In April 2016 we spent a week at the resort celebrating my wife's birthday in Hawaii and our upcoming 50th wedding anniversary in June 2016. Our daughter and son-in-law joined us for 4 of the 7 days staying in the adjacent Lagoon tower in the same resort. We decided to come in April because there is less rain than in June. Our room was on the 30th floor on the top of the colorful Rainbow Tower facing the ocean, the beach and Diamond Head mountain. At the resort, the four of us celebrated around the pool at the Friday live concert of a group singing both Hawaiian and contemporary songs followed by fireworks launched from the beach over the ocean waters. Afterwards, we enjoyed an excellent meal at the Tropic Bar and Grill restaurant on the beach in the same resort. On Sunday, we enjoyed a Hawaiian Luau in the same resort that had dance and acrobatic entertainment. However, our enthusiasm was dampened by rain as we ate our meal in raincoats, the only day it rained. The four of us went on a tour of Pearl Harbor and visited the Arizona memorial and the Battleship Missouri. On another day the four of us walked the beach and in the water. My wife and I went on a bus tour with several stops at sights around the entire island. We stopped for lunch at a farm restaurant where they raised shrimp. We did not need a car the entire 7 day trip. We had direct flights on Hawaiian Airlines from Las Vegas to Honolulu and back, leaving and returning on Tuesday. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at this resort and would do it again if we ever returned. A few days ago we celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary with a delicious dinner at the Olive Garden restaurant. We have no big trips planned this year but will stay at home in Las Vegas, celebrating with our daughter and son-in-law who also live here.
