What’s the best bang for buck in HNL? Doing 5 nights. Options are Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider and Laylow.

I stayed at the Royal Hawaiian 2 years ago and enjoyed it very much. Prime location and good amenities. I used points so it was a good value haha, but at check-in they convinced me to pay extra $ to upgrade to an oceanfront room. It was nice but in retrospect I would not do it again since the hotel is already so close to the ocean and the ocean view didn’t add much value for me (but cost a good chunk of change).

Thanks

I stayed at Moana a couple years ago. It was so expensive on points, hotel is gorgeous, rooms were tight but we got a balcony overlooking beach which made it worth it. Lounge is large with decent breakfast and evening apps. Just decent, was a little surprised. There’s a wedding there everyday. Ideal location tho. Overall wasn’t worth every point but I think we picked it bc it’s so famous and it was the best location of the marriotts/SPG.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
