The lineup for the elevators last night was easily 50 people, and this morning around 11am, it was a good 25-30 people long. This is pretty indicative of all of Waikiki right now. My visiting friend said it is definitely not a pleasant place to be at the moment and I agree.
To each their own, but getting up at ~7am to get in line to get a pool spot doesn't sound like a vacation to me; it sounds like work!
