"Halekulani's little-sister property, this 297-room tower isn't beachfront... and has no grounds to speak of. What it does have is terrific bang for your buck."
Fodor's
"The guest rooms in this high-rise complex have modern minimalist furnishings but give a nod to the tropics by keeping plantation-style shutters that open out to the lanai." Full review

"Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price."
Star Service
"Located across the street from its stellar sibling Halekulani and a two-minute walk from the beach, this is a trendier pocket-size version of its neighbor." 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
