"The Victorian-style Four Seasons Resort Lana’i, The Lodge at Koele has extensive and perfectly manicured grounds and a more sophisticated feel than its sister resort." Full review
Frommer's "This elegant retreat sits against Lanaihale, the island’s tallest peak, in the cool mist of the mountains." Full review
Gayot "Refurbished as a Four Seasons Resort, this country property is unique among Hawaii's top-of-the-line hotels." Full review
Fodor's "In the highlands above Lanai City, this grand country estate exudes luxury and romance with paths meandering through formal gardens, a huge reflecting pond, and an orchid greenhouse." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The 102-room Four Seasons Lodge at Koele is a serene, upscale resort with a Greg Norman-designed golf course." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Here at the edge of Lānai City, 1,700 ft (520 m) above sea level and 8 miles (13 km) from the nearest beach, the air is cool and misty."
Zagat4.8
""You'll feel like you're at Hogwarts" rather than Lanai City when you stay in this "first-rate", "cool country manor" in the "hills of Lanai" a few miles "upcountry" from its Manele Bay sister."

Fodor's "Rooms are in two towers—some peer at the ocean over the Moana's low-rise historic wing. It's a two-minute stroll to the beach." Full review

"It's nicely located -- in the heart of Waikiki -- but worn, noisy rooms, a limited staff, and poor maintenance drag this Sheraton below the standards of its competitors." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wide, open lobby of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is perhaps Waikiki's best spot for people-watching." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Along with spectacular views of natural blue Pacific and Diamond Head, the hotel showed its eco-commitment with heat pumps and exchangers to recover waste heat for hot water." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This comfortable hotel
has all the advantages of a Sheraton without the
oceanfront prices."
Star Service "Located in central Waikiki opposite the Moana Surfrider, this is Sheraton's entry level hotel in Waikiki, a tried and true midrange "resort" for the masses." Full review
Gayot "Across the street from Waikiki Beach and next door to the International Marketplace, this hotel occupies the beachside estate of Hawaii's Princess Kaiulani."
BlackBook "Not for those who crave oceanfront luxury, but more of an off beach tourist hotel with droves of international visitors and just a few Americans."
Frommer's "This hotel is prized for its moderate rates (for a Sheraton)." Full review
