Anyone Live In Hawaii?

[anthony]

We're looking at accommodation there, and wondered if anyone lives there and has the inside scoop as to awesome accommodation at a reasonable price.

Not anymore... But if you're on Oahu & you can find (A2) a local sponsor :D Halekoa on Waikiki runs about $125 per night. Unless your friends are/were in high places. Then it's about double.

Hawaii
I'm fond of the Hilton Waikoloa village (posh / not military http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com/?WT.srch=1) on the Big Island. Worth doing a travel agent search on that one. We used to get rooms half or more off the going rate + dolphins & such. $700 a night for $200 kind of thing, with crazy upgrades & add-ins all totaled in. The "can't give a better rate than HH lowest listed, but can give you $500 a day in freebies". Ha. Done.). It's kind of like being in a dome on Mars, though. Drive through nothing forever, and then manmade paradise. Bit of a trek to anywhere else on the Island.

But if you don't mind staying far away from the beaches up in a crater (clearly, not my favorite, but some people love it), there's another military / govvie place there on the BigIsland, too. Also about $100, but little cabin types.

Sorry, I'm no expert on Hawaii's various hotels.
