"Built on Kalapaki Beach, the Marriott’s 800-acre Kauai resort is a good fit for families and business travelers alike." Full review
Frommer's "This 10-story, multiwing hotel—the tallest on Kauai since opening in 1986...superlatives include Kauai’s largest swimming pool, a sort of Greco-Roman fantasy that would fit in at Hearst Castle" Full review

"This bland, 578-room high-rise 10 to 15 minutes from the main Waikiki action -- and, alas, its beach -- features strong service and two good restaurants." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Every room at this marinafront hotel overlooks the picturesque Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. There are two award-winning restaurants: Prince Court offers Hawai’i cuisine, Hakone traditional Japanese."
Star Service "This hotel remains one of the top business addresses here, a plush Japanese workhorse that provides fine accommodations and service but only middling facilities." Full review
Gayot "Located on the very western edge of Waikiki and set back from the beach, this twin tower hotel was completely renovated in 2011."
Zagat4.2
"The "aloha spirit" of this 28-floor, 578-unit resort... makes this "local favorite" the "essence of a Hawaiian getaway"."
Condé Nast Traveler "For the on-the-go traveler who doesn't want to to give up on amazing views and decent dining, this is a fantastic spot." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Surrounded by panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the hotel offers contemporary accommodations, poolside cabanas, exclusive Club Lounge, and access to the Hawaii Prince Golf Club"
