Not a local, but here's my two cents... We stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki Shores, which is a condo (possibly the only condo on Waikiki). It was great for a few reasons; not terribly expensive, we liked having a kitchen to save a little money on food, and it was right next door to Fort DeRussy Park, so you had some breathing room, unlike other parts of Waikiki. You could sit on the lanai and actually see the sunset instead of into the next-door hotel's windows. We stayed up around the 11th floor. The beach is smaller, but much less crowded than the rest of Waikiki.

This was in 2006, so hopefully the information isn't too out of date. If we ever return to Oahu, we'll probably stay there again.
