(Haleiwa)

"While on Oahu, I have been staying at the Cove for 5 of the last 10 years. I have stayed down town (noisy) and on the westside (Sunny, Warm and a long drive to anywhere on the Island) and at another Hostel on the northshore across from Three Tables beach (Dirty,Loud,yuck! but nice people in the same boat I was in). Sharks Cove is by far the cleanest Hostel in Hawaii. The owners, John and Wilma Lane work hard to keep the Cove clean, and comfortable. They give you what you pay for-Awesome...

This is such a special place even though it is a tourist place. I loved being just a few steps away from the beach and people were very friendly. Buy everything you need from one of the many ABC stores that pop up everywhere. Do go on some of the tours. Have fun.

Oahu is great because there is so much to do, and most spots are not more than an hour or two away from Waikiki (if that is where you are staying). I recommend staying away from there as it is so busy, but each to their own. Kailua is beautiful and quaint. Everyone should go to Hanauma Bay at least once -- the snorkeling is fantastic! And the North shore is very quaint and beautiful (this is where you will see expert surfers, waves are massive here). I'm going back to Oahu for my fourth time, and plan on returning to this wonderful island as many times as I possibly can!

Oahu is a beautiful Island. Many beautiful places to stay. But I stress that you should venture out of Waikiki. Haleiwa and the North Shore are the places to be. Such a wonderful part of the Island even if you are not a surfer. Book accommodation early though on the North Shore if you intend to go December through to February. So many travellers I've spoken to only do Honolulu and this is not what I believe Hawaii is about. East Coast is great too. Have fun.

Great place! I spent a week here last March (2005) and had a fantastic time. Make sure to get out of the city and enjoy some of the countryside and northshore too! The western side of the island is nice as well as its not too touristy due to the fact that the coastal road dead ends near the northwest corner of the island. If you've never been to the island before I would suggest one of the many circle island tours to get a feel for the place. When you've done this you can spend the rest of your time going back and seeing the things you liked. You can get a 4 day bus pass good for any bus on the island for $20 or buy a month pass for $40.
