Waikiki puts you steps from the beach and resort dining; Downtown Honolulu offers a quieter, more local base with a short drive to the beach.
The airport sits a reasonable distance from Waikiki, with shuttle, taxi and rideshare options widely available — book resort shuttles in advance during peak season.
Waikiki itself is walkable; a rental car opens up the rest of Oahu's beaches and hiking, which is worth it if your trip extends beyond the resort strip.
