Advice needed for booking flight/hotel combo

Hi,

I am planning on purchasing a flight/hotel combo from SFO for next July. This is going to be a trip for my uncle/aunt who are going to spend 1 week in SFO (already booked a nice C-class flight) and also want 1 week Hawaii. I have been checking a couple of the common webpages and came up with a number of options around $1000 p.P. Since I have never been to Hawaii myself I was wondering if some people are willing to comment on my search results and can maybe suggest better options:

I was looking @ 7-13-06 until 7-20-06 (but this is flexible +- 3days) for a flight from SFO (airline does not matter that much, AA or DL would be ok) with 7 nights in a 4*+ hotel (location does not matter much).

I found the Hawaii Prince Hotel (@HNL) with a DL flight for $999 p.P. @ Priceline (other sites were $1200+). There are also a bunch of 'resorts' available, are they worth the additional $400 p.P.?
Is it a good time of the year to book this trip for July? Are better offers coming out later in the year?
All suggestions are welcome! Thanks

Christian
