Waikiki Beach Resort Hawaii

On the short list of good things to come from an economic recession, "travel deals" are certainly somewhere atop the list. The newly acquired Marriott Waikiki Beach (formerly Wyland Waikiki) is offering rooms at $109/night through December 22, 2009. This 404 room urban mecca in the middle of Waikiki is equipped with two pools (one fresh water, one salt water), a complete spa, a KiMOBEAN coffee shop, library lounge and "chill" entertainment room. The hotel's restaurant, Spada, is a great place to find a full kitchen when you need a break from your Hawaiian getaway.
