I guess I forgot to address the Hawaii issue...I have stayed @ FS Hualalai and think it's probably going to be your best bet in the entire state of Hawaii. As my review of the property pointed out, I would suggest avoiding the partial ocean view and oceanview categories, as neither has a particularly great view of the ocean, yet they cost substantially more than the golf view rooms. Instead, I would opt for a golf-view room and negotiate an upgrade to an oceanfront room at the time of check-in, assuming you are not traveling during a high-occupancy season. You'll save a lot more than if you just booked an oceanfront room to start.
