Kaka'ako, HI

Honolulu

Each year on Memorial Day, O'ahu hosts a beautiful event called the Lantern Floating Festival, held at Ala Moana Beach Park. If you don't mind the crowds of people, this is a moving and emotional experience. People write messages on personal lanterns and float them out to sea (not to worry, a boat with nets will catch them all so that there is no litter.) TIP: walk or bike to the event, as parking is impossible. During daytime, this beach is a great place for families and children, as there is a reef protecting the beach, which means no big waves! #beaches #lifeatexpedia

Busy part of Waikiki on the strip. Fairly old accommodations with a lumpy mattress. One small pool and hot tub area that was always crowded. Overpriced for what you’re getting.
