Interesting Facts/Things you should know:
Oahu is known as “the Gathering Place”. The third largest island of the 8 “main”
Hawaiian Islands, is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of
East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the native Hawaiian
people.
This is an island of activity. Whether you’re learning to surf in legendary Waikiki,
hiking through the rich rainforests of Waimea Valley, or watching the brilliant pastels
of dusk fade off of Sunset Beach , you’ll find variety at every turn on Oahu.
Island of Oahu = The City & County of Honolulu, approximately 75% of the state’s
population.
Honolulu is the capital of the State of Hawaii.
Oahu Population: 953,207
Time Zone: Hawaii Standard Time (GMT-10 hours). We are 2 hours behind the US
West Coast, 3 hours behind during Daylight Saving Time (Hawaii does not observe
Daylight Saving Time).
Languages: English, Hawaiian
Currency: US dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted. Traveler’s checks are
accepted at many businesses.
Average Temperature: 75˚-85˚ F.
Area Code/Cell phones: The area code for all of Hawaii is (808). Cell phone coverage
is readily available in most places if you’re coming from the US. Check your carrier
and calling plan for details.
Internet Access: Internet access is readily available on Oahu and at many hotels.
PERSONAL SAFETY: Many visitors to Hawaii are so happy to be here, so entranced by
the beauty and hospitality, they tend to let their guard down and do things they
would not do at home. Visitors need to be as security-conscious as they are at home.
This means:
• Do not leave anything of value unattended or in plain sight in your car, anywhere,
especially on the beach, in restaurants or lobbies. Lock them in your trunk if you
must carry them before arriving at the destination.
Bottom Line…pay attention to your surroundings, be safe.

Hotel Accommodations: US Youth Soccer Region IV has instituted a “stay to play policy
whereby all teams are required to stay in tournament approved hotels. Hawaii Youth
Soccer Association has secured the services of CSTT to manage the block of rooms. Please
contact CSTT (info below) to block rooms for your state association teams.
A complete listing of hotels can be found at the following
link: http://secure.cstt.com/Tournaments/HotelList_Results.php?eventid=5456
Honolulu is a very busy place in June, and the Hawaiian hotel market does have certain
practices which are not common in other areas.
In order to make this as affordable and easy as possible for teams, there are certain policies
your team should know.
- Hotel rates posted are the best group rates available for any of the hotels listed.
- CSTT will only book into hotels teams that have QUALIFIED for the tournament. Each
State will be providing a list of teams as they qualify.
- Some State Associations have set aside blocks of rooms to accommodate their qualified
teams. Teams from those States are required to stay at those hotels.
- A number of the hotels require a deposit when the Rooming List is provided. Hotels with
such a policy will have information listed in the Details page for that hotel.
- CSTT will have the ability to book individuals into a hotel that is not where their team is
staying. If an individual prefers to stay at a different hotel due to budgetary or personal
taste considerations, CSTT will do our best to accommodate them.
