Occupying two 30-story towers, this is by far the biggest of the four beachfront Sheratons. The lobby is immense and filled with shops, travel desks, and people, including loads of conventioneers. If you're not comfortable with crowds, book elsewhere. However, size has its advantages: The Sheraton has everything from a fabulous kids' program (boogie boarding, kite flying, nightly movies) to historical walks and cooking demonstrations for Mom and Dad. Plus, you can "play and charge" (it back to your tab) at Waikiki's other Sheraton hotels.
It's hard to get a bad room here. A whopping 1,200 units have some sort of ocean view, and 650 rooms overlook Diamond Head. Accommodations are spacious, with big lanais for taking it all in. In 2007, Sheraton renovated each room with a minimalist design, adding a "Sweet Sleeper" bed, a big LCD flatscreen TV, and high-speed Internet ($14 per day). For the budget-conscious, the Sheraton Manor Hotel occupies a separate adjacent wing and offers all the services and beachfront of the main hotel. The views aren't the best, and the rooms are small and modestly appointed (no lanai), but the price is hard to beat.
