I've been to Hawaii more times than I can count. Usually when I go for work, and actually get a layover (rare) we stay in Honolulu, near Waikiki beach. The hotel is decent (a lot of the hotels are just decent), but the location is phenomenal! There are luxury shops, department and discount stores. Any food you could ever want is close by... and most importantly the beach is less than a five minute walk away!

Often as a Flight Attendant we are alone on our layovers. The crew you worked with to a destination may not have the same layover, the same hotel, or the same desire to explore the city you are spending time in. Sometimes being alone can be tough, but Honolulu is one of the few places that I don't mind exploring by myself. I actually LOVE a Honolulu layover!!! 

I've compiled some of my Snap Chat stories from layovers in paradise, enjoy!
