I know there’s so many posts in here on Hawaii… but which would you choose, Sheraton Waikiki, or the laylow for a lower cost?

The Sheraton is fantastic

That’s fair! I’ve never stayed at the laylow so I can’t compare. Personally I’d save the money on lodging and then go spend it on activities

Haven’t stayed at Sheraton Waikiki (was at a Hilton nearby), but ended up walking through/by a few times. Looked like a lot of fun with a great location and pool. Can’t comment on the rooms, obviously

Rooms are on the smaller end, esp compared to the Hilton Hawaiian village - but worth it for the amenities and how nice it is IMO

FWIW, I went to Oahu during December and ended up just getting an Airbnb bc the cost of hotels were higher when you factor in taxes and the daily resort fee which ran anywhere between 40 - 60/day. My Airbnb was 15 min away (by foot) from Waikiki and the beach in that area. And also 15 min away from another beach in the opposite direction of Waikiki. If I remember correctly, I think I paid about 200/night.

It just depends on what experience you’re looking for. I knew I wasn’t going to spend that much time indoors bc I had plans to spend the week sightseeing all over the island, but if you just want to take it easy and lounge around the hotel, then that’s a different story.

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
