Honolulu/Waikiki hotels
We are spending 3 nights in Honolulu before heading to Ko Olina. We will have a rental car. We want a 5 star hotel on the beach. What would be your recommendation in terms of location, room, service and amenities?
Thank you

I was going to mention the Kahala until I looked at the Moana, which looks amazing.
We stayed at the Kahala last year. It's very quiet and peaceful, as it's away from Waikiki. Service is good, restaurants were good, and the grounds and beach are lovely.
It's very nice if you want to basically relax at the resort as it's a bit remote in a residential district.
I would recommend the Kahala if you want to avoid the hectic quality of Waikiki, but still be close enough to sightsee.

Kahala is not in central Waikiki. I really like to be where I can easily walk to everything... beach, restaurants, etc.
For "5-stars" and on the beach I believe the only choices in that category are Halekulani, Moana Surfrider, and the Royal Hawaiian, right?

I wouldn't choose the Kahala since your next destination is Ko Olina. For the first three days, I'd want to stay smack dab in the middle of Waikiki. Agree with Suze that your choices are the Halekulani, Moana and Royal Hawaiian.
