HAwaii is far cheaper than LA regarding food and drink. Go local and you will be fine. Be a dumb tourist and spend far too much.
The Aloha vibe is cool. Very little harrasment, street vendors, hawkers, touts...you CAN relax there.
Water is great. Nice temp. Beautiful color. Great backdrop of lush mountains. Friendly people - even if they are Americans ;-)
Weather can be iffy...May is great, August is great. Go there and fiind out and get your own opinion.
It is NOT a cheap, 2nd world tourist destination for guys looking to get laid (no offense LOS) so expect somethig other than that and enjoy yourself. I've been their 8 times (married there, football games at UH, surfing on Maui and Oahu, snorkled 4 islands, seen octopus, moray eels, dolphins, whales giving birth and dozens of other great things).
As for cheap places to stay - condos on Maui and Kauai and still under $150 a night. Not cheap. Hostels are less than $50. How low can you go?
