Best hotel or condos on Oahu to be able to walk to the beach for snorkeling?

luckylab8 asked:

I’m planning a trip to Oahu in September and I know Hanauma Bay is the best for snorkeling, but no hotels nearby, right? I want to wake up every morning and walk right down to the beach for some great snorkeling. I can drive for the rest of the day to do all the other stuff on the island. Where should I stay?
Also, I love Hawaiian culture, food and nature, but not interested in the Waikiki city stuff. There’s so much to do, I can’t decide! Planning to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Waimea Valley, shave ice at Matsumotos, snorkeling every day, the swap meet, and kayaking. What else should I be sure to do? Thanks!
P.S. One more: swimming with dolphins–where do they have that, and is it awesome, or do you feel bad for the dolphins?
