I went there many years ago on a family vacation, and we stayed at a place called "The Royal Lahina". It was FABULOUS! Right on the beach...golf course on site...trolley stop in front, perfect for a relaxing vacation. And they have a wonderful pool with excellent waiters to wait on you hand and foot! My only regret was not taking a surfing lesson! Good luck, you'll have so much fun in Hawaii, no matter where you stay!
