From the desk of Miss Tiki Oasis 2025

I had the honor of shooting at the historic La Mariana Sailing Club on Oahu, HI. This was truly a surreal moment to walk into one of the last, historic restaurants on the island with nobody there — just the groundskeeper. This luxury awarded me the time to slowly walk through and ask questions about the remodel by and be told stories of the original owner.
Thank you for shooting and your boots on the ground technique of getting this scheduled. Thank you for your generosity and retouching. Thank you for letting me borrow this AMAZING find of a Hilo Hattie dress and everything you did during this trip. And mahalo for this opportunity and your hospitality. ♥️

{Tiki Oasis Hotel Rooms Available May 4th at 6pm PDT}

Tiki Oasis HOTEL BOOKING TIPS!
1. You can ONLY book the through the Tiki Oasis website: https://www.tikioasis.com

2. Do NOT call the hotel. They can NOT help you. All reservations must go through our Tiki Oasis website. Do NOT waste your time calling the hotel! PLEASE oh please don't call them. They want us to make sure you know - Do NOT call them!

3. You MUST reserve the 3 main nights Thursday, Friday & Saturday or the reservation will NOT work! The hotel link will show ALL the dates including our shoulder dates, be prepared to select the dates you desire.

4. When reserving make sure you select your STATE and all the other details or the reservation will not go through.

5. You can only book ONE room at a time.

6. A COMPUTER works best for room reservations vs phone/tablet. Refreshing your device multiple times before the launch time of 6pm will not change that reservations open at 6pm and could crash our website.

7. All reservations require a valid credit card. Your credit card will get charged a 2 night non-refundable deposit within 72 hours of making a reservation.

8. There will be a waitlist posted here and on the website for rooms once sold out. Get on the waitlist. Do not call the hotel about the waitlist. They will not tell you where you are on the waitlist or be able to assist you with this in any way.

9. Deep breath. From our experience if people want to come to Tiki Oasis it will all work out. If you do not get a room right away, you have computer issues, our website crashes or whatever happens just be confident it will all work out. It ALWAYS does. In the past, every single person on the waitlist was offered a room!

10. Since Tiki Oasis takes over the entire hotel you MUST use our link noted on our website - if you do not the hotel will show up as 'sold out' to you! Do not call the hotel. They will NOT be able to help you reserve a room at Tiki Oasis.
