More and more resorts and giant hotels with thousands of rooms were built in Waikiki. Big corporations like Hilton or Outrigger bought land and existing hotels. Vacation Rentals weren’t as popular back then as they are today – ATTENTION: The resort zoning changed in Waikiki. Make sure not to end up in an illegal vacation rental in Waikiki!
