Hale Koa is nice, and if you are looking for the Waikiki nightlife that's the place to be. Downside is it's crowded, especially the beaches. Bellows is away from the hustle and bustle and tourist areas. It's strictly for military and DoD families and the beaches are much less crowded. When I go to Hawaii I try to split my time up if I can with a couple of days in Waikiki to enjoy what it has to offer and then some real R & R over at Bellows.
Anyway, enjoy your time in the Aloha state - I'm jealous!!
