Airport
The best (and only) airport option is Honolulu (HNL). You can look for deals on Google flights or even places like Skip Lagged! Insider tip: search for your flights in ‘incognito mode’. This can impact the prices, if you search multiple times.
Hotel
Hale Koa Hotel
Honolulu, HI 96815 +1 (808) 955-0555
This is a military only hotel, but for those who fit the criteria it can be a great deal! It also has Meicha’s favorite spa 🥰 the location on Waikiki is excellent for both tourist options, as well as close to the base! Make sure to contact them to confirm that your current military status (active or retired) matches their criteria. There has been some feedback about it be very strict.

Honolulu, HI 96815 +1 (808) 923-1555

Hotel
Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach
Honolulu, HI 96815 +1 (808) 922-3111
This is a classic (over 100 hundred years old) hotel! It is in a prime middle location on Waikiki; you could either Uber ($30 ish one way trip) or get a car rental to get to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. This hotel is absolutely gorgeous, and a definite top of the line experience for those that want to go big or go home!

This is where we typically book car rentals, as the prices are consistent and it’s easy to pick up and drop off the car at the end. **need Costco membership**
