Quotes from newsgroups, private messages, etc. on Gay stuff in Hawaii

We had seen an ad in _Island Lifestyle_ for the Village Inn, in Pahoa
Village, about 20 miles away from Hilo, so we booked a couple nights there.
The maid, Richard (er, handyman, janitor) was a lifetime resident and
surfer.  About 40 years old and overwhelming and friendly, he knew where
*everything* was.  He had tons of great ideas of things to do, and also
found Norval some greenery that was probably not as good on pasta, equally
expensive, but far, far more enjoyable than our previous herbal purchase.

The food in Pahoa was great, the guys at the Village Inn wonderful, and
there were tons of fascinating things to do.  We went to the natural
steam caves one evening and met a neat guy from Hilo who we chatted to
for hours.  Richard also directed us to a wonderful nude blacksand
beach.  Unique.  The Pahoa hippies playing wooden flutes and doing
tantric and mellow things, the black sand crabs scuttling across the
black sand, the huge waves that would pick you up and crash you back and
forth along the sand over and over and over again- we couldn't tear
ourselves away.

...the Hotel Honolulu is exceptional.  The room, the
location, the staff, and even the other guests were all quite wonderful.

Ate many many meals at Hamburger Marys.  It really is great.  Except for
the coconut pancakes with coconut syrup.  There is such a thing as too
much.

Had a quick look at Queens Surf Beach- we didn't really spend that much
time in Waikiki.  Overwhelming attitude, but beautiful people.  Sim: yes,
it was a lot like Miami- the part I saw, anyway.

There's also a beautiful gay B&B in Kauai, recommended by numerous
people, near a semi-private ocean beach...check with your travel agent.
