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."

"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."

"This beautiful luxury beach resort on the Kohala Coast is chock-full of excellent features: top-rated dining, golfing, tennis, fitness training, and spa experiences." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms here are large and all but 27 have ocean views. Every room has a lānai (veranda), air-conditioning, robes, coffee, and other high-end touches."
Condé Nast Traveler "Built atop a lava flow, this eco-friendly resort is famed for its sea turtle rehabilitation program." Full review
Afar Magazine "A tree for shade, sand, tide pools to explore, a canoe house (hale) covering a koa canoe nearby, and a friendly turtle (honu) who feeds here are all part of what could be a perfect day." Full review
