Long story short: both Honolulu & The Plumeria have made me very happy. I enjoyed the people I have met here in this hostel quite a lot.

Renting a scooter in Honolulu is a good idea to see more of Oahu, and taking surf lessons at Waikiki beach is a must.

Be aware that the temparutes in Honolulu can be very high, and if you cannot stand the heat without air conditioning, then The Plumeria might not be the right place for you.
