Frommer's "That’s what you’ll find at this 30-acre oceanfront enclave of restored vintage cottages, spread among large lawns dotted with coconut palms, banyan trees, and tropical flowers." Full review
Gayot "Located about an hour from the Lihue Airport, this beachfront collection of vintage-themed cottages is a wonderful place to relax and renew your mind and soul."
DK Eyewitness "Step back into old Hawai‘i at these wonderful seaside plantation cottages, set in a coconut grove at the gateway to Waimea Canyon."
Fodor's "History buffs will adore these relocated and refurbished sugar-plantation cottages, which were originally built in the early 1900s." Full review

"Completely unlike any other hotel accommodation on Kauai, the upper-middle-range Waimea Plantation Cottages offers visitors a unique approach to the typical Hawaiian vacation." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A former oceanfront sugar plantation on the western side of Hawaii's "Garden Isle" is a perfect base-camp for travelers who want to explore Kauai's natural wonders." Full review
Fodor's "This casual eatery is located in the equally laid-back Waimea Plantation Cottages; it's a great place to sit with a cocktail and watch the sun set." Full review

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

"This well-priced boutique hotel appeals to foodies and families." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the moment you enter the elegant lobby, the Parc exudes an urban (and urbane) vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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
Gayot "Tucked in back of the gigantic Sheraton Waikiki hotel, this property was recently gutted and redone with new elegant trimmings with a chic and modern theme."
Frommer's "This hotel is a great Waikiki secret, designed for the 20s-to-30s crowds." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Halekulani’s sister hotel lies just across the street from its (much more) expensive sibling." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Offers stunning guestrooms and suites, as well as amenities that include guaranteed early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast at Halekulani Bakery and Restaurant"
