It is priced like hotels on the canal but it is 1/2 block off the most prime spot on Waikiki beach, 1 block from the Royal Hawaiian. Everything is walking distance, shopping, best restaraunts, etc. But shhhh. It's also the best kept secret. You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 6 of6 Yahoo!

The suite was very clean and very spacious. We liked the two minute walk to the beach and the awesome valet parking. The full kitchen is perfect for making breakfast, preparing lunch for the beach or just making a fresh pot of coffee. The staff was very nice and I highly recommend this resort/hotel for families.

The pool is wonderful for laps or playing and there is a secluded hot tub. On the bottom floor, there is a ABC store that carries everything you need or forgot to bring. Very close to lots of restaurants and lovely walks along the beach or around shopping areas. Across from beach hotels, easy access to beaches. Owners lounge has internet access, big screen television, pool table, fitness room for ladies and men, etc. You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 6 of7 Yahoo!

User from Las Vegas, Iowa, South Dakota, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee 02/27/05 Overall: Service Cleanliness Location Value PROS: Within walking distance to everything in Waikiki CONS: Can't see ocean very well out the windows. We have stayed at this same place 4 times in the last 15 years and are headed back again next week. We love it. The pool on the top of the hotel is wonderful if you don't want to fight the sand, but you are only across the street and between the large beachfront hotels from Waikiki Beach. Great location for walking to anywhere downtown Waikiki and the bus stop is only about 3 blocks away. We LOVE IT THERE! We started going in 1989 with 14 family members and this year there will be 29 of us. What a great family vacation! You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 5 of5 Yahoo!

We've stayed at a lot of timeshares in our life and this was one of the best. The only dislike was the traffic noise, other than that there was nothing more I could ask for.

User from Louisville,Kentucky 06/07/05 Overall: Service Cleanliness Location Value Last Visit: June 2005 Great for: Families, Singles, Students, Business, Beds, Pool, Spa, Internet Connection, Romance, Luxury, Hip/Trendy Scene, Nightlife The people at the Imperial are the best you will find anywhere. Everyone from the valets to housekeeping to the management staff do everything they can to make your stay the most enjoyable vacation of your life. The hotel is always spotless inside and out with every attention paid to detail. Being just across the street from the beach and one block away from the best shopping in the U.S. makes the Imperials location A-1. The pictures on this site does not do the hotel justice. It is a very nice place with beautiful rooms, full gym with a private workout area for women who prefer privacy, 3 jacusies, his and her saunas, and a georgious view from the rooftop pool. As I said my famile will only stay at the Imperial when we are in Hawaii. Enjoy your vacation! You did not find this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 2 of4 Yahoo! Users foundthe following review helpful: Don't Stay Here!!! by monakayk 10/09/05 Overall: Service Cleanliness Location Value Last Visit: October 2005 The Imperial Hawaii Resort is the worst and dumpiest hotel I have ever stayed in! Usually we stay in moderate priced hotels such as: Comfort Inns but we do expect clean-nice rooms. We stayed in the 'PALM SUITE' price range $258-$271. This so called suite had one bedroom, which hardly had room enough to get around the bed from one side to the other. There was no dresser in the bedroom...the TV had to be mounted on the wall. The bathroom adjoining the bedroom was so small that only one person could be in there at a time. I could've washed my hands, used the toilet and washed my feet in the shower (no tub) at the same time if I wanted too--that is how small it was. The sink--had no counter area at all to it, therefore I had to place toiletries items on top of the toilet tank! There was only room for a glass near the sink which we placed our toothbrushes in. In the living room there was a pull-down double bed, and small. Also in the living room was a small dinning table that was virtually useless because when the bed was pulled down we had to shove the table up to the window just to make room for the bed. The coffee table had to be slide up to the couch to make room to walk around the bed when it was pulled down. The 'full kitchen' was a joke at this price range. There was a very small microwave, a mini refrigerator that bearly had room for a few items. There was a stove with an oven on top of it that dated back to the early 70's and didn't work well! A coffee maker but no coffee,etc was provided. As for cleaniless....we had to call housekeeping the minute we got into our suite because both bathrooms had mildrew on the tiles! Housekeeping did show up later that evening while we were at dinner and 'tried' to clean it...but there still remained mildew on many of the tiles throughout our stay. Mainly due to the fact that these bathrooms had not been cleaned properly in years and not renovated at all since the 70's when it was first built, therefore the mildew was so embedded in the grout of the tiles...it would not come out! The maid service here was only once in 7 days....therefore we only received clean towels once or we could personally go down to housekeeping and get more on our own! Remember...this is a 'resort' suite and with a price range of almost $300 a night and we had to get our own towels. Even when we called housekeeping and asked for more..they refused to bring them to us. The floors were only vacuumed once in 7 days. The linens on the beds were never changed in 7 days and the bed in the bedroom was only made up once. The pull-down bed was never made up or linens changed at all in 7 days! The bathrooms were only cleaned once in 7 days...other than the extra cleaning we got because of our complaint of the mildew on the tiles our first day, which the bathrooms should've been cleaned properly to begin with before we checked into the suite! The walk to the beach was short...but the beach was the worst I have ever been to with major hotels right on it and located on Waikiki. The sand (if you call it that) going into the ocean was full of large rocks--not pebbles--but ROCKS! So large in fact that if I wasn't careful walking into the ocean...I could've turned my ankle. So needless to say, we did not swim at this beach...but ended up walking down quite a ways to a better beach. So much for a close beach area to our hotel---NOT! The pool area was not much better. There was no view of the ocean but out one window. There is a huge, tall brick wall all around the pool area due to the fact it is located on the roof of the building. I felt very closed in...even though I was totally outside and on top of a building! Do NOT stay here. It is a DUMP!!! You have found this review helpful.( Report Problem ) 0 of1 Yahoo!

It was originally named Laeahi by the ancient Hawaiians. The name meant "brow of the tuna" and looking at the silhouette of the crater from Waikiki, you can see the resemblance. The current name came was given to the crater by British sailors in the 1800's. When they first saw the crater at a great distance, the calcite crystals in the lava rock appeared to glimmer in the sunlight. The sailors mistakenly thought there must be diamonds in the soil. Diamond Head is a crater that has been extinct for 150,000 years. The crater is 3,520 feet in diameter with a 760-foot summit. When the United States annexed Hawaii in 1898, harbor defense became a main responsibility. One of the major defense forts, Fort Ruger, occupied the Diamond Head Crater. A battery of canons was located within the crater providing complete concealment and protection from invading enemies. An observation deck was constructed at the summit in 1910 to provide target sighting and a four level underground complex was built within the walls of the crater as a command post. A 580-foot tunnel was dug through the crater wall to provide easier access to the Fort. The observation deck and underground complex is now abandoned with the advent of radar but evidence of the command post is still present along Diamond Head Trail. The trail is paved almost the entire way but can be steep in spots. There are two sets of stairs, one with 99 steps and the other, 76 steps. There is also a 225-foot unlit tunnel. The hike is classified as easy to moderate in exertion but is certainly worth the breathtaking, unparalleled view of the entire west side of the island, from Waikiki to Koki Head.

Pictures of Hawaii - Oceania photos - stock photography and fine art prints terragalleria.com · the photography of QT Luong Advanced Search Home / Oceania /Hawaii Map Hawaii [ Oahu ] [ Hawaii - Big Island ] [ Maui ] [ Kauai ] The six islands of Hawaii form the 50th state of the USA. Hawaii is one of the world's most popular destinations, offering the quintessential vacation thanks to the combination of varied tropical natural beauty, great weather, warm water, and the amenities of a USA state. The Hawaiian Islands are a group of volcanos that have risen up over a "hot spot" of molten rock that wells up from deep in the earth's interior. As the ocean floor slowly moves over this spot, islands are born. They are then carried towards the northwest. The chain of Hawaiian islands were formed in the order: Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Hawaii. Because of this age difference, each of the Hawaiian islands exhibits a distinct character. The younger island, Hawaii, has the highest summit and active volcanic features, but relatively smooth topology, like all the islands had when they rose out of the sea. Much of it is relatively arid and covered in bare lava fields. The oldest island, Kauai, has dramatic scenery formed by erosion, and the lushest vegetation. The other Hawaiian islands are in between, with Oahu having more fluted eroded mountains than Maui, where the dormant crater is younger and higher, and could still spring back to life.
