Honolulu, Honolulu

Star rating

The hotel

Set against the majestic Ko’olau Mountains and overlooking Waikiki Beach, this Sheraton hotel is a real slice of heaven. With sun, sea and sand on your doorstep, indulge in water sports, land sports, wining and dining or simply stake your place in the shade and relax. There are two incredible oceanfront pools: an infinity pool for the adults, a very serene place, or family-friendly Helumoa Pool where the kids can splash to their hearts content. If a spot of pampering appeals, head to Spa Khakara for a couples massage or an individual beauty treatment. Hungry? Kai Market serves farm-to-table fare that showcases the flavours of Hawaii perfectly. It also enjoys amazing views of Diamond Head and the Pacific – a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds! Alternatively, Rum Fire is the sensuous new spot for tapas and cocktails – boasting the country’s largest selection of vintage rum and playing live island melodies each evening. The Edge of Waikiki lives up to its name – set on the beach, it’s the perfect spot to admire the sunset over a tropical thirst quencher.

Beautiful hotel…our room was incredible and the location was perfect. We enjoyed breakfast by the water every morning and drinks at the bar at night. The service all around was excellent. Sandy and Trina in the amenity store were awesome! Thank you!

Trina and Sandy in the gift shop were so warm and welcoming. They made a weary traveler from the mainland, and his wife, so happy and positive. I’ve been to many Marriott’s around the globe and the Sheraton Waikiki has been wonderful so far. Thank you so much!!

We booked and paid for an Oceanfront Room at Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort, expecting a premium view of Waikiki Beach. What we got instead: a view of another hotel building and overgrown trees—with no ocean in sight. When we raised the issue, the front desk insisted three times that this was an oceanfront room. Only after we firmly pushed back—mentioning we had stayed here before and knew what a real oceanfront view looked like—did they suddenly “find” the correct room type with the view we had paid for. That room was magically available all along. It didn’t feel like a mistake. It felt like they were hoping we wouldn’t question it. Sketchy, misleading, and not okay for a resort of this level. If you’re staying here: • Take photos of your view immediately. Compare it with what was advertised. • Push back if something’s off. Don’t let vague reassurances stand. • Be polite, but firm. You have the right to the room you paid for. • Know that service isn’t proactive. Unlike what you expect, you can’t expect hospitality without speaking up. Holding the front desk accountable doesn’t just protect your experience—it improves it for future guests, too. ⸻ シェラトン・ワイキキ・ビーチ・リゾートでオーシャンフロントの部屋を予約・支払いしました。 しかし案内されたのは、隣のホテルと手入れされていない木々の景色。海はまったく見えませんでした。 フロントに確認したところ、3回にわたり「これがオーシャンフロントです」と言い張られました。 しかし「以前も宿泊していて本当の眺望を知っている」と伝えて粘ると、突然「正しい部屋」が**“たまたま”見つかる**という展開に。 最初から空いていたなら、なぜ出さなかったのか? 手違いではなく、黙っていればそのまま済まそうとしていたのでは…と疑いたくなる対応でした。 宿泊予定の方へのアドバイス: • チェックイン直後に景色を確認し、写真を撮っておく。 • 違和感があればすぐにフロントに伝える。 • 遠慮せず、丁寧かつはっきり主張することが大切。 • 日本と違い、黙っていても対応してくれるとは限りません。 声を上げることが、自分の体験を守るだけでなく、次の宿泊者への改善にもつながります。 Read less

The hotel was very busy during our stay, but overall, we had a really good experience. The location is excellent—everything you need is close by, including shops, restaurants, and attractions. One of the highlights of our stay was our housekeeper, Roger. He was incredibly helpful, always cheerful, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. His positive attitude really made a difference and added a personal touch to our visit. It’s not often you come across such genuinely kind and happy staff. Thanks to Roger and the central location, our trip was convenient and enjoyable. Read less
