We chose "Sheraton Waikiki" because it is in a good location. I decided to go to Hawaii with my family during the Bon holidays. Because It is located in the center of Waikiki, there are a lot of shopping malls and street stores around the hotel, so it is convenient for shopping, and the trolley stop is near, and you can move easily without walking around so much. In addition, there were restaurants and clothes, miscellaneous goods, souvenirs, shops such as Lawson in the hotel which was convenient.

Bathroom
The bathroom was clean, reasonably sized and comfortable. There was a wash basin on the right side of the bathroom, a toilet at the front, and a bathtub on the left side.
The bathtub was large enough to fill it up with hot water and lay in it.
The water pressure of the shower was perfect and the temperature of the hot water was stable and comfortable. It was very convenient as I could change the position of the shower head.
The toilet was also clean and shiny.
The wash basin was large and clean. The mirror was also large, and it was enough to use it with two adults.

Refreshing citron, perennial vetiver, organic aloe and vitamins are blended and it seems that it is unscented and paraben free. There were no body soaps and toothbrushes, so I purchased them locally. As I learned later, it seems that you can get the toothbrush at the front desk.
There were 4 bath towels. The towels were thick, but it was absorbent and it was very comfortable.
There was also a hair dryer. Wind power was strong enough.

Mini bar and cafe
There was a cafe corner on the desk between the beds. The cafe corner had a coffee maker, 2 bottled water, Kona coffee and tea. Kona coffee was so delicious that I drank it every morning.

“Sheraton Waikiki” is famous for the infinity pool. You can swim while looking at the sea. I could borrow a towels and a yellow float. I was allowed to take the towel out to the sea us long as I returned it to the hotel.
The infinity pool is located just a few feet below the sea level, giving you the feeling that the pool and the sea are connected.
There were a lot of deck chairs by the pool. You can also order drinks.
This is a pool for kids. The pool for kids was large, with sliders, and I could hear the children’s happy voices. It was lit up at night.

Environment around the hotel
In front of the hotel is Waikiki Beach. Because there is a diamond head on the left side, I was able to enjoy the picturesque view of Waikiki Beach.
Because there is a promenade, it is the nice to be able to walk while looking at the sea. The waves were high on this day, and sometimes the waves splashed on the promenade.
In front of Sheraton Waikiki is the “Royal Hawaiian Center,” one of the largest shopping centers in Hawaii, and it was a great location for shopping.
“Honolulu Cookie” and “ABC Store” at the “Royal Hawaiian Center. “

Staff and customer base
Everyone working at the hotel was very kind. When house keeping came to my room early in the morning when I was still getting dressed, I told her to com back in 30 minutes but she smiled and understood.
The guests age ranged from 20’s to 70’s. I felt that there were more families with children and older people. It’s an atmosphere that is good for families rather than for young people.

Access
It is easy to access from the airport. This time I went to the hotel from the airport with a shuttle which the travel agency prepared for us, and it took around 20-30 minutes. Because the area around the hotel is in the center of Waikiki, there are many shopping centers and restaurants, and it was very busy until late at night. The security is good, but the shops nearby will close at around 23 o’clock, so people will suddenly disappear.
Anyway, access is outstanding! There are so many places to shop and eat so I had trouble deciding where to start. There is a trolley stop right in front of the hotel, so it is very convenient for sightseeing in Hawaii.

Summary
“Sheraton Waikiki” is located in the center of Waikiki, and it is highly recommended to enjoy shopping, dining and the beaches around the hotel! The infinity pool was a great place to spend time. However, since it is a large hotel, there were a large number of guests staying, so I did not like the crowdedness. We have been to Hawaii many times, but depending on the purpose of the stay and the number of travelers, it is more likely that we will not choose to stay at this hotel.
