Lonely Planet "People are constantly coming and going and if you stop, the crowd might just whisk you away." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Sleek and modern, this 1,700-room hotel towers over the prime location on the beach at Waikīkī – most of the rooms have spectacular ocean views."
Star Service "This hotel may be ranked No. 2 in size behind the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but it is a bustling beehive of activity in an excellent location, and individuals and groups both big and small do well here." Full review
Gayot "One of the largest hotels in Waikiki happens to be so close to the water that its retaining walls jut into the high water mark."
BlackBook "At the heart of Waikiki, the Sheraton has a gazillion floors and an ever-bustling lobby. Check your vertigo at the front desk."

"An upgrade from the cramped standard rooms is worth it at this 125-room beachfront hotel in a mellow area a half-mile outside of Waikiki." Full review
Lonely Planet "For a little more privacy and seclusion, the New Otani offers well-kept, small rooms and its own beach about a half mile from the throbbing heart of Waikiki." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Although the rooms at this boutique hotel are small, the fabulous location on Sans Souci Beach... more than makes up for them."
Rough Guide "Intimate, Japanese-toned beachfront hotel half a mile east of central Waikiki."
Star Service "An unusual offshoot from this usually business-centric chain, Waikiki’s New Otani boasts a breezy tropical backdrop and one of the best beachfront locations in Waikiki." Full review
Gayot "This hotel offers a pleasant oceanfront setting and a location that is just far enough from the bustle of Waikiki to keep those seeking peace and quiet happy."
BlackBook "Just enough off the beaten path to be in the mix but still far away to avoid the busy beaches."
Frommer's "This is one of Waikiki's best-kept secrets: a boutique hotel nestled right on a lovely stretch of beach at the foot of Diamond Head, with Kapiolani Park just across the street." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Waikiki's only boutique property located directly on the sand of Kaimana Beach...the hotel maintains its casual style and modern-boho aesthetic. "
