u/-Kevin-

Staying 6 nights in Waikiki. Goal is to surf (beginner) and relax. No kids. Just me. Maybe some excursions (Kualoa Ranch for sure).

Plan is to:

• Take 5 Surf Lessons (company called stokedrift has a package, I figure I'll surf a decent bit, I'm currently a beginner)
• Relax with a pina colada by the pool to read a book, etc (Seems like no drinking @ the beach, so I figure the hotel pool is the spot to relax not the beach?)
  • Massive points for kid-free-areas. Kids are great, but this trip is partially to relax, so tranquility is appreciated and I rly don't want screaming kids when I'm chilling.

What I've checked out so far:

• Wayfinder Waikiki ($1700)
• Hyatt Regency ($1600 direct booking)
• Hyatt Centric ($1700 Costco)
• Hyatt Place ($1500)
  • Free breakfast buffet
• Alohilani ($1700)
• Sheraton ($2,374.52)
  • Comes with breakfast
  • Adult-only infinity pool area
• Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort ($1400 Costco)
  • Adult only pool area
  • UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!

Still looking, but is there anything like what I'm looking for that fits the bill? Sheraton seems the closest, but it is hard to justify paying another $700 over the Hyatts. Also, if there's any tips on my surf lesson plan, do lmk :)
