For 250K you can get a certificate for 120K skymiles and a 7 night Marriott hotel certificate for almost any Marriott resort in the world, with the exception of a few, the category 7s that Marriott has. All Marriott Hawaii resorts are 6s.
Last I checked it was 60K 1st class per ticket to Hawaii, but that may have went up to 75K recently. At the very least, you can get 2 first class upgrades, which is a great value as well.
I think the certificates are 087 or 089, one of those, I'm pretty sure.

There are three packages wwhich will get you 120k miles (on most major airlines, some airlines have different scales), and include a 7-night hotel stay.
083 (235k) = 120k and 7 nights at a Category 5
087 (250k) = same but for a category 6
091 (270k) = ditto, category 7.
Most Hawaii locations are Cat6's, with a couple of 5's.
Anytime packages are also available which are the same thing but include a Stay Anytime 7 night award cert, useful if you need to worry about blackout dates etc.
However, not too knowledgeable about howmany miles it takes to get to Hawaii esp. on the higher classes.
