hawaii resort? first time!

My husand and I are thinking about planning a trip to Hawaii- flying into Honolulu in July. Looking at some hotels and website it seems like there are a lot of hotel in a city setting. Any ideas of more resort like hotels? Came across Mariott Ko Olina......any ideas for day trips? Should we rent a car?



Thanks!

On Oahu Ko Olina and Turtle Bay are really the only ones that would quailify as resorts although Kahala Hotel is away from Waikiki and yes you would want a car at either of the two.

Why not head for one of the neighbor islands? Maui has several nice resorts and is nowhere near the city setting that you find in Honolulu.




If you are staying on Oahu, then unfortunately your ';resort'; options are limited since the majority of hotels are congregated in the Waikiki area of Honolulu. Some of the hotels in Waikiki have more of a resort ';feel'; like Hilton Hawaiian Village etc., but are still in the city. Everyone has mentioned the major resorts, and PZP had a good point that if you are looking for more of a resort feel you may consider one of the other islands where the resorts are a little more inexpensive.
