There are two Hyatt properties in Honolulu: a Hyatt Place, and a Hyatt Regency. Both are close (short walk) to the beach, but neither is on the beach. Chase UR points transfer to Hyatt 1:1. You'd have to check the Hyatt Gold Passport site to see how many points each property requires per night. (The Hyatt Place will cost fewer points than the Hyatt Regency.)

I've been at the HR, but never stayed there. Public areas were nice; in many ways, it's similar to any other large, big city hotel. The HP is newer, and includes breakfast daily.
You should be able to find plenty of reviews for both, on line.
Edited to add:
If you and your spouse were each to get the Chase/Hyatt credit card and meet the minimum-spend requirement in time, you would each get two free Hyatt nights anywhere in the world (subject to "standard room" availability). You could then possibly redeem for four nights at the HR Waikiki -- or perhaps the Grand Hyatt on Kauai, if you wanted to see a second island -- and save some of your UR points.

Guess I wasn't thinking, I can spend 150k with my 100k points but I can only transfer 100k points. That only gives me 5 nights, nothing on chase ultimate site looks too good for kids on Maui
Don't think I have time to get another card and more points

I think you and your spouse each have time to get the Chase/Hyatt card and get two free Hyatt nights each -- if you can satisfy the minimum-spend requirement quickly.

Do you have flights booked yet?
Finding hotel to match flights is much easier than finding flights to match hotel availability.
Once you nail down flights (if you can, which is questionable for Feb 2017).....
1. What island are you on for what exact dates? Arrive/Depart
2. How many points do you have in what programs? UR, Hyatt, etc.
3. Do you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card?
If you can provide this info you will get realistic responses.

We are either going Oahu or Maui. Last week in February both have about the same availability for flights out but I wanted to make sure there was a hotel within walking distance to a nice beach before we made a decision on which island
We each have 110k chase ultimate rewards each with a chase sapphire
Dates are something like 2/24 - 3/4 depending on availability which will hopefully cost is 100k points transferred to Korean
With getting the Hyatt cards there is a chance we could do the min spend for at least one in time but I would be worried on hotel availability

Hyatt Regency on Waikiki is across the road from the main part of the beach, so while not on beach it is very well located and would suit you in that respect. Also one of the outrigger canoes is right there. I stayed at Westin Moana Surfrider which cost $1000/day to be on the beach, HR is much cheaper and almost the same location (see google maps). But for kids Hilton Hawaiian Village is probably a better choice.
