Rooms at this resort at the base of Diamond Head have tropical ceiling fans and "a classic island style." Suites add Brazilian walnut floors and handwoven rugs to the equation. The dishes at Hoku mesh Hawaiian, Asian, and European cuisines, while Plumeria's breakfast buffet is an "excellent spread served by the beach." The staff "surpassed my expectations, and I'm so jaded."
