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 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.
I have ambassador status this is awesome!!
Does business class ticket get you in… just wont
ALOHA & MAHALO🤙
Something's off with your cover picture, the one shown before clicking on video. It's not the Hilo airport. Doesn't match up even if image is flipped. Light plane runway crossing obliquely is missing. No shoreline at right corner of runway.
This is indeed an ariel shot of the Hilo Airport, the light plane runway is just off frame to the right.
@@suitesandlobbies Nope. Compare to the first overhead image that starts the actual video. The secondary runway is clearly visible on both sides of the west end of the main runway, but absent from the thumbnail. Also no Hilo Bay and Banyan Drive peninsula at right (north). Skyline is similarly sloped, though.
You create great hotel reviews. It would be great to get you to share on Plannin. I couldn't find your email address. Thank you
Youre music sold me! Felt relaxed just watching! Kahala it is! Thanks!
Great video! As a Titanium Elite member, I can't remember the last time I stayed at a property with a club lounge that was open! Subscribed to your channel. I love learning about new hotels to add to my bucket list, and I always pick up some video editing tips for my newer TH-cam channel. Thanks!
Thank you! Unfortunately the club lounge closed here a couple of weeks after this video posted, so lame. They also charge a destination fee here now, even more lame. Still a great hard product though.
Thanks for sharing 🎉
I stay at both hotels, they both have their likes and dislikes but both are great hotels you can't go wrong with either hotels.
Theres a special place in hell for those who hog chairs all day while they go somewhere else. Just despicable to others
Thanks for your video of the hotel!! We are planning our trip to Hawaii next year. Your videos are so helpful
You are welcome! I hope you have an amazing trip next year!
#1...30/9/24
Ooh! I have platinum status - are there any other good status perks on island? My husband has Diamond with Hilton, as well. Thanks!
Jessica unfortunately this lounge test never worked out. The new Renaissance Honolulu had one and closed it a few months after opening. You need to be rolling in with Ambassador status during peak periods for upgrades. You will get a welcome gift and a discount on breakfast for Platinum in most cases. I am not up to date on all the Hilton Diamond perks so you may want to compare and go from there.
@@suitesandlobbies oh, ok! Well thank you for that information! Complimentary breakfast is my main concern, as I have 4 kids who love waffles 😂 if not for the entire family, at least for 2 (with status).
I've never flown Southwest but I know at Delta, particularly in the warmer summer months, the crew will ask passengers to pull the window shades down before deplaning/leaving their seats to help keep the plane cool. Could that be the reason the shades were down or something similar?
I think you are spot on in this case! I just flew into Vegas, 110 degrees. And they had us do this as well.
They only serve Water and Cran-apple juice on the Inter-island flights now, and defiantly no Alcohol service. To be honest, I prefer Southwest over Hawaiian airlines when going interisland. Such a better hard product and honestly, better gates too
Yep hard product is solid. Rumours about reduced inter island service are swirling so we shall see what routes remain.
The airport definitely needs a major upgrade.
I never knew I was allowed to go there. Lol
does it have wifi
The 787 does not, yet. The A330 and A321Neo aircraft in the Hawaiian Fleet have Wifi
We stayed at the Hilton and we love it. Cheers
I’m gonna go there’s next week Saturday have fun ❤
I’ve been to the D and N lounges. I usually choose the Alaska lounge for morning flights due to that pancake printer (and the sausage they offer is also rather solid), and ESPECIALLY if I’m departing the N satellite. I’m a sucker for the rustic, cozy/homey atmosphere offered here.
I would love to sit by that fireplace in N and watch a light snowfall come down. Not too much though, don't want a delay or anything, ha!
@@suitesandlobbies the only thing I'd say the lounge is missing is hot chocolate (at least during the winter months).
😊thanks I am on my way to getting there
Their the same airlines
Stinks with theceo pay is #1 as food is very limited and cheap.. really norai erbeer salomn du gress carb hell no top pot doughts.
Only 50$ per day?(I don't have a car and don't want to)
It will never work. Ewa Beach… the armpit of Oahu.
❤❤❤I love your voice. Clear and calm.thank you ❤❤❤
All Alaska lounge in SeaTac is a joke. Same food for ages and it’s not good. I’m getting taco-phobia.
The Alaska Lounge at N is quite nice I think, I do think some food option rotations would go a long way in keeping members happy, especially at SEATAC.
@@suitesandlobbies Domestic lounges has such a long way to go compared to lounges operated by international carriers. The economics and lack of competition in this space (domestically) will likely keep things the same for a while.
For the right amount of points I would try it. Category 3 or lower
Check out the Courtyards here on O’ahu, you would think they had butler service 😂. I want to see if they charge a resort/destination fee in Ewa Beach 🙄
That Loco Moco & Duck looked good. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Such a great hotel to eat at and they have 2 new Italian places on the property.
Great job, your video helped a lot!
Based on your video, I would definitely choose Moana.
Interesting, but I would think pricey
When the hotels charge $400+ a day per room , it's likely the hotels can afford to pay their employees a living wage. Just guessing.
Hello from Alaska, we are fortunate to be heading to Hawaii again in October (9-16) to celebrate my 50th Bday (girls get-away) staying at Ka La'i...we booked a catamaran for the Friday night fireworks, anything else FUN happening in Waikiki mid October you'd recommend? Love your videos!!
IF I'm on holiday or vacation then I'm there to relax and despite them having the right to picket or protest does not mandate that I have to sacrifice something (peace of mind) for their cause.
Of all the things to say, this is what came to mind?
Just as long as you get yours, right?...
The workers get my support. These hotel need to take better care of their employees. They’re the heart and soul of their business. We stayed at the Queen Kapiolani ever year for 12 years because we loved the employees there so much. Some of them became good friends with us and they would send $20 USD to put flowers on my moms grave every single year when she passed away. And that’s been for 20 years now. They are the #1 reason we kept going back to that hotel and believe me when I say, all of these employees work so very hard as all hotel workers do. These are very difficult and demanding jobs.
WHEN YOU DONT FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS YOU BECOME A DEMOCRAT
Dam i just stayed at Sheraton wakiki for my bday July 26 and booked for 12/27/24-1/3/25
@@kevinwillis4341 hopefully the Waikiki hotel strike and worker requests are resolved by then. Fingers crossed 🤞
I support the workers. If I was there I would just clean my own room and go out to eat.
Why are they Striking? 💞🤍🔥🌎🕊️🌏🔥🤍💞
Wages and other issues, I have some links to learn more about the strike in Waikiki here - www.suitesandlobbies.com/what-to-do-when-your-hotel-is-on-strike/
