You've found the ultimate haven! Your suite is breathtaking, but more about that later. First drop your luggage inside the door and turn around and stroll back out on to the "Shared Sundeck-by-Day and Moon deck-by-Night" with Waikiki's best panoramic view. Take a look around"Diamond Head is so close it looks like you could reach over the railing and touch it! Historic Kapi'olani Park is right below with wonderful jogging paths, free public tennis courts, both a world-class small zoo and the fascinating Waikiki Aquarium and the Zoo Fence Artist's Mart each Sunday.

Take a deep breath. The air here is like nowhere else, scented with the fragrance of tropical flowers. Look to your right. A pristine beach awaits. You may see body boarders snagging waves or folks catching some rays on the sand. (Don't forget the sunblock!)

You have chosen the consummate place to be on Oahu . . . on the Diamond Head edge of Waikiki. You can escape the hustle-and-bustle, or envelop yourself in it! We DO recommend that at some point you meander along the Waikiki Historic Trail which begins near the hotel.


Expansive view of Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, The Honolulu Zoo and the surf breaks at Waikiki Beach. Sunrise to sunset, enjoy the huge deck for sunbathing. Listen to the surf breaks and the birds sing. At night, sit out under the stars.

Suite 1005 is one of the largest rooms at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and is privately owned. It has undergone a four month complete renovation and is now, perhaps, the best vacation rental in Waikiki Beach. It features a two person Jacuzzi bath, large closet and lots of space for your things. The deep stainless sink and the four burner gas stove top are set in granite. Disposal, microwave/convention oven and refrigerator are all built in. Pots, pans, utensils, dishes and glassware are all provided.

Stay connected to the Internet and keep up with your email using high speed service with Airport wireless or wired connectivity. Bring your own computer or use the MAC computer in the condo.

A big screen HDTV entertainment system is included. Choose from hundreds of cable channels including HBO. Enjoy movies, DVD's and CD's in the realism of surround sound by BOSE.

All of this is 134 steps from the beach at Waikiki. Although close to the beach and the excitement of Waikiki, Suite 1005 is remarkably quiet and peaceful. Sheltered from the traffic noise far below, you can hear the surf and listen to birds sing. Located across from the Zoo, you may even hear the elephants trumpet or the tigers roar.

With a queen size Tempurpedic bed and a queen size sofa bed, it can sleep four in comfort. The dining table seats three.
