HELP!!!! 
Due to the fact that my company is paying for the hotel, I can't stray too far from the lowest price that our company gets at the "preferred" hotel (Hawaii Prince = $150.)
Any thoughts?

Don't want to sound like a broken record here.... but call Outrigger & ask for the entertrainment rate for the Outrigger Waikiki on a partial ocean view room. It probably will fall within your price guidelines AND be right on the beach.
I stayed at the Princess Kaiulani once. I won't stay there again. Depending upon where your room is, your view may be obstructed.
The Marriott Waikiki has recently been refurbished, and is directly across the street from the beach. There are no hotels in front of it on the beach & the closest hotel on the side is the Moana Surfrider. If your lucky, you can get a good view from this property. I've never stayted there (it used to be the Hawaii Regent).
Good luck!
