Weekend Getaway: Say Aloha to O'ahu

The only large resort complex on O'ahu's unspoiled north shore is Turtle Bay Resort, a midcentury modern structure on a lava rock promontory abutting the Pacific. It looks like it's straight out of a James Bond film. Stuck in the '60s however, this resort is not. A new Roy Yamaguchi eatery just opened at the resort's beach front, and accommodations range from standard hotel rooms to a collection of beach cottages. The hotel's location makes it a prime spot for getting to some of the north shore's best beaches for relaxing and turtle watching and for enjoying charming Hale'iwa Town before the tour buses start showing up from Waikiki in the middle of the afternoon.

For a series of value rates this fall and winter, the hotel is offering rates from $255 per night plus tax, and they're throwing in a daily continental breakfast for two people.

That's all I have for this week. A hui hou (until next week) and warmest Aloha.
