This hotel sits across the street from its sister property, the Sheraton 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 Sheratons, 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. Pros: In the heart of everything in Waikiki. Cons: No direct beach access, kid's activities offsite.

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.
