Stayed on Oahu for oue last 3 days of an 11 day trip. 1st 11 days were on Maui (see that TR on Maui Forum) Stayed at the Hilton Hawaiin Village as we like this property. Stayed in the Alii Tower (got upgraded to a suite) Like the private pool and padded lounge chairs and the seperate check in at this tower and these small things make it worthwhile. Resort and Hawaii in general was not nearly as crowded this year due to economy...no waits in most restaurants etc. Went down ro Jimmy Buffets in the Beachcomber one night to eat. OMG....do not order dinner if you get the nacho appetizer. Wife and I ordered nachos and also pasta and a sandwich. When nachos came out we immediately cancelled our dinners. It was HUGE and the best we ever had. Lots of toppings ALL the way through and enough for 4 people. In fact we only finished about 40% of it and were stuffed. So folks...BEWARE. Our last night for dinner was at the Ocean House in the Outrigger. Waited for an oceanside table but also suggest reservations for dinner here which we did. Walk ups were told one hour wait. Hilton Hawaiian Village beach restaurant was supposed to open May 1st and looks nice. We always enjoy a 2-3 day stay on Oahu at end of out trip. We have stayed out at KO Olina and also Turtle Bay to get out of the Honolulu rat race. We can never figur out why people stay all week in Honolulu as it is really crowded and not true Hawaii. That being said, I guess if you have small children it give them some entertainment. Hawaii is beautiful wherever you stay......now if they could judt do something about the jet lag......
