"As Waikiki's first hotel, the 1901 plantation-style oceanfront Moana Surfrider offers a dose of historic charm on one of the nicest -- albeit most congested -- stretches of Waikiki Beach." Full review

"The hotel's selling point is the historic main building: non-guests as well as guests are free to sit on the nostalgic, front-porch rocking chairs." Full review

"This 10-story, multiwing hotel—the tallest on Kauai since opening in 1986...superlatives include Kauai’s largest swimming pool, a sort of Greco-Roman fantasy that would fit in at Hearst Castle" Full review
