Driving directions from Honolulu International Airport: Exit airport terminal and access H-1 Fwy. east. Exit freeway via Nimitz Hwy. and follow Waikiki directional signs. Nimitz Hwy. transitions to Ala Moana Blvd. midpoint on your drive, as you pass the port of Honolulu on your right and the Honolulu business district on your left. Ala Moana Blvd. merges with Kalakaua Ave. at the southwest entrance to Waikiki. Proceed onto Kalakaua Ave. and stay in the far left lane, which becomes Kuhio Ave. Proceed on Kuhio Ave. and make a left turn on Paoakalani Ave. The Aston Waikiki Sunset is on the right at the corner of Paoakalani Ave. and Kaneloa St.

Ezogiku - Japanese ramen is the focus in this popular spot.

Amenity highlights: A four-block walk takes guests from their home-away-from-home condominium units to Waikiki Beach and a lovely, grass-and-palm-tree park with shaded benches for viewing the surfing action. Breakwaters offshore ensure lagoon-calm swimming conditions. Locals call the beach "Queen's Surf Beach." But to visitors, it's all Waikiki Beach, all light-colored, and it all offers access to the same warm Pacific waters.

Insider tip: Blenders are available on request, a nice touch since the fifth-floor mini-mart sells liquor as well as videos to rent, VCRs, tennis racquets and shoes, boogie boards, snorkel sets, beach chairs/umbrellas, and baby strollers.
