"Legend has it King Kamehameha built his royal bungalow on the site where the Sheraton... now stands -- and the location really is that picturesque and convenient." Full review
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."

Gayot "If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
DK Eyewitness "Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
Fodor's "Ten minutes from the beach, this tropical plantation-era inn is a fine value for those who want to be in the heart of the action." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This is where to stay if you want to be walking distance from Front Street, but still have a quiet place to sleep." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With a plantation-style look, complete with porches on both stories of the building, this inn lives up to its name." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 18-room adults-only bed and breakfast is located in the heart of historical Lahaina Town, less than a block from the ocean"
