Lanai is my favorite place in the world but YES 8 days is a but too much for Lanai unless you have a house and can/want to cook. Restaurant selection on Lanai for 8 days gets boring.
Honolulu is great but its a different vacation. Its like people going to Miami Beach, or San Juan crowded beach area.
Places to consider staying for a calm within the rush:
*Kalaha MO
*Halekulani
*Hilton Hawaii Villiage Alii Tower (and only Alli Tower)
Honolulu also offers some awesome restaurants, museums, surf, beaches, snorkling, and sights.
Best way to do this trip is 4 and 4 not 8 in one place.
