• August 16, 2010Favorite Pocket Guide

  Our family just returned from our dream vacation in Oahu and this book has everything to do with it! Before we embarked on our one week trip, I consulted several books on Honolulu, Waikiki and Oahu and decided to take Frommer's Complete with us because it offered an ideal itinerary "Oahu in 7 days" (there are alternative recommended travel plans for 2 weeks and one month as well). The writing is highly effective and reader-friendly. We followed the book's travel plan faithfully - from Waikiki beach sunset to Pearl Harbor; from North shore Polynesian HA cultural night to East shore Hanauma snorkeling; from Dole pineapple plantation to Bishop's Museum; from Volcano eruption Show to Diamond Head hike... There are so much to see & do in Oahu and this book truly helped us make the best use of our time while we were in this tropical paradise.

  I purchased this on a reccomendation-everthing I`ve read so far I`d already read on the web-so my opinoin is-save your $ and look it up online.

• September 12, 2009Excellent resource book!

  This book is so helpful for newcomers to Hawaii. It is a good starting off place so you have some idea of what to expect from your move or visit to Hawaii.

• January 9, 2009Great Guide: Well laid out and reliable

  Early in December, when the cold cutting winds were blowing on the mainland, I headed over to Waikiki for a week of surf and sun. I took with me three guides but surprisingly I never got to use the other guides because Frommer's answered my questions and covered the angles. Kudos!
  
  I found the accommodations and restaurants in this guide to be reliable and fairly extensive. It is logical that no printed guide will be 100% current. Thus, you should cross-check any listing with tripadvior (or similar) on the internet. We stayed at the Coconut Waikiki Hotel (a very good hotel and good value). We were minutes from the Waikiki beach and we were surrounded by good restaurants, many mentioned in this guide.
  
  In the world of travel guides there are basically two types: those that are written for the wandering/explorer/backpacker people (i.e., Footprint, Let's Go and Lonely Planet) and those written for the traveler who like comfort and has money (i.e., Fodor's and Frommer's). Thus, in Frommer's their listing under inexpensive accommodations start at $125 a night for Waikiki.
  
  Frommer's recommendations of restaurants are reliable. The list is large, but those recommended are not inexpensive. One of Frommer's inexpensive restaurants, Cha-Cha-Cha (not recommended), cost $40 ( lunch for 2 with tip no drinks). Not inexpensive in my world.
  
  If you are going to explore Oahu or just vacation in Honolulu then this is a great guide. There are a few sections that worth the purchase alone: `The Best of Oahu' and `Suggested . . . Itineraries'. Highly recommended. 4.5 stars

• May 30, 2007Depends on the use

  My sister is moving there and it has everything you need as far as bus routes, prices, restaurants, and the listings are mostly price oriented such as least expensive to top dollar and includes a ton of phone numbers. Not so much history or mountains to climb but it can plan your trip for you all around the island whether a week trip or more.
