My husband and I were fortunate enough to book our six night Oahu, Hawaii stay at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach Hotel. When we arrived we were early, and had to wait a bit. The hotel staff graciously helped keep our luggage while we waited for our room. Then we met the hotel concierge, Kalani, one of the best gifts of our visit. We sat down to talk to him about our wishes for our stay, and he was extremely helpful. He took the time to answer our questions and helped us book excursions, those being; Pearl Harbor, Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing, a day at Hanauma Bay for snorkeling and more. He suggested and help sign us up for some of the free hotel provided activities; Flower Leis, Ribbon Leis, Story Telling, Ukulele Lessons – there are several more but we did not have the time.
The housekeeping staff was also amazing...somehow they found out that this was our 50th wedding anniversary trip and when we got to our room we found it decorated with towel swans and rose petals on the bed, along with some special Hawaiian treats. We were so surprised and delighted.
The hotel is very close – 5 minute walk – from the beach, excellent restaurants and shops. And the tour bus stops are very close as well.
The restaurant at the hotel was excellent, we ate there several times...an amazing pork sandwich, nachos, and drinks. And every night they had a local talent playing music. We liked it very much...much more than canned music. The restaurant is located right by the pool, which provided a beautiful setting.
That being said, looking back at our wonderful experience, our trip to Oahu, Hawaii would not have been the same without the hotel concierge Kalani, and our stay at the Princess Kaiulani.
