    12th floor...great start to 2026 Yelpstars.
    Chris G.

    Aloha Yelpstars, I'm a little confused by some of the Sheraton Waikiki ratings. Let's get into this... For my wife's bday celebration she chose to return to the Sheraton Waikiki. She last visited 5 years ago with some girlfriends and always spoke highly of the property and hotel. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon for our 9 day stay. Immediately I noticed that every employee I contacted went above and beyond to greet me and make sure if I needed help they would handle my situation. Staff here from valet, pool staff, housekeeping, bell desk, hotel check in, and even landscaping are well trained and operating on a higher than 90% of hotels out there. This level of service continued from our first to last day folks. Wendy our housekeeper was awesome and remember to tip appropriately! I want to talk about a common complaint I see in the reviews. Cost. I hate to slap you in the face with this but prices aren't what they used to be. Yes, this is a very expensive property. For us, it was worth the splurge that maybe will only be done every 5 years, but there's a reason for the high price. This hotel is roughly 2,500 miles away from the continental US and in my opinion one of the best ocean front properties in the world and you have to pay for that. If you are going to complain about cost then please stay home. Everything on an island that isn't naturally there has to be shipped there. So cost is obviously higher. I was last in Waikiki in 1995 as a child. I remember it then and seeing it again now was amazing. The food, city, and the ability to rent a car and leave the city in a flash is something unique in this paradise. The Sheraton adults only pool and the views that the ocean side hotel rooms provide are unparalleled. The kids pool is also above and beyond for the under 16-year-old age group. God speed Sheraton Waikīkī, I will return.

    What an amazing check in experience! Quli was amazing when I checked in with my family. She was so helpful and took care of an issue! The room is amazing!

    I would give this hotel a 10 out of 10. We stayed here for about seven days while in Hawaii for our friend's wedding. My boyfriend was in the wedding party and we decided to arrive a day early to enjoy more time in Waikiki. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent. We took a taxi from the airport and as soon as we pulled up the staff greeted us, handled our bags with care, and made check in smooth and easy. We booked a balcony room and asked for an ocean view but instead our view overlooked the pool. Even though it wasn't what we requested the room itself was very beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and we were still happy to have the balcony. The cleaning staff was fantastic. Our room was refreshed daily with new towels and clean sheets which made our stay feel even more comfortable. The hotel gym was a nice surprise. It was clean, not overcrowded, and stocked with everything I needed. I even met another guest there who lifted the same way I did which made it even more fun. I also loved the pools here. They have two separate pools, one for families with children and one that is adults only. It was so nice having the option to enjoy a more relaxing pool experience just for adults. We were given two cards for towels but honestly one was enough for both me and my boyfriend. You just hand the towels back when you are done and they return your card. Super easy system. Another highlight was the coffee spot inside the hotel. I went there every single day for an iced mocha and it was seriously so good. Our stay also included breakfast which was a great perk. The food was fresh and the women who hosted the breakfast area were amazing. They even remembered me by my colorful workout clothes which made the experience feel personal. The location of this hotel is unbeatable. You can walk right out to the beach or stroll around Waikiki with plenty of shops, restaurants, and entertainment nearby. Inside the hotel there were lots of stores and dining options too. My personal favorite was the cookie stand. I went almost every other day for two cookies for just four dollars and they were delicious. Overall our stay at Sheraton Waikiki was wonderful. Between the location, the pools, the amenities, and the amazing service it was the perfect place for our trip. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Hawaii.

    Excellent location, seamless checkin and checkout, nice amenities,wonderfully helpful and pleasant staff, great room (I booked an ocean view room). The one oddity is as the shower, which had a bowed curtain rod extending beyond the floor drain in such a way as to make it impossible to shower and keep the bathroom floor dry. Either a straight bar and curtain immediately over the floor drain or an enclosed shower would do much to avoid a wet floor and possible slip-and-fall risk.

    Loved this resort! The view from my room was breathtaking. Was in the best location. It was directly next to the international marketplace where I loved walking around. Loved swimming around in the pool. I also enjoyed the infinity pool and access to the beach. Would love to come here again.

    We booked an ocean view king bedroom. It was great until on the 2nd day of our stay. For over two hours we listening to what sounded like jackhammers going above us. We placed numerous calls to the front desk. I eventually called and asked for the manager. The manager wanted me to believe that it was noise from the first floor cafe being renovated. I explained several times that it was coming from above our room. She insisted it was the first floor. My husband was able to get a video from our balcony of the sound and the tarps hung directly above our room. I went to the lobby and requested the manager and played the videos for her. She then advised she would put a call into the "engineering department". She requested that I gave her 15 to 20 minutes and she would call me. 30 to 35 minutes later she called back and she spoke with my husband. She offered to put us into a presidential suite on the 31st floor. She requested that we come downstairs to get our new key cards and that a bell boy would assist with getting our luggage moved to our new room. My husband went downstairs to get the new key cards and the manager then expressed that she felt the suite bedroom view was better than the presidential suite and an overall better room. So she was now putting us in a suite instead. After we were moved into the new suite, my husband looked up the presidential room and found that in fact the presidential room was better than the room she had placed us into. Well, we were grateful for a new room, we didn't appreciate being lied to by the manager. Mind you this was our anniversary vacation and we had three full suitcases to pack up to move into the new room. I only gave it four stars because the hotel back resort itself is beautiful. The rooms are beautiful and everybody else that we came in contact with throughout our weeklong stay was friendly and accommodating. They have a lot of amenities at this resort, including an infinity pool, a separate pool with a waterslide, numerous shopping stores within the lobby area a parking garage located directly next to the resort and two different bars and a restaurant within.

    Stayed at the Sheraton Waikīkī and loved it. The location is perfect since you're right on the beach and close to all the shops and restaurants. I had an ocean view balcony, and waking up to that view was unreal. The infinity pool is a highlight and sitting there with the ocean in front of you is amazing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the resort never felt too crowded even though it's big. Rooms are clean and comfy, but honestly the vibe and location are what make it. Quick tips: check in early if you want an ocean or Diamond Head view, grab breakfast at the poolside café, and stick around in the evening for the beachfront and nearby spots have a fun, relaxed nightlife vibe that's easy to enjoy without going far.

    The classic view.  From my balcony on the 18th floor.

    I grew up here so I'm not going to be as familiar with the hotels. But this Sheraton is a much older one and has always enjoyed a very prime location within Waikiki. This includes wonderful, classic views of the beach and Diamond Head, which I tried to capture in the attached picture. Honestly, the element which stood out to me the most was the massive elevator infrastructure - at least 10 of them in a oval cluster - so you're never waiting that long.

    This is a hotel that will make Waikiki feel like Waikiki. The views, the infinity pool, its beachfront, and the available amenities made my stay pleasant. Your room is an elevator away from the beach and a 3-minute walk away from Kalakaua Avenue. On-site, you can find a Honolulu coffee with excellent coffee, good pastries, and underperforming acai bowls. You'll appreciate this spot if your girl needs caffeine within minutes of waking up. Rumfire, their restaurant, is more of a tourist trap, but they will take care of an app and quick drink craving. Lawson Station is an ABC Store and 7-11 all-in-one. Whatever you need, it's there for a premium, but it's there. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they have comfortable beds and are well-maintained. Housekeeping did an excellent job of keeping the room clean and cared for on every day that was spent here. They're not on the "we only clean your room every other day" type of laziness that some hotels never got out of after the pandemic. The entire experience ranged from good to great. This is a safe choice for a more resort-feel stay in Oahu.

    I see that Sheraton Waikiki do not monitor these posts. 1st night, Concierge lady at 6 pm was rude as in she slammed her pen down and huff puff asking me what I want to know after a I asked "can I inquire about something?" After her irritation, I asked if she was closing soon and she said yes. I said "ok, no need to be rude. We can come back tomorrow." Wasn't a concierge suppose to help you with tours, restaurants etc when needed when they are working at their post? Apparently not here. They get paid to sit there and not talk to you. Resort fee. As soon as we got up the room. They started charging resort fee of $62 daily. Silly me, didn't read the fine prints. Their washers gets errors sometimes and I'm still waiting for my $12 refund from them. At first, they said that it didn't charge me but that was a lie. I came home and see 4 charges of $6 for that night. I'm surprise that their hallways are not air conditioned for this big of a hotel though. The hotels we stayed at always have air conditioned halls. The room were nice overlooking ocean after upgrade. She went from $150, to $100, to $80 a night before I gave in. Funny how they give you 50% discount after you say no. Hmmm We enjoyed the infinity pool. Though we were there early. It's never that packed. Feee white lounge chairs and towels. 1 day, they scanned your bracelet. The next time, they didn't. Very inconsistent. It's nice to have Lawson store inside the hotel. Grocery is easy. Very close to shopping center within a minute walk to everything. Tours do pick up and drop off at the hotel depending on which tour you're going with. So this post was dedicated to the lovely concierge that ruined our stay the first night we were there.

    Ask the Community - Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

    Can you park in the parking garage before you check into the hotel?

    Yes

    Do they give wristbands to small children? 5 and 7? For the pool?

    When you head to the pool, they will give those waterproof paper wristband at the towels. Waikiki has their own color, and the Royal Hawaiian hotel will have their own color. Everyone in your group will need one.

    You guys take parking validation?

    Yes

    Is there a rental car agency in the hotel?

    Avis car rental is at the Sheraton Waikiki.

    Has the Leahi Lounge reopened or will it reopen this year for 2023?

    It has reopened since 2023.

    Does Baskin robbins take parking validation?

    Not sure.

    Is the hotel pet friendly?

    Yes.

    This there live music at dinner kid friendly?

    Rum fire has live music I think, but it's for adults. But Royal Hawaiian across the street has family friendly live music. Same as International Market Place. They even have luau there. Hope this helps

    I need to do some Zoom meetings from the hotel during my stay. I heard the internet connection is kind of slow - what was others' experience?

    WiFi is decent, however if there are a lot of people on it during perk times it could slow. I brought my hotspot to avoid any issues.

    Do they offer shuttle service to and from the airport?

    I believe there is a a shuttle service that is shared across 3 other Marriott properties so it's not a direct one from HNL to the Sheraton Waikiki. I last read it's not a free shuttle either.

    Can you rent a cabana if your a hotel guest so you can have other mon hotel guests join you?

    You need to be a guest at the hotel to use the cabana's; they give you wrist bands when you check in.

    Anybody know where I can watch MNF game, A casual sport bar close to the Sheraton?

    Yard house is close by. I think cheesecake factory has a nice bar area too. Legends is a 5 min walk too.

    Is there a Spa on location and what is recommended for services there?

    No Spa on-site. They recommend the Spas at their sister property - Abhasa and the Royal Hawaiian!

    Is the water slide open now?

    Yes, the pools are super busy and filled with hotel guests.

    Do they give you wristbands?

    Yes, they do for the pool. :)

    Has anyone rented the water loungers, mini cabanas or luxury cabanas? If so, is it worth it?

    We did back in March. It was the only way to guarantee access to the pool as they limited people then due to COVID. If they are still restricting I highly recommend. Otherwise it's a personal preference.

    Do they offer shuttles to points of interest?

    I stayed there in late May. I rented two cabanas for $70 for the day totally worth it.

    Are there bathtubs in all rooms?

    We just stayed there, I believe so, bathtub with a hybrid shower head. You can shower and use it as a tub.

    Is their pool heated?

    No it is not

    Will the lounge reopen within the next 2-3months? Also, I'm reading a lot about gold/platinum…

    As of end of May it was still closed. I am titanium elite and there really was no difference with regards to lines.

This was a year ago, I didn't get a chance to until recently. I wanted to check out Sweet Mango's showroom which happens to be at The Pineapple Patio. From what I read, they do pop up events at The Pineapple Patio. The location of The Pineapple Patio is on South King St. right after the pet hospital and Central Pacific Bank. Stay on your far left lane as South King St. is one way. Make a left when you see State Farm Insurance. What I dislike about this place is the parking lot. Parking is very limited and very tight. I had a hard time parking my vehicle and hard time getting out. Once you find parking, you hit the buzzer for your pop up business and someone will come down to open the glass door for you. Walk up the stairs and you will see all the different vendors. During my visit to The Pineapple Patio, I had to pick up my son and was in a rush. I didn't get to browse around to the other vendors. What caught my eyes were all the plant and succulent across of the Sweet Mango's showroom, I wanted to check it out but had to leave right after. I will check it out when I have more time. Sweet Mango's products and showroom is so neat and organized. I loved the pineapple design prints on most of the merchandise, it is so nice and colorful. I had to get a pineapple print Turkish towel in green for me and a towel for my mom for Mother's day. Besides Sweet Mango Hawaii, some of the Vendors at the event were Tidepool Love, Kahulale'a, Aloha Dreamboard, and The Writing Desk.

Look for the pineapple sign on the left side of King Street. There are about 10 parking stalls underneath the patio and street parking on King Street. This place is used for small start up businesses such as clothing and jewelry. It's a good place to have pop up events on the open patio or in their room. Another thing that I'm thinking about is possibly holding a bridal shower here in the future. Looks like a perfect venue to rent out and cater food at. (Not necessary to get catering, but definitely an option) They also rent out their furniture and plants that they have showcased around the patio. Super cute place and hope to be back soon!

    As a child, I remember admiring and wondering who lived in this estate that borders Kapiolani Park…read more It was once known as the Winstead House that was built around the early-1900's. The estate was huge as it included horse stables, garages for horse-drawn carriages (later for automobiles), surrounded by undulating and well-manicured landscaping. The estate once extended from the intersection of Diamond Head Road and Paki Avenue to Kapahulu Avenue, around where Jefferson Elementary now stands. Back in 1992, the house was dedicated to the City and County of Honolulu. During 2003 - 2006, the C&C did a lot of renovation to the property and had a lot of concerns about its maintenance and use. Prior to its dedication by the Winstead descendants and the C&C renovation of this property, the Diamond Head Neighborhood Board held community meetings or gatherings. This property was also used as a backdrop to some local television shows..uh, anyone remember Magnum P.I.? To date, I don't know whether or not they have been permitted to continue using the space as such. Currently, there are offices that occupy its basement area by the Parks & Recreation administrative staff. All I can say is that if I worked in this facility, it would be very difficult to get any work done. I'd be wowed by the cool, gentle breezes, sunny blue skies and close proximity of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. But, that's what makes this property perfect for the Parks & Recreation to own and manage! #306

And then the MENS DOOR for their restroom is on the left and the WOMENS on the right. Ever the bathroom stalls were cozy. Toilet seats were nice and comfy, not those public restroom toilets.

Otherwise, the audience enjoys gentle trade winds, silhouettes of palm trees, and views of fluffy clouds, gorgeous sunsets, and sometimes... the silvery moon. There's a water feature on the far side of the courtyard, so if the sound bothers you, sit nearer to the entrance and away from the wall. Most events are free - just look for the community events online and print out your tickets! If the event you're interested in is a Brunch, the fee will be posted an you'll get a chance to try specialties of local restaurants, using a ticket system. There's ample free parking nearby and a beautiful, clean restroom on the ground floor of the "IBM Building". The co-ed sinks are a great idea for efficient use of this facility! Check it out!!!
