Finding a place to stay without going bankrupt is possible in Hawaii (unless you decide to move here, then it's a different story)! There are many hotels, condos, and vacation rentals available for rent here. One suggestion, if you wouldn't mind sharing a house with some of your extended family who will also be going to the wedding, consider getting a vacation rental together. Some of these large condos or homes can accommodate up to 10 or more people and will make the per person cost of accommodations much lower than paying for individual hotel rooms. Also, vacation rentals usually have full kitchens, so you can save money by cooking some of your own meals! Once you find a place you think you might like, Trip Advisor is a good place to read reviews and view REAL pictures of the place. Also, check Kayak to see if you can get a better deal elsewhere rather than online with the hotel itself. Most hotels have military, senior, and AAA discounted rates, so if any of these apply to you, inquire about them when you're booking your hotel room! It could save you some money! To make sure there's something for everyone, here are our recommendations for hotels and accommodations in Hawaii. They've been separated into different sections, so click on the one you're most interested in!

This hotel isn't exactly IN Waikiki, but it's still in a great location right across from Ala Moana Beach and Ala Moana Shopping Center. It's possible to walk to Waikiki from this hotel if you don't mind a 15 minute stroll. It's makes for good exercise! This hotel was also recently renovated to give it a more modern feel!

This hotel has recently renovated rooms and is in a great located right across from Waikiki Beach and within walking distance to many Waikiki's activities and attractions. 
 Halekulani
2199 Kalia Rd. Honolulu, HI 96815 1.800.367.2343 5 stars Room rates: from $365/night (Garden Courtyard room)
I think this is the most amazing hotel in Waikiki. The service here is top-notch, their restaurants are considered to be among the best in Hawaii, and the hotel is absolutely beautiful! You'll find that the Halekulani has THE friendliest, helpful, and knowledgeable staff! Staying here will also get you free perks such as admission to Hawaii's museums and the symphony!  Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Ave. Honolulu, HI 96816 1.800.367.2525 5 Stars Room rates: from $395/night (Garden Courtyard room)
This hotel is located about 10 minutes (by car) away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. It boasts the distinction of being the only AAA 5-star hotel on Oahu. The Kahala is the favorite spot of the rich and famous from Adam Sandler to the President! There's also a dolphin lagoon on the hotel grounds!  If considering getting a vacation rental, keep in mind that rentals outside of the Honolulu/Waikiki area will probably require a rental car to get around as bus service to some of these areas may be limited or unavailable. Waikiki is the most convenient place to be in terms of having things to do and places to see. A drive from the North Shore to Honolulu will take over an hour. The drive from West Oahu is notorious for awful traffic between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:30! East Oahu traffic isn't as bad, but will still take at least 45 minutes! Please keep this in mind when booking your vacation rental! A1 Vacations This is a very easy site to navigate because of all of its pictures for each listing. This site is also great because there's an availability calendar on the page so you don't have to bother wasting your time calling or emailing the owner to find out that it's already booked! Sample listing: Kailua 3 BR home, sleeps 6-8 people, $1120/week (6 guests), $20/each extra guest, beach is 2 blocks away, PC/Internet access, BBQ, Jacuzzi, outdoor porch  
VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) There are many more vacation rentals to choose from here, but not as easy to navigate as A1 Vacation's website. There are still many good deals to be found if you are diligent enough to sift through all the listings! Sample listing: Waikiki 2 br condo, sleeps 4-6 people, $146/night (prime season) and $128/night (value season), 2 blocks away from Waikiki Beach, full kitchen, washer/dryer
