Reviewing all the Hotels, Flights, Things to Do, and Restaurants in Hawaii, one at a time. I live on Oahu and keep my finger on the pulse of hotels, airlines, and restaurants. I want to share with you my passion for travel and my love for hotels. There is nothing like seeing your hotel in the distance and the feeling of excitement upon arrival. Walking through the lobby on a sunny summer day or a blustery winter evening, it's a feeling you can't get anywhere else. Hearing the chatter of conversation with that tinge of excitement and maybe spoken in languages you don't understand. Checking in, opening the door to your suite....Join me as I share my tips on hotels and guides for locations around the world, not just Hawaii. See you in the lobby.

No showers is a deal breaker.
That might be true but I could never afford to stay there.
It's a Marriott Property so consider getting a Marriott credit card, use it responsibly, and generate points for purchases. When you have enough redeem for a stay at the Royal Hawaiian.
... andyou bought the meal? Asking because my upcoming DFW-HNL flight says "Meal: Snack"
This meal was included, not purchased.
They had blankets and pillows in Premium Economy? Just want to make sure that the videos showing the blankets and pillows weren't re-used from an international flight and were indeed from the DFW-HNL flight.
Yes, they had blankets and a pillow for the flight along with the amenity kit.
7:27 out there in those mountains is Tripler Hospital you probly could not see from your airline seat in this video.
Can you use the Sheraton pool if staying at Moana and vice versa?
Great video thanks good job 🎉 Made reservations for March 2024…….❤🎉🙋♂️🌊
@@stehenjones801 nice! Enjoy your stay 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Really appreciate your honest opinion!! Truly helps!!😊
Great video, beautiful property, my vote for best mai tai goes to monkeypod
We had a girls trip here this past October to celebrate my 50th birthday. This place was phenomenal, the service was TOP NOTCH!! We had sunrise views that had us up and early every single day, because they were too beautiful to miss a second of!! The full kitchen was wonderful to have and the master tub was a delight!! I wish the sundeck was larger but was satisfied, especially with this property being so centrally located in that luxury area of Waikiki. Im excited for Hilton to make its own mark of the building!!! (I would have never, ever stayed their with a certain someone's name on the sign!!!) Wonderful views overlooking the fort. (VERY BEST Mai Tai...House/Earl without a key!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Happy New Year😊
Yes service was top shelf! House Without A Key, Mai Tais and Coconut Cake all day. My 3 tops Mai Tai spots are Lewers Lounge near La Mer, upstairs, Mai Tai bar at Royal Hawaiian, and Green Lady Cocktail Room
This was such an excellent review. I watched it with my sister and we both agree that your hotel reviews are next level! We enjoy them very much! I’m not sure where the best Mai Tai can be located but I can tell you where the worst ones are… every luau on the Hawaiian islands! 😁 Btw, we think you are a hidden gem worthy of a million subbies. We hope you never stop vlogging. It’s -31 C in cold Canada right now and we look so forward to when you upload content!
A huge Mahalo! To both of you 🤙🏼 I love doing these reviews and will keep plugging along. Yikes! Too cold for me in Canada 🥶
J’ai été à Los-Angeles en juin 2024 dans le quartier de downtown j’étais au courant de cette histoire avant d’y aller et il y a énormément de crack head et de personnes dangereuses dans Los-Angeles la thèse du su*c*de je ne pense pas que ça soit la bonne…
I’ve stayed in both the Moana is by far my choice
Yes, i have flown on this aircraft!!! I flew on the inaugural flight and it was AMAZING!
Awesome! I love the 787
I know this bathroom is.
At 2:59 I’m going on a hike. Good idea😂
I love the Hawaii so much!
Great video. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, ssues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go?

Very basic, there are better places and views in Waikiki!
0:30 C concourse 2:20 D concourse 4:30 N concourse
Tbh it looks pretty ghetto compared to the admiral lounges of AA lol
Compared to the AA Flagship lounge maybe...
I love the Hilo Airport. I wish all seating areas were like this lower lobby.
I would recommend this hotel in Waikiki, this is more your style, not to many mosquitoes, which I think will be at the other place
Back at it again! Love the Content 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Hey so I’m curious about the club lounge tip thing.. if it’s self service.. what are you tipping? I’m genuinely curious, thank you!
Great question. I would tip as you would for a buffet. The staff was very attentive to clearing plates and keeping the area clean. I think 7-10% is the accepted norm for buffet type service but I would adjust based on your personal experience. That would put the tip amount at $2-3 for this lounge buffet.
Omg I booked this place, I better get earplugs then
Most realistic video of crawlers ledge I've seen. Great video!
Thank you!
I haven't flown Alaska since 2006. That will change in about a week, plus a round trip to Hawaii in May. Delta rocked the boat, and some of us looked elsewhere. We started the transition right before the Hawaiian acquisition was announced, and the changes so far have all worked in our favor.
Thanks for doing this review, it's very helpful. Evaluating if the upgrade is worth it for an eight hour flight across the Atlantic.
@@alanflora4321 You’re welcome and have a great trip. 🤙🏼
I think you'll have a better experience going across the Atlantic because they provide better service and amenities for international flying vs US Mainland to Hawaii.
@@mattleeder1 totally agree, international travel is in a class totally separate from domestic.
Hello, this hotel looks pretty nice but I was wondering which hotel and area is better I’m traveling with my family (including a teenager) Sheraton Waikiki , Outrigger Beach Comber or Renaissance Hotel and spa ???? Any suggestions. Thanks love your videos by the way.
@@CF-lc7kp for vacation (and teenagers) I would recommend the Sheraton Waikiki. I have a video review of that one also, just search the channel. On the beach, fun pools, heart of Waikiki. Have a great trip!
@ ok thanks, what month do you recommend March or April?? Thanks
On my next trip to Alaska this coming February I have a six hour layover in Seattle, and I was seriously thinking to get a day pass in a lounge, do you know what’s the price for a day pass for non-card members? Is alcohol included? Or what is the best lounge option in Seattle airport? Thank you for your video. I really appreciate it. It helps a lot.

How much is the Alaska Lounge Day Pass?
You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Please do an update and this time walk through the Residences, which I learned thru booking is a whole separate category / room. Super confusing if you didn’t know! But a MUST to have kitchen/laundry for young families. Also, the resort fee is now $56 and parking $59 😢 they also state on their website that locals get a special rate and don’t need to pay the resort fee!
Thank you for the great suggestion and yes having a kitchen and in-room laundry is so helpful when traveling with kids. I just stayed at Ka La'i HIlton LXR property, former Trump Hotel, and they had a decent kitchen but no in-room laundry. Thanks for the update on the resort fee and parking!
@ ah I just canceled that LXR hotel to book at the Residences! Really wanted more space and kitchen / laundry traveling with kids. The prices were actually super reasonable, considering I had to re-book all of this last minute! Thanks for your great reviews! I actually found your written review first and then realized I was watching the same guy’s review on UA-cam! lol

Best review of the HA cabins, seat, and legroom, thanks.
Theres another Adult only infinity pool at Hale Koa
Ah! Thanks for mentioning that. I hope to review the Hale Koa soon. Such a great location.
I was on the inaugural flight from SEA-HNL back in 2007 in FC. The service back then was impeccable. It was a very memorable experience. Back then, employees cared about your journey. I was also on other inaugural AS flights back then when AS did a massive expansion (SEA-ORD, SEA-EWR) and shared FC with many AS executives. Nowadays, I doubt I would even recognize a once great airline that AS was. With their reduced services and higher fares it was an easy call to move to AA as I retired in Dallas. AA isn't much better (in some cases, worse) but at least AA takes care of their elite FF.
The decline in service levels among domestic carriers seems to be a recurring theme. In the second half of 2025 I hope to review JAL, ANA and others to see how things compare. I hope over time I can get some inaugural flight under my belt as well. Seems to be a great memory for many travelers such as yourself, thanks for the share. 👍
Aah,not sure I would enjoy first class. I would pay if the service and food were great. I appreciate the information imparted, but I think I’d rather save the fare for something else. I was thinking to surprise my son. Maybe on a different flight.
You just saved me hours of research. Thank you for the thorough yet succinct synopsis!
I went here 3 years ago as a kid, it brings back so so many memories. I went during Christmas and we got to watch a giant dance happen outside. I hope to go back here soon :D
Thank you for sharing your memories, I hope you get back soon, truly a special place.
Ooooo, just like a cramped, crowded B-737! Someone gets to sit in a middle seat! How "nice!"
when you do these can you please include prices?
No lobster and no king crab legs NOT WORTH IT !!!!😒👎
Hi there, thanks for the video ... did you sit on 14 or 15th row? I am asking due to I will have a 14h flight do Tokyo and AA set me on 15th row and I do not know if there is more space for my legs as I saw in Air Canada 787-900. Air Canada 15th row is the first row after premium economy (3 row only with bigger leather seat) and I stretch your legs easily.
I believe I was in 14A on this flight. The seat map shows a nice gap between the 14th and 15th but I cant remember if that is a bulkhead or just a divider. 14h flight, wow! I understand why you want a good seat.
@@suitesandlobbies yeah, I saw on seat guru website this gap but in AA's app this gap is not there. I saw the video again and there is no space or gap behind you (row 15) :( My flight is 15C so welcome to default economy seat hehehe
As I expected from Marriott, they closed the Club Lounge. I’m sure it was too expensive to operate along with no resort fee
Yep, total bummer.
I loved big island
I've flown southwest twice and enjoyed it. I didn't mind the open seating since I was traveling by myself and had early bird check in. I get that with full flights and when there are groups, it can be an issue. I'm a fan for sure.
I can't imagine why you would add an unnecessary stopover on a red-eye flight like this.
No cheeseburger or steaks. Sports bar needed there. Relax. TV
Did you enjoy your stay here in Hilo?
I did! Kens for breakfast, Hilo Farmers Market for some giant avocados, and Big Island Cookies for the family back on O'ahu.
