I had a really strange experience at this hotel. It's a Sheraton resort, beachfront, with a gorgeous beach.
However, it's all self-service. I had to park my own car and carry my own luggage. There simply weren't enough sun loungers for all the guests; you had to reserve them early in the morning, just like at cheap hotels in Turkey. And the loungers themselves didn't even have umbrellas! Unbelievable!
Room service brought food with, you won't believe it, the cheapest plastic forks and knives. Even on airplanes, you get better cutlery.
Beach towels had to be signed out. If you wanted an umbrella, a sun lounger with an umbrella was $100 USD, and a cabana was $250 USD per day.
As for the food in the restaurant, like most places in the US, it's very much for meat lovers with a caramel sauce, reminiscent of cheap motel diners.
Plus, on top of all this, you'll pay an additional $59 USD per night for Hawaii state taxes!
Seriously, don't be fooled by the Sheraton brand and its 5-star rating. At best, it's a 3-star equivalent, but it costs an arm and a leg.
