We are planning to celebrate our anniversary at HR Waikiki since we heard a lot of good things about it.
Right now I am on the fence to either use 20k pts/night to book or book using cash rate.
We are going on Memorial day weekend and the cash rate is around $220/night.

That’s why I am wondering if it’s wise to use points since it will be low cpp for this award stay redemption.

I am not Globalist, but if we decide to use points, my brother who is Globalist can help with guest of honor booking, so we get free breakfast and waived resort fees.

What do you all think? Any advice will be appreciated.

Also if asking for room upgrade, which tower is better for ocean view, Ewa or Diamond Head?
