But the visitors do not necessarily return to stay at Waikiki. Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. are now moving out to the sleek, discreet $11 million Kahala Hilton on the more exclusive, eastern side of Diamond Head. Even farther away, Chinn Ho has broken ground for a 5,000-acre resort at isolated Makaha, which will be the first to put adequate hotel space close to the superb northern surfing beaches on Oahu...
