Book with points for the stay and there is no resort fee. (not points and money). This is a nice Hilton perk, Marriott still hits you with the fee on reward stays.
Pick a hotel without the fee (on Oahu only) DoubleTree Waikiki, Hilton Waikiki Beach. The new HGI on Kauai i'm told will have a fee but it has "yet to make it to the Hilton webpages" per the hotel.
Sadly Hawaii hotels are full of the rip off resort fees.
