Honolulu is just Los Angeles on an Island. Very touristy / citified. I was only there for 4 days and didn't get to see much of it, but I also wouldn't call those days "relaxing".

Ya, I did not like Honolulu at all. Seems to be for people who go to Hawaii to shop in malls. Go to vegas. North Shore is good but oppressively windy. You are military so Pearl Harbour might be of interest. Tourist things like that are hell on earth to me so I did not care for it.
Maui is the schit. If doing a Giggling Marlin experience like getting shooters while a guy blows a whistle in your ear, then it is not for you.
Hawaii will ruin those all-inclusive Mexican vacations though, because it is garbage in comparison.
Big island is cool. The lava field landscape is super cool to me. Volcano stuff is cool, but I doubt you are allowed to walk across that crater anymore.
Never been to Kauai but I bet its also awesome.
So Maui>Big Island>>>Oahu.
But if I had never been to Maui or Big Island I would probably love Oahu a lot more, if that makes sense.
