Thanks all of you to analyse my post and offer suggestions... From what I read, it is better to stay at the Marriott in KOA and choose one of Starwood options at HNL (choices are wider)...
Also I have not mentioned that up front (and sorry for that) - I will not have enough points to stick to one of the hotel chains, so if I will choose Marriott for KOA it has to be Starwood at HNL and vice versa.

Marriott site claims that construction will be finished by March 31, 2007 - i.e. before my planned stay... how reliable is this information?
To Linsj: thanks for the advise but as it usually happens, in SPG and Marriott forums hotels are compared within chains, so this forum is almost only place where one can get an advice regarding both chains and particular circumstances.
