Oahu Hotel
As discussed in our first News Update, we've set up a group contract for the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach prior to getting on the cruise for $300 per night for 1-4 guests per room. You can join us by purchasing the number of nights needed through this merch item: Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach
- Address: 175 Paoakalani Avenue • Honolulu, Hawaii • 96815
- Phone: 808.922.3861
- Web Address: HyattPlaceWaikikiBeach.com
The rate quoted includes all taxes and fees (including a reduced daily destination fee of $10, normally $35).
Additional benefits include:
- Complimentary daily breakfast offered on the 3rd floor outdoor terrace from 6:30 am – 9:30 am
- Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
- Complimentary access to 24 hr. Stay Fit Gym and Business Center
Not necessarily considered "benefits", but other things to know:
VALET PARKING: Currently, valet parking is $53 per car, per day, plus 4.712% tax. (subject to change).
EXTRA PERSON CHARGE: $30 extra for a 5th occupant in the room, per room, per day (not reflected in the pricing above - contact Jeff directly if you'll have more than four in the room)
CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Please note that our check-in time begins at 3:00 p.m. and our checkout time is 11:00 a.m.
Since this is a group contract, I will handle your booking with the hotel and all payment.
Based on the number of these items you purchase, I will assume a continuous stay checking out on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. I will assume everyone booked into the same cabin on the cruise ship should be booked in the same hotel room. Please let me know if any of these assumptions need to be adjusted for your booking.
Oahu Activities
Stephen, Paula, Kristine, and I are planning a Monday visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center for Kristine and me. We're doing the Super Ambassador Luau "everything, all-in" package, with a tour of the island on the way there from our hotel:
They're currently running a 10% off sale if you book more than 10 days in advance (use promo code "early10" at checkout). We'd love to have any or all of you join us - it's really a phenomenal experience. But you need to book this one directly on your own.
We're also planning on a visit to Pearl Harbor on Tuesday, April 30th before boarding the ship. Details are still being worked out.
