Hawaii has, over the years, proven to be a very popular tourist destination, with a seaside accommodation proving to be the hot choice for travellers. But, most seaside hotels end up being very expensive for quite a few visitors, making it almost impossible for them to stay at a place they desire. If you are one of those tourists then a seaside hostel will come to your rescue, offering different types of rooms – that you can choose according to your budget – at rates that will suit all budgets.
The seaside hostels has three types of facilities for people to stay in:
- The regular dorm is an eight-bed coed dormitory, and is the cheapest of all the rooms available.
- The premium dorm is a four-bed coed dormitory, which has slightly more space than the regular dorm, as well as a larger bathroom.
- The semi-private rooms, as the name suggests, offer a lot more privacy than the other two dorms, and naturally is the costliest of the lot. The occupants of a semi-private room will only be required to share the shared bathrooms – called Ensuites – with the dorm residents.
Additionally, these hostels have a courtyard facility which is a great place to relax, read a book, and just chill out. You could also take up a slew of activities that a seaside hostel has to offer. The most popular of these activities is the hike to Manoa Falls, which goes through the scenic “secret beach” near Diamond Head. Another popular activity is the “Fireworks Walk” that takes place on Friday nights. They also have weekly barbecue festivals where you can enjoy scrumptious grilled food like burgers, grilled chicken, pork, etc., and hang out with your friends.
While at the hostel, you could visit a bevy of places, the most favoured among which is the beach, and three such places are Hanauma Bay, the Wakiki Beach and the Makapuu Point – which is also the most beautiful of the three. Don't forget to witness the sunset at Wakiki, while taking a walk along the beach; one of the most memorable sights at the place. These many activities and scenes will ensure that even though the budget is light, the adventure and the memories will certainly not be low on the fun quotient. So, the next time you're travelling to Hawaii on a budget, remember to book yourself at a seaside hostel in Wakiki.
