Hi John — that’s a great list.
I have only stayed at 4 of these resorts. They were excellent.
The Trump Hotel is a relative newcomer, isn’t it?
Interesting to see Wailea Beach Villas.
Thanks.
I’ve got you beat. I’ve stayed at 8 and visited 10. Yes, Trump opened in November 2009. It’s across from the Outrigger Reef and next to the Waikiki Beachwalk.
