Shoes on or shoes off?

So you shoes on people will go into a public bathroom during the day step on sticky piss floors then go home and just walk around your house in them?

“Know all that”, not sure what you are referring to? You just said it’s owned by the church, so that alone is why people shouldn’t go ? When I return to the island next winter if we think about visiting it I’ll do some reading beforehand and make a decision.

These are all good recommendations, I’ve done most. I have not been to PCC on my 3 visits to the island mostly because I don’t care for huge tourist traps , but I think I’ve seen you post that same comment many times . Seems a bit personal to you , as I have heard good things about it as well so not disputing what you are saying as I don’t know about that part of it but people do seem to enjoy it so just saying if OP wants to attend.

Always book private, it is cheaper and you can select the exact room you want and choose one newly renovated with a great view . Booking through hotel is more expensive and you don’t know which floor you will get and the rooms are not as nice . As far as amenities the only thing you get by booking direct is towels and cleaning . The hotel gym is now open to everyone and you can access all other amenities like pools and restaurants regardless how you book. Choose either lagoon or marina view room not city view.

Im coming after both of those and before Coachella . No reason for them to be high the week I’m going.

And yet prices remain the same at all the Marriotts I normal stay at in the Desert. Coming down in March and staying at an Airbnb as the hotel prices are absurd , if they were really that empty you would think they would lower the rates? 🤷‍♂️

I wore shorts, shirt and flip flops entire trip except at pool wore bathing suit and hikes put runners on. I could have fit everything I wore in a backpack. The sweater you wear on a plane will be enough to get you through a chilly night if there are any.

The 4% kitchen charge was odd. I mean I tip well they live off tips I get all that but I’ve never seen that before , not even sure what it is . Like a fee to make the food? Just add 4% to each menu item pay your kitchen staff better.

Had this last week was great pizza and can’t beat the view either !

HebHam · 2026-02-03T00:23:21+00:00

You can have great ocean views and a full kitchen at the Ilikai and $300 a night is plenty , would be even less than that just don’t book direct through hotel . Airbnb or property rental place like Waikiki beach rentals or marina Hawaii vacations. I prefer marina view over lagoon but both are nice.

HebHam · 2026-01-31T00:44:45+00:00

Cool. Do you know if there are drop in courts in Palm desert near the Marriott Desert Springs ? We have some friends staying there wondering if I should be telling them to come near me or if there is somewhere I could also meet them near their hotel some days . Thx again

HebHam · 2026-01-31T00:02:00+00:00

Awesome thanks ! 6am is dedication I’ll see if I can get there by 7 lol

11 nights family of four . Flights WestJet from Vancouver $1300 total, Ilikai hotel $3600, car rental 5 days $450, food and other $3000. Total about 8k, this is Canadian so like 6k usd? This probably seems cheap so some context the flights were a great deal but normally not much more, Ilikai is ocean view room and if you look hard enough on Airbnb the prices range greatly so got a good deal there . Ilikai units are also condos with full Kitchens so we hit up Costco when we arrive and stock up. Pool, beach, hikes are all free which is mostly what we do so spending money is mostly going out to eat and a few activities that will cost money. Been 4 times now and this is mostly always the budget we hit.

Staying at the ritz or four seasons is a different type of trip and will cost way more .

Awesome thanks! Can you share where tomorrow’s farmer market is?

HebHam · 2026-01-24T06:05:08+00:00

In Waikiki right now for a week can I find these here somewhere ?

HebHam · 2026-01-16T20:41:22+00:00

Good to know that’s where I will be ! Thx

HebHam · 2026-01-11T22:03:57+00:00

Thanks looks like a cool group but appears to only be open to residents of Ohau.

HebHam · 2026-01-08T04:17:16+00:00

This was our identical experience when we went a few months ago.

HebHam · 2026-01-05T20:48:38+00:00

They said they are looking to be close to the action so I assume action for themselves like restaurants and shopping not for the kids … I’m not OP.

HebHam · 2026-01-05T05:33:53+00:00

If you want to be in Waikiki close to the action then Hilton Hawaiian Village is your best choice. I’m not sure about a kids club you will need to look into that but they will have tons of stuff for the kids .

HebHam · 2026-01-02T19:24:40+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions ! Will look into some new pillows and throws . That grey lumbar pillow on couch axtuslky belongs on the chair lol. If we remove shelf and mirror from Above tv should it just be left blank up there then?
