A stay at all OHANA Waikiki properties in 2007 will include a new, upgraded package of amenities
HONOLULU, WAIKIKI, HAWAII- Beginning December 22, 2006, OHANA Hotels & Resorts will begin offering all guests at its OHANA hotels in Waikiki a new, complimentary suite of amenities.
The new „OHANA Waikiki Connection“ amenity package will be available throughout 2007 and offer all guests a collection of valuable perks free with all stays. Every guest staying at an OHANA property will get free rides on the Waikiki trolley for the duration of their stay, and in-room domestic and long-distance phone calls to the U.S. and Canada, Internet access, in-room coffee and tea daily, use of in-room safe, and a daily local newspaper-all for free.
The unlimited trolley privileges will allow guests to ride free on the
Waikiki Trolley’s Pink Line. The trolley makes it easy for guests to get to some of Waikiki’s best destinations, including the Duty-Free Shops Galleria, the famous Duke Kahanamoku statue right on Waikiki Beach, the King Kalakaua Shopping Plaza (home to Niketown and Banana Republic), Ala Moana Shopping
Center, and both Ward Warehouse and Ward Centre.
„We know our guests will appreciate these extras we will be offering with all rooms,“ said Thomas Wakita, Jr., Director of Sales and Marketing for OHANA Hotels & Resorts. „OHANA has always provided great value to our guests, and we are proud to offer these new, valuable amenities.“ The OHANA Waikiki Connection will also offer OHANA guests the chance to experience Hawaii like a local, with access to a Ho’okipa Host. A Ho’okipa Host in the lobby will be able to offer guests valuable tips on unique local eateries, off-the-beaten-path attractions, and where to experience local customs.
Plus, early check-in guests at OHANA will get digital pagers allowing them the freedom to hit the beach or go out for a bite while their room is prepared for them.
