Jetsetter "Big resort perks with a small resort heart, including two golf courses, a turtle sanctuary and a Hawaiian-inspired spa." Full review
Frommer's "After a $30-million renovation that wrapped up in late 2013, the posh guest rooms once again gleam with understated elegance." Full review
Gayot "Even if you weren't familiar with this hotel's longstanding reputation for quality service and unforgettable surroundings, you'd be impressed the minute you walked through the door."
OysterLuxury
"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
Fodor's "One of the most romantic settings on the Kohala Coast, this landmark restaurant near the ocean showcases the inventive cuisine of chef Allan Nagun." Full review

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
