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

DK Eyewitness "Located right on the beach near Ft. DeRussy, this hotel’s highlights are a swimming pool, nightly Hawaiian entertainment, and the oceanside Serenity Spa."
Star Service "Located near its peer and sibling, Outrigger Waikiki, this place continues to be one of Waikiki's busiest beach hotels, and standards are the highest this chain has to offer." Full review

Keep in mind that there is a big difference between the Oceanfront and Ocean View, with Oceanfront being the ones to request.
BlackBook "On one of the prime oceanfront spots in the Beachwalk area of Waikiki sits this longtime favorite hotel."
Gayot "Now the queen of the Outrigger empire, this non-smoking property underwent a complete $110 million makeover to create an elegant oceanfront haven offering a commitment to Hawaiian culture."

Be sure to visit the poolside Kani Ka Pila Grille, where island entertainment is featured every night from 6 to 9 p.m. The property's highlights include its oceanfront location and full service amenities, including an on-site car rental and complimentary day spa and fitness center.
