Our Favorite Resorts for ENTERTAINMENT

Comments: If you want seclusion and luxury in your tropical resort AND want action and nightlife within easy walking distance, then the Royal Hawaiian is the place for you. The amazing thing about the Royal Hawaiian is that they are able to maintain a feeling of serenity at the resort ... all while only steps from the hustle and bustle of world Famous Waikiki. If you are looking for nightclubs, restaurants or local bars, you will have plenty of options in Waikiki.

When we think of nightlife, we are usually talking about either a beachfront bar with a great local feel or nightclubs where you can dance into the wee hours of the morning. You will find both in Waikiki just a few minutes from the Royal Hawaiian.

Comments: The Moana Surfrider is an amazing luxury resort located in the center of vibrant Waikiki Beach. At the Moana you get seclusion and luxury in your tropical resort AND all the action and nightlife that world famous Waikiki offers; all within easy walking distance. If you are looking for nightclubs, restaurants or local bars, you will have plenty of options in Waikiki. If you want many great nightlife options during your tropical vacation, The Moana Surfrider is a great choice!

Comments: Halekulani is a fantastic luxury resort located just steps from Waikiki. Halekulani offers unmatched seclusion and luxury in a tropical resort that is an oasis of calm among the excitement of Waikiki Beach. You will find extraordinary nightlife options throughout the Waikiki area, all just a short distance from the resort. Whether you prefer beachfront bars or nightclubs, you will find a wide selection to choose from on your visit to Waikiki.

Comments: When you stay at The Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman, you will be located in the heart of Seven Mile Beach which has many great resorts, restaurants and nighttime activities. There are a number of places to choose from if you are looking for a place to have a drink in the evening. You have great options at the Ritz Carlton so it is tempting to stay at the resort, but many times folks are looking to get out and explore a little after dark.

Check out Bamboo, Reef Grill, Lendgenz or one of the many other nightclubs if you are looking to relax to some island music. Many of the other resorts provide relaxing lounges and bars that we found great to enjoy an evening cocktail. Whatever you are looking for in night time entertainment, you can find it on Grand Cayman; the concierge can help you find the perfect place. Just another reason to choose the Ritz Carlton Resort in the middle of world famous Seven Mile Beach.

Comments: When you stay at the Sheraton Maui you have many different options if you want to go out on the town after watching the beautiful sunset over Blackrock. The Sheraton has great lounges that provide a relaxing environment to enjoy a tropical drink as you take in the beauty of Ka'anapali Beach. But some folks like to go off property and enjoy some the nightlife that Maui provides. If you want to get out and about, we suggest two locations close to the Sheraton.

Whaler's Village - Just a short walk down Ka'anapali Beach is Whaler's Village which is home to great shopping and dining options. While not really a nightclub, both Leilani's on The Beach and Hula Grill offer a terrific environment to get out and have a few drinks and meet other people. Both Leilani's and Hula Grill offer good food and we have enjoyed many meals there. They also have an excellent bar area that allows you to soak up all the views of Ka'anapali Beach (both restaurants are located right on the beach) and enjoy the cool Maui vibe. Looking to enjoy a few cocktails, but want to stay close enough to walk. Try Leilani's or Hula Grill. Both are excellent and you will enjoy yourself immensely.

Old Lahaina Town - Just a short drive or cab ride from the beautiful Sheraton Maui is historic Old Lahaina Town. Lahaina has great shopping, many excellent restaurants and plenty of locations to get out and enjoy the nightlife. Just walk down Front Street and you will find plenty of places to have a drink and enjoy some music. Most of the local establishments have a relaxed, laid-back feel. If you want dancing and more action, places like the Hard Rock and Moose's will be the hot spots to check out.

Maui is really a pretty quiet place so there is not your typical "club" environment. But if you want to have a few drinks and a little fun after dark, you will find plenty of options close to the Sheraton Maui Resort.

Comments: Picturesque Pink Sands Resort on Harbour island is known for its seclusion and pink sand beach. But if you like a little nightlife with your tropical vacation, Harbour Island provides lots of great options. Of course you can always have a drink at the resort, but if you want to get out and about, the following are some local hangouts where you can soak up some Bahamian vibes.

Rock House - The bar in the Rock House Hotel was alive with activity when we stopped by for a quick drink. The hotel is beautiful and you get a chic crowd in the bar. Very friendly group of people and it was great fun to sit down and enjoy a drink and laugh.

Sea Grapes -Mainly a local crowd but it is a great place to hear some live music. Not pretty as it resides in a nondescript building, it is a great place to go if you want to hear great music with a raw Bahamian vibe.

Vic Hum - This place has been called a dive, a dump and ramshackle ... AND they all fit. But Vic Hum is also an institution on Harbour Island. If you want to get out and enjoy some real, local Harbour Island flavor, don't miss Vic Hum.

There are a lot of other small places to chill out and enjoy a drink later in the evening. No matter what you are looking for, chic or local, you can find it on Harbour Island.

Comments: What we love about staying at the Turks and Caicos Club is you are at the west end of spectacular Grace Bay, which is more quiet and secluded. What we also love about Turks and Caicos Club is that you are only a short cab ride from a number of great bars and night spots. If you are looking for live music or Karaoke, you will have plenty of choices in Providenciales on Grace Bay. There is Danny Buoys, an Irish pub, and Bambooz in the Saltmills which has an upscale party vibe. Other resorts on Grace Bay also offer drinks and good live entertainment. It is definitely worth the short trip down to Grace Bay if you are looking for some nighttime fun. In fact, your cab driver will probably be able to offer you a great recommendation.
