the week of January 15th, 2007.

I would go to Maui over all the other Islands. Owahu is too busy and a mess to get around in any month. You can not park anywhere if you drove there and the restaurants are completely packed. The big Island has very little to do, just lots of lookouts and so on. It gets boring quickly-good for one day. Maui is the place for Honeymooners. You can drive to most of the Island and there is plenty to see and do and it is not too clouded. Expect temps of 75-85 every day…..KECK

Aloha for first time Newlyweds definitely O’ahu – - – perhaps The Ihilani Spa & Resort, though it is Pricey – - – no reason why you cannot be within the bustle of Waikiki and still enjoy a quiet moment; check out The Pacific Beach Hotel, or off the beaten path but a local favorite, The Pagoda Hotel
“The 360-room Pagoda Hotel is home to the award-winning Pagoda Floating Restaurant, featuring a world-renowned koi pond and Japanese garden. The hotel is conveniently located between Waikiki and Downtown Honolulu, minutes from the Hawaii Convention Center and Ala Moana shopping district.
The Pagoda Hotel exemplifies the successful and harmonious blending of Eastern and Western cultures with Hawaiian hospitality.
Pagoda Hotel is part of the HTH Corporation hotel collection, which includes the 837-room Pacific Beach Hotel, located directly across from Waikiki Beach, and 460-room King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, located in the heart of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii”
“The 837-room Pacific Beach Hotel is located directly across from Waikiki Beach. The hotel is home to the landmark, three-story, 280,000-gallon indoor oceanarium, the dramatic backdrop for its three award-winning restaurants: Neptune’s Garden, Shogun, and Oceanarium Restaurant.
Pacific Beach Hotel is part of the HTH Corporation hotel collection, which includes the 360-room Pagoda Hotel, located minutes from the new Hawaii Convention Center, and 460-room King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, located in the heart of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii”
Have a wonderful time.
Peace

rains some during that time of year. recommend oahu (i live here) and even tho it can be crowded w/tourists, there are lots to see and do that you can get away from the city. any island you go to will be expensive, and waikiki would be costly, due to tourism. try to go visit the north shore (waves would be awesome during that time..not to swim, but for the view). lots of hiking trails. would recommend sheraton moana surf rider (beach front hotel, awesome, but kind of pricey). or pacific beach hotel is nice too.

For our honeymoon, we stayed a few days in Kauai at the Hyatt Regency in Popi’u Beach, and rented a car and drove as far each way, just sightseeing. Then we flew to Honolulu and stayed in the Hilton Hawaiian. I think they upgraded us because we were honeymooning because we ended up with a corner room with an incredible view in two directions. We didn’t bother with a car there as it’s a pain to drive and find parking. But we managed to do a lot of walking, shopping, dining.
