Awesome views! Nice to be beachside rather than traffic side, as at both Marriotts and the Hyatt. I will probably give Sheraton a try my next time in Waikiki, especially after a lackluster stay last time at HHV.

I'm always a bit skeptical when agents justify a negative change by blaming "corporate." I believe the properties themselves retain discretion on these matters, and that the decision to charge a resort/destination fee in the first instance is purely up to the property.

I do know they intermittently waive the resort fee for me at the Camelback Inn, and that property's owned by the Marriott family.
