Oahu is one of the most popular Hawaiian islands, with over 50 miles of sandy beaches.
Many visitors prefer to rent a car when visiting the island of Oahu. It is the third largest Hawaiian Island and has many attractions that tourists prefer to drive to see. Most hotels on the island offer parking but charge a hefty daily rate. Since this extra cost can add up quickly and cut in to your vacation funds, you may want to choose one of the few hotels and resorts in Oahu that offer their guests free parking.

It features an 18-hole championship golf course, batting cages with pitching machines, yoga classes, and tennis, basketball and volleyball courts.
