The Outrigger Reef on the Beach

Great Hotel in Waikiki

Having stayed at about 13 Waikiki hotels over the years, this rennovated Outrigger Reef is really the best place to stay on the beach. It is the right size hotel for starters. Not too huge, like the Hilton Hawaiian Village down the street, and the location of this makes it within walking distance of most of Waikiki. Parking is an issue. They do charge 25 a day for parking, but in Waikiki a car is not needed. There is plenty of transportation available. The ShoreBird restaurant has a great view, and the novelty of grilling your own food while looking at Diamond Head adds to the fun. The Pool area is vastly improved from before the rennovation. It really feels like a deluxe hotel now. In Waikiki, they don't have resorts like you will find on Maui, but this one is more that you will get at any of the hotels on Waikiki.

Great Value

Only problem was with the internet connection. Hotel Internet was terribly slow........ Thank goodness there is a Starbucks in the lobby!

Great hotel for the price

Had a great time at the hotel, live music every night, good food in the hotel restaurants.

One of the Best Hotels Ever

We had an excellent time at the hotel. The service was outstanding and the facilities were very clean. The location was outstanding. Just a few steps from the beach and just around the corner from all kinds of shopping and restaurants, if you don't want to eat at the wonderful restaurants inside the hotel. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. We didn't encounter one person with a bad attitude. We will definitely return to this hotel again.

Outstanding hotel - beachfront access

The hotel was very nice and the service was great. It had a small beach area with many amenities. The only downside was the construction going on opposite the hotel and the very small balconies.

Nice Stay

very nice,would stay again. only disappointment for us was the view or lack of it.elevators were very quick.

Like the remodel

Beach: Sand: Course grain with a few rocks. Walk down to the left (towards Outrigger Waikiki Beach) and you’ll see a stark difference where the sand turns to fine and smooth with very few rocks. Hotel Room: Ocean-Front rooms are 35’ long and 10’ wide. Some (like ours #618) have adjoining rooms, in case you are traveling with a larger group. The 5th floor and above Ocean-Front rooms have clear, unobstructed views of the Pacific. The are three palms that partially obstruct the views for the floors below the 5th, but I doubt they make much difference (maybe it looks even more Hawaiian from there). Lanai has a 24” round granite table with two wicker-back chairs (quite comfortable). Shampoo is a local Hawaiian Brand called Luxus and is Coconut/Lime for both the Shampoo and separate Conditioner. Body Soap is Coconut Oatmeal and the hand soap is coconut glycerin. In-room coffee is Royal Kona 10% Hawaiian Blend. There was no decaf in our room. Shower head is a detachable 2.5GPM Grohe, very effective and yes, there is a bathtub. Electric Hairdryer (is there any other kind?) Iron and Ironing board. Beds are Serta high-end Hotel style with very high thread count sheets. Layers go like this: Smooth sheet, thin white quilted comforter, thick sheet then the thick comforter for those cooler nights. There’s a 5 foot long couch that pulls out into a bed. Pillows feel like feather, but are actually hypoallergenic foam and very good.

Outstanding Hotel

Definitely the most bang for your buck on the beach. It's a beautiful new hotel with all the amenities. The only problem is that there is currently construction on the hotel next door. It wasn't too loud, but sleeping in was not really an option.

Great location

This hotel was in a really convienient location- a short walk from shopping and dining. I had asked for a city view, but our room viewed both the ocean and the city. It wasn't noisy either! I was prepared for a dirty , noisy city to look out on- and it was great! Nice little patio with chairs and a table. Rent chairs and an umbrella on the beach for $20 per day, and get a shave ice in the little food court just west of the hotel on the beach- one of the best we had on the island. Rooms are very nicely furnished, and clean. I was really impressed.

Outstanding Hotel

Beautiful hotel....will stay there again.
