We are headed to Oahu on Sunday, Aug 21 for 2 weeks of fun in the sun! Great recommendations! Thanks for posting.

If you're in Waikiki, check out the Royal Hawaiian. Beautiful building and grounds. The Mai Tai Bar is on the beach and seems to have gotten lots of good reviews. We found it acceptable. There are a few interesting displays with old photos, clothing, etc. from the hotel's early days. They are off the lobby, closer to the back, the beach side.

There's also a park a little down the road to the East, right on the beach that seemed to have live music and hula every night at sundown. Even live outdoor music around a pond in front of the Royal Hawaiian on the main street.

If you snorkel, don't miss out on Hanauma Bay.

Have fun!
