Users foundthe following review helpful: Location Location Location by Todd Crosby from Seattle 12/01/04 Overall: The best hotel in Waikiki for the price. 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!

Coming Soon Aqua BAMBOO HOTEL, Waikiki The Aqua Bamboo Hotel is recently renovated from the former Marc Hotel . The address is 2425 Kuhio Ave ., local telephone 808-922-7777 . The Bamboo's lobby [with large plasma screen TV] and pool area are very lovely, and in our room there are a lot of great features, including custom designed furniture, crown moldings, quality carpet, glass brick shower stall, a double sink curved vanity, slatted wood bathroom ceiling. With an "official" summer rate of $145 for the VERY spacious room [ significantly cheaper on the internet ], it includes a kitchenette without a microwave, a sitting area with TV, sofa and desk, a separate bedroom that is behind a louvered wood shutter wall, three sliding glass doors for great ventilation, a lanai, and the room is located high enough above the street not to be too noisy. The problems here were just cosmetic, but I filled out an opinion form my third day, and the problems were fixed, so high marks go to the Bamboo for quick response. The rooms are a very good value, tastefully decorated in a kind of Metropolitan Home magazine sort of modern Asian theme, and for my needs [computer, photo equipment, paperwork, my need to cook], just about perfect.

Many people wonder if they'll "need" to rent a car on Oahu. Even though TheBus circles the island for a ridiculously low fare, you won't have access to all the side roads and back roads along the way. The cost of renting a car is so low, especially considering all the money you've already spent to get here, it makes no sense to not rent a car for at least a day. That's why we call our guides Driving & Discovering Hawaii books!

Hawaiian Quilting - LoveToKnow Crafts Log in Hawaiian Quilting From LoveToKnow Crafts Hawaiian quilting is a distinctive art form using brightly colored fabrics and elaborate stitching. They often incorporate images of indigenous flowers and plants, and are truly stunning masterpieces of fabric and thread. "/wiki/Image:Callalilypillow200.jpg" class="image" title="Hawaiian Quilt" Table of contents 1 History of Hawaiian quilts 2 Hawaiian sensibility in quilting 3 Making your own Hawaiian quilt 4 Related articles "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=1" title="Hawaiian Quilting" History of Hawaiian quilts According to ( http://www.quiltshawaii.com/tradition.html ) , quilts evolved as an art form in Hawaii rather than a necessity, because the climate is mild. Hawaiian quilting really is different from other types of quilting in three basic ways: Whole pieces of cloth are used for the designs, instead of pieces like other quilts. Only two colors of fabric are used. The motif is cut using the “snowflake” method. The design motif is echoed in the quilting. Missionaries to the islands introduced quilting to the native women. Because they didn’t have scraps of fabric lying around (since indigenous clothing often consisted of wraps made of whole cloth) they developed their own methods of quilt design. Missionaries also influenced the way Hawaiian quilts are cut. The design part of the quilt is cut out in the same way that a child would make a paper snowflake. The fabric is folded several times and cut along the edge, ensuring that all sides of the design are symmetrical. "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=2" title="Hawaiian Quilting" Hawaiian sensibility in quilting In addition to having a different reason to make quilts, Hawaiians also tend to have a different attitude about making quilts. Not merely a utilitarian item, Hawaiian quilts reflect the beauty of the world around the quilters. A beautiful, well-balanced design was considered a gift, and the spirit of the person who made the quilt was said to live on in her work. Thus quilts were often destroyed when the quiltmaker died so her soul could be at peace. Because of this, and the salty, humid environment of the islands, many old Hawaiian quilts are no longer in existence. Those quilts that still exist often are kept within a family and not often seen by outsiders. It is a recent occurrence that Hawaiian quilting has been openly taught and shared. "/w/index.php?title=Hawaiian_Quilting&action=edit&section=3" title="Hawaiian Quilting" Making your own Hawaiian quilt If you don’t have the luxury of going to Hawaii and taking a quilting class from a master at the craft, don’t worry. You can find a treasure trove of information about the craft on the Internet. Here are some good resources. ( http://www.quiltshawaii.com/howtosub.html ) has a good tutorial and video about Hawaiian quilting. ( http://www.nvo.com/poakalani/files/ ) has instructions for Hawaiian quilts, as well as tips, hints and instructions for cutting out your pattern. If you’re ever in Honolulu, this is the place to take quilting classes or see a demonstration, as well. ( http://members.tripod.com/~Honu_Hale/ ) has a lengthy tutorial on Hawaiian quilting, and includes patterns that you can buy. ( http://www.quilthawaiian.com/hawaiianquilting.htm ) offers all sorts of tips and instructions on Hawaiian quilting, including such good information as how to avoid fraying when working on your appliqué. Hawaiian quilts are like a living art form. Each quilt is unique and carries the spirit and emotions of the person who designed and made the quilt. The spirit of generosity and attitude toward life found in Hawaiian quilts and their quilters is something that quilters everywhere and in every style can adapt to their own quilting projects. Remember to quilt with your heart, and put something of yourself into every project you do, and you will be quilting in Hawaiian spirit, if not Hawaiian style.
