The Beach at Kaimana Beach Hotel

"Amenities are limited -- no gym or pool -- but its Hau Tree Lanai restaurant is impressive, as is its quiet location on a calm, clear beach"

"Our independent authors have visited The New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel and selected this as one of our recommended hotels in Waikiki"

"The beachside Hau Tree Lanai restaurant has the best poi waffles in town"

"Intimate, Japanese-toned beachfront hotel half a mile east of central Waikiki"

"It does, though, sit on one of the island's more popular sunbathing beaches, and local families are often found with kids in tow, enjoying the gentle waves and sparkling sands"

"Kaimana has always been a spot that attracts seasoned Hawaii tourists who are looking for an intimate setting and a gorgeous beach"

"The quiet location, plus the right-on-the-beach Hau Tree Lanai restaurant, makes this hotel’s lower-end rooms just right for the price"

"Like the Aqua Lotus this hotel, too, lacks a pool, but guests here are compensated with a beachfront setting that requires about 10 steps to get your feet in the sand! The laundry room, commissary, ice-cream parlor and shops here allay the need to head to Waikiki for necessities"
