Clean, easy, smooth transaction with Cindy.
The Wyndham is always a good place to stay and was an easy walk to the beach. The beach wasn't very crowded and had beachfront rentals (chairs, umbrellas, surfboards, etc) for all your beach needs. There are no waves coming into the cove so you can swim or snorkel right there. I bought a $10 floaty from the ABC store for lounging in the ocean. :) You can also fish right off the rocks. If you want to surf you can walk down to Kaisers or Ala Moana and paddle out for waves.
If you want to see turtles, go to Pure Aloha Adventures. They provide snorkel gear and welcome beginners. If you are prone to seasickness, take non-drowsy Dramamine before you go.
The Hawaii Army Museum is free. We enjoyed learning more about Hawaii's armed services.

It was nice to stay in a condo so we didn't have to eat out. We bought groceries at Safeway and the ABC store is close and has almost everything you need. I highly recommend the shaved ice from Lahaina's Shaved Ice on Beach Walk which is the next street up. The fruity-tutti with condensed milk is to-die-for. There are tons of restaurants to choose from.
The beds were very comfortable and the hairdryer was just as powerful as the one I have at home. The TVs use screencast technology so I was able to use all my own entertainment apps to watch a movie. The pool and hot tub were nice and never crowded. The beach is so close and the water is so warm we only went to the pool once. Parking is $40/day and we received speedy courteous service. The showers at this Wyndham were lukewarm but that's not Cindy's fault. We didn't mind this so we didn't complain. It was refreshing! Who wants a hot shower in a hot and humid climate? Our condo had one king bed in room 1, and two full-size beds in room 2. The living room had a pull-out couch. It sleeps up to 8 but it would be more comfortable with 5-6. We had three in our group and I wouldn't have wanted more than 6 unless maybe two of them were kids. The full beds don't seem large enough for two adults.
The Hilton has a cool man-made lagoon behind it. Every Tuesday and Thursday night they have a Luau. You can pay for the dinner show but you can also set up a chair just off to the side near the lagoon and see the dancers for free.
We got a rental car but you don't need it if you plan on staying in that area. We travelled to the North Shore for a wedding so a rental car was important to us. Cindy provided links to car rentals similar to Airbnb. There's a car rental place on Beach Walk if you want to rent a luxury vehicle. Most things are within walking distance such as the Zoo, which was only a 15-minute walk.
I would definitely stay here again and use Cindy if the place is available! We didn't go to a presentation but they offered a $300 gift card for Dave and Busters. We just didn't have time and they weren't pushy about it.
