Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Review

This hotel sits across the street from its upscale sister property, the Moana Surfrider. You can sleep at the Princess Kaiulani, taking advantage of the lower rates of a non-beachfront hotel, oversee the bustle of Waikiki from your private lanai, and dine at any of the more-pricey oceanfront Starwood hotels, charging everything back to your room at the Princess Kaiulani. 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. The hotel's pool is street-side, facing Kalakaua Avenue, and the luau, "Creation: A Polynesian Journey," plays in the Ainahau Showroom.

    in a city of overhyped accommodations, this is very much the middle, as amenities are slight, noise is abundant and value is the only attraction. Aloha.
