Also what comes first - plane rental or lodging rental? It's hard to know what to plan first since condo inventory can be so tricky!
Construction is
SOUTH of Honua Kai --- west is the ocean. Check out the satellite view on Google Maps, and compare that with the Honua Kai map of any condo that you are considering.
As for what to arrange first ----- if you are at all flexible on dates, check out current airline rates for your proposed dates, searching significantly on either side, to get a handle on best time to fly for the least money. Keep in mind the President's Day holiday, which generally causes full planes and high fares around that long weekend.
With that knowledge in hand, book your room. Book your flight when you can get the best rate ---- and that probably isn't 11 months out. If you have no tolerance for risk, book your flights now. Otherwise, set fare alerts on search engines like Kayak and watch for fares you can stomach.
