The hype
The pools and views are world-class, but the sheer size of the property makes it feel like a crowded theme park.
Sheraton Waikiki
$450-700/ νύχτα
Κρατήστε αυτό αν You want the most iconic infinity pool in Waikiki and don't mind fighting 1,600 other people for a lounge chair.
Γιατί Το Αγαπούν
- The 'Edge' infinity pool is arguably the best adult swim spot on Oahu
- Renovated rooms are modern, clean, and maximize space efficiently
- Central location means you can stumble to Royal Hawaiian Center or the beach in minutes
Γρήγορη Ματιά: A massive, high-energy machine that processes tourists efficiently but lacks the soul of its historic neighbors.
Αξιολόγηση από @willianaashley: I was blown away by the view from my balcony—it felt like I was floating right over the Pacific. Spending the day at the Edge Infinity Pool was the highlight of my trip; the water blends perfectly with the ocean. It’s easily the most photogenic spot I've ever stayed.

Reality check
Elite breakfast benefit is widely panned as 'lame'—think yogurt and a pastry, not a full buffet.
- You prioritize a killer pool scene over a quiet, secluded beach
- You are traveling with kids who need water slides (Helumoa Playground is excellent)
- You want a modern, renovated room with reliable A/C and fast Wi-Fi
Καθαριότητα & Συντήρηση
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though sometimes 'tidying' replaces deep cleaning.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern Toto washlets in every room are a huge plus. Grout is usually clean, but watch for mold in corners.
- Maintenance: Renovated rooms feel fresh. Balconies show some wear from salt air (peeling paint/rust).
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and plentiful. Pool towels are easily accessible via towel cards.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like sunscreen and flowers; some rooms have a lingering musty/AC smell.

“I would love a high-floor Oceanfront room (floors 15+) to minimize pool noise and maximize the view. If possible, please avoid the rooms directly facing the elevator landing.”
Συχνές ερωτήσεις & Κρυμμένες συμβουλές
Όλα όσα πραγματικά θέλεις να ξέρεις πριν κάνεις κράτηση.
Is there a beach directly in front?
No. There is a seawall. You have to walk about 2 minutes next door to the Royal Hawaiian's beach to touch sand.
How much is the resort fee and what does it cover?
Approx. $62/night. Includes GoPro rental (1 day), cultural classes (ukulele, lei making), MiFi rental, and fitness classes.
Is the infinity pool heated?
Yes, but it's adults-only (16+). Families must use the Helumoa Playground pool.
Can I get a pool chair easily?
No. Free chairs are first-come, first-served and go fast (line starts before 8 AM). You can rent reserved chairs/cabanas for a fee.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
No free shuttle. You'll need an Uber/Lyft (~$35-50) or a paid shuttle service from HNL airport.
Is breakfast included?
Not standard. Platinum elites get a 'continental' option (yogurt/pastry) that many find disappointing; upgrade to full buffet is ~$20 extra.
Εσωτερικές Συμβουλές
- ✨
The 'Oceanview' category can be tricky—some rooms look sideways at the Royal Hawaiian. 'Oceanfront' guarantees the full water view.
- ✨
Use the 'Share' elevator bank if you're just going to the lobby—it's often faster than the main bank during peak times.
- ✨
Don't buy the expensive sunscreen at the hotel shop; walk 2 minutes to the ABC Store on Lewers St for half the price.
5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The elevators have no buttons inside—you select your floor at a kiosk in the lobby (smart dispatch system).
💡You can watch the Royal Hawaiian's luau for free from the balcony of the Sheraton's oceanfront rooms.
💡The 'wet dog' smell in the AC units is a recurring complaint in otherwise clean rooms.
💡The wristband room key is a game-changer—no more de-magnetized cards or worrying about where to put your key while swimming.
💡The 'adults-only' pool rule is strictly enforced—lifeguards will whistle at kids trying to sneak in.
