Free Moonlight Movie - Friday July 3, 2009

WAIKIKI, HONOLULU, HAWAII – Fun flicks will be playing poolside this summer at Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk, starting with a showing of “Top Gun” on Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8 p.m. Open to the public, locals and island visitors are invited to kick off Independence Day weekend by jumping into red, white and blue inflatable rafts and watch the movie from inside the pool, or purchase a cocktail and hot dog to enjoy on one of the resort’s chaise lounges. (Seating is limited and on a space available basis.)

“A free moonlight movie at Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk is the perfect treat for families and friends looking for an evening of fun in Waikiki,” said Teri Orton, director of sales and marketing for Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk.  “Watching a classic American flick while floating in our heated swimming pool or relaxing in the large whirlpool spa is a unique way to take advantage of the tropical Hawaii summer nights.”

Playing on the resort’s Grand Lanai, the movie will be shown on a screen of grand proportion, 10 feet by 14 feet in size. Viewers can order a selection of cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks during the show, as well as an assortment of pupus (appetizers) from the poolside Pakini Bar.
