Spent 7 days in Maui and Waikiki(Oahu) in the past year.
Maui is great if you want a more relaxed family oriented spot, Lahaina is a write off(still haunting to drive thru), and makes entertainment/food options limited. I stayed in Kaanapali, if your more of a hit Costco and camp out kind of couple its perfect. Lots of great snorkelling nearby. Airbnb is the way to book, most of the resorts are timeshare's listed on Airbnb also so you have tons of albeit pricey options.
Waikiki was a completely different vibe, Everything on the strip is a luxury goods store, or an ABC store(their 7/11 in touristy spots) great deals for Oahu can be found via Costco travel. Oahu is gorgeous enjoyed my stay, however we got up and drove out to a different beautiful beach, then only returned to our hotel for dinner.
