Fodor's "This slim high-rise with 538 oceanfront rooms including 57 luxury suites fronts Ala Wai Yacht Harbor at the ewa (west) edge of Waikiki." Full review
OysterUpscale
"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"

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
