How does Waikiki weather compare to other parts of Oahu?
Waikiki tends to be sunnier and drier than the windward (east) side of Oahu and much drier than the North Shore, especially in winter. The south shore location and surrounding mountains create a microclimate that often has less rain than other parts of the island.

Can I still enjoy Ilima Hotel during the rainy season?
