    Good location right in the middle of the strip and having Maui Brewery is a plus! Got an ocean view and was nice to sit on balcony enjoying it. The beach is across the street so just need to walk between hotel and your there. Pool is small but then again why swim in the pool when the ocean is right there.

    Beautiful morning

    One of the best experiences we had at this hotel. Outrigger Beachcomb Hotel is one of the best at Waikiki. The location was superb, right in the middle of everything, yet still managed to be calming and relaxing. The staff was wonderful, very friendly and knowledgeable. Very accommodating and caring. If anytime I go back to Hawaii that will be my stop again for sure. Rooms are nice and spacious, clean and had balcony which were an amazing bonus. Outrigger has few hotels there but our Beachcomber one was the absolute best, had an amazing coffee shop right on the first floor by the pool with wonderful employees and fresh food. Those Açaí Smoothies were a top notch yumminess. Miss the hotel and Hawaii, Waikīkī already. Never felt so much calm and kindness, the Earth just rests there with pride and kindness. That was my feeling and I will hold on to that every time I feel stressed at our busy and crazy streets of Los Angeles great just great experience at the wonderful resort/hotel

    CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ʻAUANA

    I came here to see the CIRQUE DU SOLEIL ʻAUANA show. Once you find the open area that has a giant and long escalator, that's the entrance. After you ride that up to the lobby area, they have some different stores. They had a bar, food place, help center, and then the theater. They sold popcorn at the bar and it was $10+ for a tiny box. It was ok popcorn, in my opinion not worth $10. The person at the help desk was extremely helpful. My mom needed help getting the ticket pulled up and he immediately knew where to look. Then the show before us was running late or something because the doors we're supposed to open a hour early but didn't open until like 10 minutes before so we had to wait a long time in a non moving line. When we actually got to the theater the sound was really good and there was lots of seating. The show was exactly 90 minutes as advertised but did feel longer. There were lots of exciting parts that kept it moving and it was very entertaining. There were some more boring (in my opinion parts) that led to 2 of our 5 members falling asleep around the middle of the show.

    I had a great experience at Beachcomber. I came to Waikiki for a wedding at the Wayfinder and I wanted to stay somewhere close but closer to the beach and a little more upscale. It's just a 7 minute walk to Wayfinder which is located behind this hotel close to the canal. I decided to make the most of my experience and got an ocean view on the 19th floor. It was beautiful! There are some hotels in between you and the ocean but you still see the beach and water. I preferred vintage coffee across the street over the aroma coffee in the lobby. The lowest ac setting was 65 and it felt much hotter. So I had trouble sleeping the first night. I called and they came and overrode the setting to be at 60, they said that's for VIPs. Lol. After that it was just right not too cold but not too hot. The circus du soleil is located in the lobby. Next time I'll probably stay at a different hotel due to the price plus the additional $300 resort fee charged at the end. Especially since I don't use any of the resort benefits: pool, gym etc. But it was a great first time in Waikiki experience.

    With this marking the sixth one I've stayed at and, unintentionally, maintaining my streak of staying at a different hotel every time I visit Honolulu (including the time I stayed at four on the same trip), it would seem I'm on my way to staying at every hotel in Waikiki. Ridiculously far from the worst thing in life, but I have to admit to feeling a bit like Goldilocks, as if in search of the hotel that feels just right. However, after this most recent trip, Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber might also mark the end of my streak! Based on my past experiences, among the things that we prioritized in our search for a hotel, beyond the usuals like cleanliness and value, was a newer/more modern property, a central location, a room with a balcony, and a decent sized pool. Thankfully, booking through Costco Travel provided us with a great value and the Beachcomber took care of nearly everything else. On-site, there are a couple of restaurants (a Hawaiian Aroma Caffe and Maui Brewing Company), a fitness center, coin-operated laundry room, a concierge desk that can help you book activities, valet parking (more below), sunrise yoga classes, a swimming pool with hot tub and "dive-in" movie nights, and even a Cirque de Soleil show. However, by far and away, the best thing about this place is its location - not only does it sit right on Kalakaua, but it's practically in the heart of it, with everything just a short walk away. Next door is a Macy's and the International Marketplace, across the street is the Royal Hawaiian Center, beach access is half a block away, and there are even more restaurants and retail shops in every other direction. As for our OCEAN VIEW KING ROOM, aside from some relatively minor quibbles, it was great! We had more than enough space for our needs and it came with all of the necessities - comfortable bedding/pillows, strong AC, stable Wi-Fi, a balcony with a table and chairs, fridge, and the usual staples (safe, hairdryer, iron, ironing board, soap dispensers, etc.). Sadly, the view of the ocean is only partial (we had to step onto the balcony and turn), but we spent most of our time on beaches anyways and the view of the International Marketplace/cityscape wasn't bad. Otherwise, other than the table inside being kind of small and how water would occasionally seep through a gap in the shower door, our room exceeded our expectations! Now, in the interest of fairness, I have to admit my rating might not have been as generous if not for the deal we got through Costco Travel. Between the pricing, the resort fees being waived, and the complimentary breakfast vouchers, we got a much better bang for our buck. That said, even if we had paid more, the staff made up for a lot, too. All of the front desk workers were so warm and friendly and the guys at the valet were dope. It's awesome how, once you've gotten a valet ticket, they will always have a space for you, even when their signage indicates the lot is full. However, what I really appreciated is how the guys offered to let us keep our car there even after we had checked out so that we wouldn't have to move our car elsewhere! One thing that I did find a bit unfortunate was that, despite having a water refill station in the lobby, they don't offer complimentary water bottles like how some hotels do to avoid guests from having to buy single use water bottles. Also, parking isn't cheap (~$55 per day), but it's pretty much the going rate for all hotels in Waikiki. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here the next time I'm on Oahu...and I will most definitely be back!

    Partial ocean view from our room

    We decided to do a staycation for our anniversary and picked this hotel. Why? The kama'aina rate was good with no resort fee and 1/2 rate off parking. Auana Cirque Du Soleil is in the same hotel as is Maui Brewing Company. Plus, across the street is the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, International Market Place is next door, and Waikīkī beach is a little walk away. We got a room with a partial ocean view. The room needed a little love, but nothing to make me not appreciate being there. The pool is small for the hotel size, but you can always walk to the beach. Overall, glad we picked this hotel.

    "Deluxe Ocean View" room is a joke... if this is "deluxe," I'd hate to see how small their non-deluxe rooms are. If this is their interpretation of "ocean view," I'd hate to see what the partial ocean view rooms could possibly see if they maybe hung off the balcony. The noise from the air conditioning units from a nearby building was pervasive as soon as the balcony door was opened. Zero ocean sounds. They had four elevators but somehow each elevator was always packed to the brim and stopped at many floors where people chose not to squeeze in. Other than that, the location is very central and convenient, with Duke's Waikiki just across the street, International Marketplace right next door, and the Cirque du Soleil show 'Auana right in-house. The desk staff were very competent and friendly too. The room itself was cleanish... but could have been cleaner. My sink wasn't completely clean when I checked in, and there was a piece of baseboard molding in the bathroom area that had cracked off and not been replaced/repaired. Overall it's decent, but I wouldn't stay here again. Would probably choose another hotel nearby. Maybe the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach across the street.

    Right across from the beach and tons of shopping near by. This is a great central hotel in Waikiki. Less than 5 min walk to the beach, great views if you have an ocean view room. Pool and gym are small, but you're near the beach, so lounge at the pool during down time but go enjoy the beach. You can check towels out (as many as you need) and take them to the beach elsewhere so that's a monster plus. This hotel is home to the new Cirque Du Soleil show, Auana. We didn't check it out but I kinda wish we had a few more days here to do so. There's a cafe/restaurant and a lot of the time, your reservation will include bfast vouchers, which includes a breakfast item and a drink, or you can upgrade some items for a few dollars. There's so much to eat nearby, and we used the vouchers for to go meals when we would venture out away around the island, but good food options. Like I said...Lots of shopping near by, the international market place is right next door and the last remnants of the Int'l marketplace vendors are right along the street next to the hotel. Service - staff is super friendly here and everything we needed we got with a smile. Parking - Valet only if you have a car, but they get your car very quickly when you're coming in and out. Loved our stay here and would DEF come again. Again, amazing location and overall a good hotel.

    Our timing wasn't very good, given that this hotel is undergoing a major renovation. There was no lobby so to speak. Yes, there was a check in desk. The front desk staff was friendly. The room was really large, but dated-- hence, why I'm sure the renovations are happening. I really appreciated the shower that could be hand held. Big plus! The location is perfect! You are right across the street from the International Marketplace. Walk 5-10 minutes in either direction to find parks and other major hotels on the beach. One thing we learned-- do not expect Happy Hours anywhere on Waikiki! I asked and was given a horrified look like "are you nuts"?! We booked through Costco Travel (highly recommend) where we got coupons for daily breakfast or lunch buffet at Duke's. We never did eat at Duke's for dinner, since the it seemed super busy. You have to make reservations WEEKS in advance, which we didn't. We were disappointed that we paid for the Voyager 47 Club benefits, only to find out that it's closed until October 2026. Costco Travel reimbursed us the $200 a day we paid for that, so we were happy.

    5 stars for the LOCATION - It's in the middle of everything, close to the beach, International Market, Royal Hawaiian Shopping & Stix! It's next to Duke's Lane market and an ABC. Cirque du Soleil Auana is on site which makes it so convenient. 3 stars for everything else. We were there for 2 weeks, escalators were broken almost every other day. Laundry room was hot and stuffy it's impossible to stay inside to wait for your clothes. Carpets in the room need to be replaced. Bidet was loose, shower kept leaking, toilet paper thin as heck. Don't expect Charmin. These don't faze me but just to give an idea that an upgrade to the rooms were due. However, housekeeping staff always friendly and accommodated requests. It's Hawaii, so I'm not complaining about resort fees and cost of the room. However, I also expect to get what I'm paying for. DEAL BREAKER: Pillows were stiff/bouncy and uncomfortable. Bed was not hard but it lacked comfort my back hurt the whole time. I did not feel rested when I wake up each morning which depleted the purpose of a vacation. Saving grace was my view from my balcony. For over $400+ per night, I'll go somewhere else next time.

    I am so shocked that this hotel doesn't have 5 stars from everyone. It shows like a higher end hotel with a beautiful lobby area that opens up to a pool, Maui Brewing company, and an Aroma Cafe that is perfect for breakfast, coffee, and pool food. Our room was really nice and had fun decor. You're right in the middle of everything in Oahu - right near the International Market and a block from the beach. On top of all that we got a killer rate because we booked through Costco Travel, which included breakfast vouchers at the Aroma Cafe. We could basically walk everywhere and the staff at the front desk was so helpful with everything. They even have a weekly movie night at the pool! I would definitely recommend coming back to this hotel.

    There are many hotel choices in Waikiki for all budgets. We opted to stay at the Outrigger Beachcomber based on it being moderately priced and its location, location, location. We did get a room with an ocean view on the 23rd floor so that was pretty sweet. Pros: Rooms are clean and staff is friendly. It is located right in the center of Kalakaua, the Main Street in Waikiki and is centrally located to restaurants and close to the direct Waikīkī Beach access. It is a hop, skip and a jump to the International Market Place and right across the street from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. The location is key for this hotel without breaking the bank too much. Cons: if you're looking to lay by the pool, the pool and pool area is very small and underwhelming. Rooms have terrible lighting unless you're into dim lighting and they do not have microwaves which is normally standard in most hotel rooms (although you can rent one for $10 a day). Hotel rooms are pretty standard but comfortable. Definitely worth staying here based on location alone.

    Restrooms not for the public.

    Ask the Community - Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel

    Is there a hospitality suite?

    How many beds are in the 2 bedroom suite? Is it just 2 beds (king or queen) or is there a sofa bed too?

    I checked in here August 13. We had a junior suite which had 2 kings and a sofa bed.

    Coffee pot type coffee maker, or keurig?

    It's Keurig!!!

    Is there shuttle service available?

    No shuttle service

    Do any of the rooms have bathtubs?

    i'm not sure about the other ones but the one we stayed out didn't :) just a shower

    Is there self-parking or only valet?

    Only valet parking.

    What is kamaaina rate total with taxes?

    Not really unless you're willing to drive around and walk up to a mile--then you might be able to find something.

    I believe it's 9-6 pm. The people at the front desk will tell you when you check-in. You need to reserve in advance though. You can't just go to the pool.

    Is the hotel still under construction?

    No... hotel is BEAUTIFUL and modern. Love the details.

    Embassy suites Waikiki 2123…read more Bed - nice and comfy. Little movement from partner. Mattress was a Serta Perfect Sleeper Plush mattress. Hotel offers different types of pillows in the room and spare blanket in armoire. Also in the armoire is hangers, an ironing board and steaming iron, which came in handy for those wrinkled linen shirts mashed in my suitcase. The Bathroom. - one sink with a little counter top space but sufficient. The toilet was also bidet in the master bath. The shower pressure on 21st is ok but low, but it did the job. The Ac in room was awesome! It gets super cold, if you need it, quickly. It was nice for those hot humid days of walking in Waikiki. It had an In-room mini fridge and bar sink with 4 real drinking glasses, which I like. Hated there was no freezer in the mini fridge But the bell hop station offers to freeze ice packs, or whatever you need, for you. We had 3 sliding doors with west views and moderate views of Waikiki beach. The Second bedroom has own bath with also a single sink, toilet and shower- No bidet. The room/bedding/bathrooms were clean with no mold in the showers. The furniture showed a little wear but nothing excessive. The Elevators were fast! The pool, mangers reception and breakfast are all on the 4th Floor (terrace level). Breakfast was typical of Embassy Suites, I like the made to order omelette which makes it much better. Lots of fresh fruit and even some miso soup and other Japanese/Hawaiian offerings. The Staff was awesome and super friendly. I Used valet every day. Great service, fast and practical IMO but hard to swallow the daily fee. The hotel was attacked to the Waikiki beach walk. Island vintage coffee was a regular stop for coffee and sometimes breakfast. Order coffee or food to go online after 8am to save a ton of time standing in line. Hotel was Very close to all ththe shops. Awesome location. Much better location than Hilton Hawaiian village location!!! Our fav restaurant close by the hotel was Kana Pilla and Monkey Pod, which were across the street. Make sure to make Open Table reservations for both way ahead of time. I did mine 2 months out. Housekeeping willing to clean and supply new towels daily however linens are not cleaned but every 5 day, unless you request it, which they are happy to do! Views from 21st floor were awesome and all 21st floor rooms had extensive balconies. 3 sliding doors. Keep in mind Ac doesn't work, yes the fan blows, when the doors are open!! It's too humid at night to sleep with them open so we had them open for select times, mostly am. There's a Washer/dryer laundry room on site, 3rd floor only. It was Very convenient especially packing 4 days of clothes for a 10 day trip so our suitcases weren't stuffed . Use laundry room on sundays/mon or late evenings when people are too busy arriving and leaving. $5.25 to each wash load and I think $4.75 to dry. Washers only wash with cold which I like. Perm press on dryer seemed to dry all our shirts and socks well. We hung our nice Aloha shirts on the hangers in the room and they dried within a day. Washer and dryers take credit cards. Yes they're is a soap machine that also takes credit cards. I didn't use and just bought soap from ABC. ABC stores are EVERYWHERE so don't lug around suntan lotion or waters in your suitcase. Just buY at ABC which is only 20 steps away. FYI ABC doesn't no GIVE out bags for items unless you spend over a certain amount. ANC bags cost like .50 cents. ABC has Awesome poke and alcohol (spirit and beer) choices. Yes single purchase tall beers too. Don't forget the free brief fireworks show in front of the Hilton Hawaii Village on Friday nights only. We saw them set off at 7:45p by the lagoon. It's amazing how many people attend so be prepared for the crowds to and from. Big tip: make open table reservations for all your restaurants months ahead! All places are super busy until about 8:45 pm on most nights. Hope I helped.

    Halepuna Hotel This…read moreis a review of my experience staying at the Halepuna Hotel, located in Waikiki. I booked my stay via Costco Travel recommendations. WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering. The tub was also spacious, if you wanted to take a bubble bath. 8TH FLOOR GYM-Equipped with a lot of machines Water dispenser Additional restrooms/shower room LAUNDRY ROOM is open 24/7 There are 3 washers and 4 dryers You can pay using your credit card or download the WASH CONNECT app *Friendly suggestions: -As a guest, bring your own laundry soap/dryer sheets--or go to the ABC Store if you forget your laundry supplies -Make sure to clean the lint trap before you put your clothes in -Put a timer on your phone to check on your clothes GARDEN -Serene, tranquil, peaceful, spacious -------- Friendly Suggestions for Halepuna Hotel -Have a big sign stationed outside the hotel, perhaps elevate the height of the sign and add lights to it, so it's easy to spot for first time visitors ------- All in all I enjoyed staying at the Halepuna Hotel.

The Halekulani bakery is downstairs, Starbucks is not too far away. Sheraton and Royal Hawaiian Shopping center just a little ways away. There's an ABC Deli right next door and that is very convenient!!! The rooms were clean and the bed and pillows were great! The hotel rooms actually start on the 8th floor (above the Halekulani parking). Nothing to complain about - this is a very fine hotel. Great stay!

    Still our favorite hotel for our family staycation! We've been coming to Hilton Hawaiian Village…read morefor years and have stayed in just about every tower except one, and we've enjoyed each experience. We're not high-maintenance travelers--we simply appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time together, and every stay here creates lasting memories. One of our favorite conveniences is the ABC Stores on the property. They're reasonably priced and have surprisingly good sushi and poke bowls for a quick meal. This summer visit was noticeably busier than our fall stays. The pools were definitely crowded, and the village was packed with tourists. While people say tourism is down, that certainly wasn't our experience--it felt very lively throughout our stay. Instead of driving, we used Lyft to visit the Waikīkī International Market Place, which ended up being much cheaper than paying for parking and was well worth it. During this trip, we stayed in the Kalia Tower and loved our room's view overlooking the ocean, lagoon, harbor, and even the marketplace below. My husband also enjoyed using the fitness center. He mentioned it was busiest in the mornings and mid-afternoons, so evenings seemed like the best time to work out. One of the highlights of our stay was our daily feathered visitor--a pigeon that stopped by to greet us every day, which became a fun little tradition. Overall, we had another wonderful stay and made more great family memories. We're already looking forward to coming back again next year!

    We booked a stay in the Ali'i tower which is advertised as sort of a boutique hotel and a "hotel…read morewithin a hotel." We had an oceanfront king room which had a great view of the ocean. The bed was obviously not a king, however, and was clearly a queen. The room itself was large but overall felt dated and sterile. There was minimal decor and large sections of empty wall space. The bathroom was decent but similarly dated - the bathtub was clearly from the 80s or 90s as it had no non-slip texture and instead a very gross nonstick mat was provided. The towels were old and paper thin. Staying in the Ali'i tower (which means royalty in Hawaiian) affords you access to a private pool and bar and fitness center. The pool was small and decent, and the staff at the bar (which closes at 430pm except on fireworks nights) were very friendly. The hotel property is quite large with various retail and dining options throughout. Overall, however, it is dated. The room televisions have no streaming options - you cannot access YouTube, Netflix, etc. There is not even an option to view your current room account on the television which is standard at almost any modern hotel today Most of the staff are quite friendly, but this property needs an update into the 21st century.

One of the important standards I look for in a hotel stay, is a focus on supporting locals. For me, if there's a Starbucks in the lobby, then I'm already disappointed. This hotel has one of my favorite local chain cafes, Honolulu Coffee Company. The only local café that has consistently made perfect crema foe decades. Starbucks baristas are not trained for this. The hotel also has restaurants with lots of local flavor. The sushi buffet is amazing but difficult to get a reservation on the weekends. 100 Sails also has a buffet though ordering ala cart seemed like the best choice for us. Best place to view the Friday fireworks. Our only disappointment was how much street noise we could hear throughout the night, even though we were on the 28th floor.

We booked the Club Premier package, and we felt it was worth it because breakfast at 100 Sails Restaurant on the 3rd floor was excellent every morning. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is not included with your stay and must be paid for separately, which is something to factor into the overall cost. One big concern was the snacks on the 5th floor. We came across moldy bread, which was definitely concerning. I would think the staff would check the food before putting it out, especially considering this is not a cheap hotel. I loved that we could grab coffee every morning from Honolulu Coffee without having to leave the hotel. The lines can get long, but the service is fairly quick. The staff, overall, were not very welcoming and often seemed serious. However, on Monday, June 29, there was an older woman who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She really stood out and made us feel appreciated. One other issue was that the body wash in our room was never refilled, so we ended up not having any during our stay. We also requested a later check out and our key cards aren't working. The front desk never mentioned anything about need to change keys cards if we had a later check out and now we're outside our rooms having to go back downstairs and change our key cards. And they were making it complicated because they wanted my drivers license even though it's in the room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the beautiful views, great amenities, and delicious breakfast made it a memorable family vacation.

The front desk staff were very kind and helpful especially during the situation where our room was facing the construction across the street which ended up being a little loud for us so we had requested a new room away from that side and they had a room ready for us in 10 minutes with someone who came to move our luggage. Rooms were nice and clean and spacious we stayed in the diamond tower facing part of the parking garage with a view of part of the beach! It was still great to sit out on the balcony and watch the hustle and bustle of Waikīkī along with the sounds & views of the ocean! The location was across the street from the beach. They also have free beach towel dispenser which really came in handy but make sure you return it before midnight to avoid a charge! Lol. The parking garage was a little questionable as it is very tight and hard to find parking especially late at night so valet might be your best option or alerting the staff that there is no spot for self park they'll usually work something out to make sure you get one.

The valet staff was friendly and efficient and everyone we interacted with was welcoming. Unfortunately, the room didn't match what I'd expect from a Hyatt Regency. There was a leaking bathroom faucet, a chipped sink, rust and water damage around the bathroom door, dark buildup around the shower fixture, heavily stained blackout curtains, visible dust and debris under the bed and dark spotting inside the bathroom vanity where clean towels were stored. The room also had numerous scuffs, patched walls and signs of deferred maintenance throughout. The location and staff saved the stay, but the condition of the room fell well below the standard I'd expect from this brand, especially at this price point.

La Mer is a one of a kind French experience and Orchids is fantastic for any meal of the day. Just outside the hotel is a delightful oceanfront park where the hotel hosted yoga each day. A highlight for me. Great poolside service. The beach is small, so if you are looking to lounge on the beach, that's not really much of an option. This hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you know it has the highest standards. That brand has never steered me wrong. And the fact that it is not under a massive hotel chain umbrella means it can maintain its authentic individuality. Pro tip: if you have a late flight, there is a lounge where you can relax and prepare for your departure, as check out is 11am.

The restroom is in the restaurant area. I never once left the restaurant throughout the entire evening. I was simply on my way to pick up my drink from the seating area and then head to the bar to pay. He told me I was "going the wrong way" when the way I was going would have led to me to the bar... The way this team handles tabs in this bar is abysmal. Right when I sat down, I was attempting to give my bartender my credit card to start a tab. They refused to accept my card and said don't worry about it, and that they'll take it after I'm done. I explicitly told the bartender that I was going over to the lawn right next to the bar (still in the restaurant area) to get a better view of the musical performance, drink in hand. They said go ahead. Nobody should be treated like this

I slept like a baby in the king sized bed! I also liked how there was a small kitchen with cookware and a microwave. We were celebrating a minimoon and were gifted a bottle of champagne, a bar of chocolate, and a lovely fruit platter. Service was impeccable, from check-in to dining to pool service. Breakfast was included in our stay and the food was quite impressive. Not only do you get the breakfast buffet, but you get to order as many small plates as you'd like (mind you, they're already quite filling), and one large plate. You can also take your leftovers to go. Honestly, I would eat breakfast and be set until dinner most days. At the pool, they also brought around ice cream or smoothies to keep guests refreshed. They did so pretty frequently. The pool was also never super busy, which was nice as we just came from another hotel where the pool was constantly packed. You do get a small view, but it's mostly blocked by other buildings. There's a decent gym that also was never super busy. It's on the same floor as the spa. We contemplated treatments, but ultimately never went.

Great location, very accessible to stores and the beach, and also secluded in a sense you're not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. We came as a family of three. Not only did they gave us a warm welcome, but they provided plenty of accommodations for our baby. A baby robe which was the cutest, but also a diaper genie baby bath tub and toiletries. We were so impressed! The room views were amazing and our room was upgraded which was a super plus! Breakfast was amazing! Our favorites were their mochi pancakes. They did have construction during our stay, but nothing to really get in our way. The service and accommodation were amazing! Thank you for our great stay Ka La'i! See you hopefully soon!

    This is my 2nd time staying in Waikiki. We wanted a beach front hotel so we decided on Outrigger…read moreReef for a full week. To start off, I'd give the resort a solid 4/5, no more, no less. The location? It's great because it is literally beach front; however, it is on the southern most edge part of that beach area. This means that the beach right outside is jam packed with tourists coming and going and you would have to walk a decent ways up the beach to find a spot. Regardless, a beach front is a beach front so it's nice to get down there quick and enjoy the beach. The hotel is in a great spot in Waikiki because there are tons and tons of shopping stores and food areas within a 15 minute walk so you never really have to drive out. Monkey Pod restaurant down below has great reviews and is delicious, but I personally think their menu is quite small. They also have a pool side bar/cafe that serves drinks, snacks, and meals and is a secondary pool-side restaurant. They play music down there every night. It's very calm, quaint, and peaceful to enjoy a night in the hotel. Unfortunately, the prices of their drinks are ridiculously overpriced. $17 for a Mai Thai not including tip. Insane. The room? I would say pretty average for any decent hotel. It was clean, the bed was good, the pillows were nice and big. The balcony is small, but can sit two people to enjoy the outside. The down side is the rooms of the two towers of the hotel face each other. So you don't get a beach front view unless you pay the big extra for those rooms. My biggest gripe about the room was the shower. The whole 7 days the water would change from warm, hot, very hot, rinse and repeat every few seconds. The price? Very expensive, but that's the price you pay for a beach front hotel PLUS it being on Waikiki beach. There's probably not big deals/sales unless you buy it through Costco Travel which is what I did which saves you probably a couple hundred at the very least. Valet is automatically included which is another 60 per night (not including whatever few bucks you tip them whenever you go out) so this would easily rack up your bill. I'd say the closest free parking is at least a 20 minute walk one way. Despite my rating the hotel a 4/5, would I recommend this spot? It depends. If you are a newcomer to Oahu and want to experience the casual, tourist experience of Oahu, want that beach front hotel, and have the cash, I would recommend this. If you are not a newcomer, there are many other hotels that will suit many other tastes. And honestly, staying at any other hotel outside of Waikiki is probably best if you want to really save on money and see better beaches.
