Don’t Wake Up in Paradise to Construction Noise

• Wow, I wish I had a 'hotel under construction' list like this when I went to a Palm Springs resort in California one year. I think the entire resort was under construction except for our small wing. We had to walk through hallways filled with workers banging on carpet, walls, etc. At least it was quiet at night.

  Your Hawaii list is a helpful resource. I am anxious to see the new outrigger hotel/retail area in Waikiki. It should be a refreshing change from the cluttered and old hotels that used to be in that area. Since it is very difficult or impossible to build a new hotel in Waikiki most of the resorts are being renovated and upgraded, so it is harded to find low, bargain hotel rates any more. Some of the hotels have been changed to time share resorts as well. I recommend the Koolina resort or Turtle Bay Resort which are far from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

• Hi Christian - You're Palm Springs experience must have been a bit unpleasant!

  Like you, I'm a huge fan of the resorts outside of Waikiki on Oahu. I find them to be much more peaceful.

  Thanks for commenting!
