"An upgrade from the cramped standard rooms is worth it at this 125-room beachfront hotel in a mellow area a half-mile outside of Waikiki."

"For a little more privacy and seclusion, the New Otani offers well-kept, small rooms and its own beach about a half mile from the throbbing heart of Waikiki."

"Although the rooms at this boutique hotel are small, the fabulous location on Sans Souci Beach... more than makes up for them."

"Intimate, Japanese-toned beachfront hotel half a mile east of central Waikiki."
Star Service
"An unusual offshoot from this usually business-centric chain, Waikiki’s New Otani boasts a breezy tropical backdrop and one of the best beachfront locations in Waikiki."

When booking, be sure to "reserve" a parking space, because the parking lot has a limited number.

"Step into the stylish lobby of Bamboo and you'll feel soothed. Bamboo is a decent choice, especially if you cop a discount rate."

"Perhaps the hotel’s best feature is its pool area, which is surrounded by bamboo and tropical plants, and is adjacent to the two-room spa."
