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

Or you can choose to just laze in a cabana off by the calm water.

If you're a golf fan visiting the second week of January, ask for a room overlooking the course for a bird's-eye view of the PGA Sony Open from your lanai.
DK Eyewitness "On a great swimming beach and close to plenty of golf, this resort is perhaps best known for its lagoon, where guests can mix with bottlenose dolphins through the Dolphin Encounters program."
Star Service "Service is equally commendable, yet the creatively fashioned digs here are among the loveliest in the islands, competing even with the units at Four Seasons' sibs on Lanai and the Big Island. " Full review
Gayot "This hotel stands apart from the pack of finer hotels on Oahu for a number of reasons, beginning with its location."
BlackBook "Serene, secluded and gloriously luxurious, the Kahala is where the see and be seen go for leave-me-be time."
Zagat4.5
"The staff at this "serene" Honolulu "oasis" delivers "first-class treatment from arrival to departure" in a "beautiful" beachside setting overlooking a "lagoon with dolphins"."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"Besides powdery beaches and beautiful views, the classic Kahala Hotel and Resort... offers a 26,000-square-foot lagoon occupied by Atlantic bottlenose dolphins." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler84.8
"Opened in 1964 by Conrad Hilton, this ten-story property is in a residential area at the foot of Diamond Head." Full review
