Thanks,
slippahs, for a very detailed reply, with lots of information and good ideas. We'll check the Kahala and Ihilani. Being in the middle of things would be nice, but we always end up doing long walks anyway, and if we start with a ride, that would probably work.

Oops, I wrote that badly: we're staying 10 nights, and we're looking for any price break. We found prices on the Halekulani site for the various room types, and those prices seem to be repeated on all resellers, no reductions. And when the "packages" have a price for first 3 nights, and a nightly rate for additional nights, the rate for the three nights is just 3x the nightly rate. This is probably just showing that minimum stay is 3 nights, but maybe they give a slight deal in some seasons.

In Waikiki is our preference. If we can get in the ell-shaped building to the Southeast, I hope noise will be no problem. The trick will be making sure we get that.
Thanks again for the help!
