Frommer's "You can't beat the location of the Ilikai Hotel -- sitting at the entrance to Waikiki, it overlooks the Ala Wai Harbor and is within walking distance to numerous restaurants and shops." Full review
Fodor's "The atmosphere here is casual thanks to an open-air lobby, cascading waterfalls, and torch-lit walkways perfect for evening strolls above the harbor." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"The once-historic Ilikai has the makings of a great hotel -- massive, clean rooms, an elegant open-air lobby, a newly refurbished pool, and a well-equipped fitness center." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Conveniently located between Waikīkī and Ala Moana Center, the guest rooms here are spacious and situated in two towers with views of Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and the ocean."
Star Service "The hotel is split almost evenly between well-proportioned hotel accommodations and one- and two-bedroom time-share and condominium accommodations. " Full review
Gayot "The sports and fitness center has six tennis courts, and the hotel is home to an esteemed Italian restaurant, Sarento's Top of the I, which offers stunning, 30th-floor views."
BlackBook "One of the very first hotels in mid-century Waikiki, part of the acclaim (and niche) comes from its star playing role in Hawaii Five-O."
The Telegraph7.0
"This historic 30-story high rise hotel . . . boasts amazing city and ocean views from its revamped apartment-style rooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure "You may have seen this striking hotel on the opening credits of Hawaii Five-O, and it's a Waikiki landmark with contemporary accommodations, and luxury amenities"

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
OysterMid-Range
"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
