"This is our third stay at Princess Kaiulani. The location is unbeatable. We did notice the mugs and glasses are now paper and plastic cups, which is not environmental friendly. There was always a long wait at the lifts due to construction. Parking was easy although it cost a hefty $45 per day. We enjoyed the cultural activities and fish feeding. We have fond memories of this hotel and will come back again."
