If you're looking for a place to stay in Waikiki, you'll want to consider the Marriott Resort. You'll be within walking distance of the beach and restaurants, but far enough away from the bustling crowds that you won't have to worry about parking. Its location near Kahanamoku Beach makes it easy to reach the beach without having to fight the traffic. The only downside is that you'll be closer to the center of the action, but you won't feel crowded.
