Where to stay in Windward Coast

With a spectacular view of Lanikai Beach below, Lanikai Pillboxes Hike is one of my favorite places on Oahu, HI. In the distance you can see The Mokes islands. The hike is pretty short, maybe a half hour to hour up to the top where there are a few pillboxes like the one in this photo. #lifeatexpedia

Lanikai

While Lanikai may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach.

While visiting Waimanalo Beach, you might make a stop by sights like Kaiona Beach Park and Waimanalo Beach.

Kalama Beach at night.

Kialua is a small town on the east coast of Oahu, well away from the crowds of Honolulu. We rented a house a few blocks from the beach and the kids played there every day.

Everything was first class. I liked that we could get beach chairs and towels for free to take to the beach. The location is perfect. If you like a large hotel on Waikiki, then for the price, this is a good one.

We had a wonderful stay. Parking is a little tight if you have a car larger than a sedan. We had a mini van. But not out of the ordinary for places in Hawaii and the host was extremely accommodating. Overall great experience.
