The Inside Scoop by our Local Expert
Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu, but known to local Hawaiians as Le'ahi. The Outrigger Regency on Beachwalk is located right on Waikiki beach with one and two bedroom condos. Make sure to enjoy the complimentary P.O.G. juice and Kona coffee as well as the tropical music featured in the reception area. There are many shops, restaurants and water rental equipment stores (snorkeling gear, surf boards, etc.) in close proximity. Also less than 2 miles from Diamond Head, the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach is a three minute walk to the beach. Booking the deluxe ocean view room is well worth the price, especially in the Diamond Head Tower. You can save $10 a night on parking at the Banyan Tree ($15) directly across the street verses hotel parking ($25). For the price, both Hotels offer affordability and convenience.
