I treated my brother to a 6 day trip to Honolulu, Oahu. We arrived at the hotel and were immediately greeted, registered, ... upgraded and sent off to our room. It had a view of the ocean even though we only booked a street room. The staff couldn't have been nicer, nor more prompt when I called for extra pillows. The hotel is one of the originals on the beach, which is why we booked it. We wanted the flavor of a well travelled hotel with lots of history set right smack dab in the middle of Waikiki. We loved our stay. Walking right out onto the beach was a plus for us, strolling across the street to the International market for our souvenirs made our shopping easy. Dukes Canoe Club offered fabulous lunch and breakfast, while the other three restaurant choices added equally wonderful choices. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!

Nice hotel.. on the beach!

Great hotel.. the back side is right on the beach! A lot of the hotels do not face the beach. Small pool, but hey.. the ... beach is a few steps away! Some of the road noise from the main strip was a little loud for our tastes, but coming from a big city it didn't bother me one bit. Rooms were clean, the staff is very nice. Right on the main strip with a lot of shopping and food!

Nice hotel, but...

Enjoyed the trip & overall very pleased. Nov 26, 2009

Very nice 'partial ocean view', but couldn't open balcony door due to the noisy a/c units on roof next door to hotel. No ... chaises available for guests after 8:00AM and the jacuzzi/sun deck area closed most afternoons from 3 or 4PM til sunset for entertainment outside. Very nice staff, very nice room, the noise of the 2 restaurants interferes with enjoying pool area. Great hospitality room for changing/showering even after check-out. Free long-distance phone calls to anywhere in US from your room!!! Best location to walk to most attractions, restaurants and shopping. No rental car service available in hotel--had to go to the Hyatt just one block away. Would prefer a quieter resort in the future.

Excellent spot

Staff was outstanding and very friendly and very very helpful. The balcony view was inspiring and we only had what was ... considered a partial ocean view. Location was perfect. Will definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

Fun location

This is a city hotel, right on the beach. There is something going on in the street all of the time. I could hear the music ... until 2 am. I enjoyed it , but it could be too much for people looking to relax. They do charge to use the computer and print your boarding pass though. I have not see that before, even at much less expensive places.

Perfect location

It was a great trip. The hotel location was great. It was right on the beach and everything else was within a very short ... walking distance. We did the hiking, dinner cruise, luau, helicopter tour, and everything was great. The only thing missing on our trip was someone to feed us grapes while sunbathing. The one downside I can think of was hearing street noise and elevator noise from our room at night, but that wasn't a big problem. If you get in a full day of activities, falling asleep through the noise won't be much of a problem.

Great place to have a honeymoon!!

This hotel was in a great location close to everything. There were two great restaurants there too!! The pool was eight next ... to the beach and laying in the lawn chairs we had a great view of the ocean. We had an amaZing time!!

Great trip ...but

It is cheaper and easier to make activities plans once your there for every dinner cruise there are 10 others for way less ... and offer the same thing

Their beach is the best, however the hotel does not provide lounge chairs or umbrellas - those you must rent from vendors on ... the "public" beach. The view of Diamond Head is incredible. Swimming and learning to surf is great. This was our first time to Hawaii and we'd do it again at an OutRigger Hotel! Restaurants were superb. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Good trip, airline so so.

Hotel was fine. Nothing special except the location. Nice restaurants but no better for a guest than someone from any other ... hotel.

Too much chaos!

Hawaii Fan Nov 3, 2009

I wanted to stay in Waikiki for the last night of our trip to enjoy one last sunset on Waikiki beach. I forgot since the last ... time we visited, how crowded and totally overrun it was with all the tourists trying frantically to spend their money in all the crowded shops. The shops so crowd the entrance to the hotel that we missed it three times and they charged us $25 to park the rental car. Room was small but clean. Tub was a joke (a half tub that a "little person" wouldn't even be comfortable in. But hey, who takes baths anymore) Safe didn't work, so I gave up and took a chance that my jewelry would be safe. But it was adequate for the price I spent through [...]. It was OK for one night, but not for me. Only one positive thing I can say about Honolulu is, don't rent a car if you're only planning to stay in and around the city. Busses go practically everywhere you want to go and all the shopping, eateries, entertainment and nightlife is within walking distance (if that's what you're into). If you want quiet tranquility and peace, go to the outer areas of Oahu. They are there, you just have to look.

Great Location!!!!!!

Great ocean view room. Looked from 9th floor balcony directly over pool, beach and ocean. Perfect location on the beach. ...

Always a great value for the location!

This is our second time at Outrigger on the Beach. If you like to people watch, enjoy easy access to an outstanding Waikiki ... beach area and activities, and a fun restaurant/bar site; this is the place to go. Rates are reasonable, rooms are clean, staff is friendly; and there is adequate security due room key card requirements for the elevators. Pool area is small and often crowded, but clean and has food and beverage service. Lounge chairs at the pool tend to be 'saved' by people upon opening at 8am, as they continue to keep a towel on their chair throughout the day, even if they aren't using it. Pool is 4ft plus, great for adults but not kid-friendly, if that is something you are needing. Room cleaning can be a bit pokey, as sometimes we were out all day and returned to someone cleaning our room at 4:00 pm, just as we are wanting to shower and prep for the evening despite removing our 'do not disturb' sign. This was fairly consistent throughout both of our stays. Rooms at the end of the hall can be a bit noisy with street noise at night, but all in all this is a great place if you are looking to stay somewhere that isn't super expensive, is clean and accomodating, AND in a great location for the International Market and restaurants.

Way above average staff.

This was my 3rd trip to Waikiki. It was the best location and hotel yet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We did ... have one day where internet was not available and they sent me across the street to a partner hotel. I thought my computer was messed up. There is wireless in the lobby and ethernet in the rooms, their ethernet is just a step above dial-up. Some of us are computer dependent. One snafu for us was that we were there for a family wedding and they did not get all the family on one floor as was requested, we booked several months in advance. One other little pet peeve, with the time change, or even without it, I get up early. Its a pain to wait for the beach guys (umbrellas and lounge chairs, towels) to open at 8am which is noon where I am from. Lots of people standing in line starting at 7am, couldnt they even try to accomodate the early birds? The location is very central to the amazing street acts at night. Just go accross the street and you are right in the middle of all of it! This was the first staff of bell persons that were helpful and efficient in getting shuttles, cabs etc when we asked. Just the best place I have stayed in Waikiki.

The staff was friendly, we enjoyed the partial ocean view room. This spot is right in the middle of Waikiki Beach. It's fun ... to walk up the beach at night and hear the music from all the other hotels . A very romantic spot to watch the sunset is in the ocean right in front of the hotel. It was hard to leave.

Great location for money invested

We requested King rooms, City View. We were not dissappointed. Great View for price paid. We could see the OCEAN, pool and ... the city all from room 1005. The one drawback to the Outrigger was that the room had an ajoining door, single door not insulated, and you could hear the guests in the other room. Every time the room next door opened their door the ajoining door would rattle....blow dryer in the A.M. Nice, clean hotel but...It was noisy. All staff were very attentive and helpful. Valet parking only at a cost of $25 per day, plus tip....way too much especially considering you have paid for a room.

Really good hotel, congested w/o parking

Hotel was very nice but in a highly populated area, congested with people and cars and parking very hard to come by. Plan to ... walk to restaurants instead of drive due to lack of parking.

Great Hotel

Nice hotel, friendly staff, great location (walking distance to restaurants, bars, dance clubs, shopping, and beachfront), ... clean rooms. Very noisy at night but that's because of the great nightlife and location.

Great service & close to everything

Outstanding - everyone was very helpful from bellhops to restaurant staff to those at the Events/courtesy desk. They helped ... us line up some great trips (such as Pearl Harbour), recommended the best Luau, provided some wonderful tips for our day trip of the island and secured a car rental at the last minute! Even the staff in the shops went out of their way to be friendly and helpful.
