Frommer's "Formerly a very neglected budget hotel just a block from Waikiki Beach, Bamboo has been transformed into a contemporary "condotel" (a condominium/hotel) with an Asian flair." Full review

When booking, be sure to "reserve" a parking space, because the parking lot has a limited number.
Concierge "This budget boutique hotel just one block from Waikiki Beach makes up in convenience (and price) what it lacks in luxury."
OysterMid-Range
"It's a good value and convenient, though the building is a bit worn down." Full review
Lonely Planet "Step into the stylish lobby of Bamboo and you'll feel soothed. Bamboo is a decent choice, especially if you cop a discount rate." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Perhaps the hotel’s best feature is its pool area, which is surrounded by bamboo and tropical plants, and is adjacent to the two-room spa." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A smallish hotel offering studios and suites with standard, contemporary island decor; the upper floors of this high-rise have great views."
Star Service "Located around the corner from Ohanas East and West, in the thick of Waikiki's tumultuous flip-flop-fueled activity, this property is a vibrant boutique-condominium-hotel with a loyal repeat clientele." Full review

Deeply discounted packages make this a great value and a fun alternative to the larger Ohana and Outrigger hotels, but be sure to snag a room facing the relatively tranquil court in back or bring some ear plugs.
Gayot "This modern, non-smoking hotel offers a chic and stylish retreat from everyday life."

Jetsetter "Perched on the white sand shores of Wailea, this all-suite resort offers a beachside fantasy on Hawaii’s Valley Isle." Full review
Fodor's "Gleaming white spires and tiled archways are the hallmark of this stunning resort that's particularly good for families." Full review
Lonely Planet "The white exterior of this Moorish wonder looks a tad dingy and the alohas were not memorably warm on our visit, making us wonder if this seaside sultan has lost some abracadabra."
Zagat4.7
""When you want to be pampered in Wailea", this "classy", "exceptional" all-suites resort is "perfect for families or couples", providing "all you could want.""
Gayot "Built under the guidance of architect Jose Luis Ezquerra in 1991, this 22-acre oceanfront resort has come a long way in its short history."
Condé Nast Traveler91.6
""Is there a better resort for families anywhere in Hawaii? I doubt it."" Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"The gorgeous Fairmont Kea Lani, with arched breezeways, lily pad-topped ponds and palm-lined thoroughfares looks as though it’s straight from the pages of a magazine." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Every room in this whitewashed resort is a large, comfortable suite, and the fusion of Hawaiian and Mediterranean ambience creates a classy feel throughout." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The best thing about the rooms at the Fairmont is their size: suites that start at 860 square feet." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Steps from Polo Beach, the hotel offers suites and villas ideal for family vacations"
