    No. You can purchase breakfast package, but that's it. Since this is Honolulu afterall, you probably do want to venture out some.

    the closest luau that I know of would probably be at the Hilton Hawaiian village in Waikiki. I haven't been to that one so I can't speak about the quality or the price, just the location.

    Yes you do but the distance is not long so it’s more of a short walk on the beach, but because it’s private, it makes the walk more peaceful and enjoyable.
