I’ve recently had the opportunity of staying at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani in Waikiki with my family. This hotel is moderately priced and has a great location. Although it is not on the beach, it is right across the street with a very short walk.
We stayed in a City View room with 2 double beds. They offer various room categories with different views.
The rooms come with either 1 king bed or 2 double beds. Most rooms come with a work desk, internet access, telephone with voicemail and a data port, air conditioning, cable television with movie channels, a coffee maker, a refrigerator and an in-room safe.
They have a total of 1,150 rooms including 10 suites. This is a nice size property with 2 restaurants, a lounge and the show “Creation – A Polynesian Journey”.
The Pikake Terrace is a casual outdoor restaurant (near the pool) that offers a breakfast and dinner buffet as well as an ala carte menu.
Momoyama offers authentic Japanese cuisine. This restaurant is open for dinner nightly from 5:45pm to 9:30pm. A keiki (child) menu is also available.
“Creation – A Polynesian Journey” is a dinner and cocktail show offered on property. With the use of the latest laser tech lighting, pyrotechnics, and a new digital sound system, the Ainahau Showroom takes guests to a magical place in Polynesia’s past. From the mystery of their creation, through their voyages of the Pacific, Tihati Productions incorporates Hawaii’s premier entertainers, lavish costumes, spellbinding drama and illusions that leave one awe struck and wanting for more.
Magic fills the air as the journey continues through the Marquesas Islands and the delicate princess Titikua vanishes into thin air. In Samoa, the hearty laughter of celebration is topped with a spectacular fire knife dance.
This show is available five nights a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Adult ticket prices are $124 for the Premium Dinner, $78.00 for the Standard Dinner, $45.00 for Cocktail Show. Seating times 6:00 p.m. for dinner, 7:00 p.m. cocktail seating (show from 7:15 p.m.). Children’s (5-12 years old) prices are Premium Dinner $93.25, Standard $58.50, Cocktail Show $45.00 (adult price) Children under 5 years of age are complimentary when accompanied by an adult paying the full dinner price.
Premium Dinner includes preferred seating, flower lei greeting, two beverages of your choice, filet mignon, lobster and much more. A special show souvenir is also included.
Standard Dinner includes a lavish buffet selection featuring carved prime rib, baked chicken, sautéed Mahimahi and other hot entrees, an assortment of Maki sushi, pasta salad, tossed greens, fresh fruits and a dessert bar. A tropical Mai tai cocktail or choice of soda, draft beer, coffee or tea is included in the dinner price.
The cocktail show offers a choice of two standard drinks or one exotic cocktail.
The Pikake Lounge is the perfect place to unwind. Sip tropical drinks poolside and enjoy nightly entertainment under the stars.
Cocktails are served daily from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Delightful Hawaiian music is performed at the lava rock stage (poolside) daily from 6:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. From 9:30 to 11:30 p.m., you can enjoy the mellow sounds of a solo guitarist.
There are a lot of shopping and dining options nearby this hotel. There are also independent vendors on property. These vendors sell locally made souvenirs from Hawaii and other Polynesian Islands.
Westin Kids Club is available to families with children ages 5 to 12. The Westin Kids Club is located at the Moana Surfrider (directly across the street).
The hotel offers different events/activities such as free pineapple tasting in the lobby and children can feed the Koi fish on property.
My children enjoyed themselves, they love swimming in the pool and feeding the fish!
