We had a blast in Waikiki! Phillip is a great communicator and made helpful reccomendations. This room in the Luana is the BEST way to go! The Luana is a really lovely boutique hotel and the staff there don't really discriminate against renters of private rooms. Everyone is hospitable and very professional. We were the firsts guest to have the privilege of using the room since the lanai was upgraded/updated with glass , new doors, partitions and rails and the stylishness was most appreciated. It is quite apparent that building and association management is always keeping up on trends (and that is not always the case elsewhere in Honolulu).
Phil accomodated our needs graciously. The room is complete and well-appointed.
We found a very inexpensive souvenir shop tucked under a nearby business/hotel and bought souvenirs more cheaply than you could at Walmart. There is a delicious Thai restaurant also on the north side of the park. See if you can find the Mango tree in the northwest corner of the park. The mangoes are the most delicious I ever had!
I need to find out where Phil got his bed linens. They were absolutely luxurious! If we come back to Waikiki, we eill certainly look up Phil again!
