Local beachfront hotel delivers the best of island life

Outrigger Reef's recent $110-million renovations are reflected throughout the beachfront property in island-style décor, architecture and amenities. The locally-owned hotel's new look is more traditional Hawaiiana than trendy with an emphasis on cultural appreciation and upscale amenities. Outrigger Reef is a perfect hotel for relaxing with the family. Find shopping and dining steps away.

daughter's destination wedding

our experience at Outrigger Reef On The Beach was as good as we could have asked for. We chose to have breakfast vouchers as a part of our package and were very impressed with both the Ocean restaurant and the pool restaurant. The buffet at the Shorebird, while nice, was nothing spectacular. Selection day-to-day saw no change. Our room and bed, in particular, was outstanding. Our ocean view had Diamondhead and the ocean, which was wonderful for January for a couple of Wisconsin residents. Would repeat at Outrigger Reef On The Beach should we return to Oahu.

Many excellent restaurants within 2-3 blocks. At all costs, avoid the Seaside Restaurant, over on Seaside av/st. Got sick and quality was lousy, at best.

Heavenly Hawaiian Haven

We stayed at a moderate room at Outrigger Reef for 7 days during the second week of January. This hotel was better than we expected. Our moderate, partial ocean view room in the Ocean Tower was exceptionally clean, roomy, and very well decorated. The room had a good sized lanai with a small table and two comfortable chairs that allowed a narrow line of sight to the ocean and Waikiki beach. Our room was on the second floor. If I had known better, I would have upgraded to a higher floor since the second floor room was located near a ground level passageway through which the restaurant received deliveries and organized their dish washing efforts. However, this noise was not intolerable. We barely noticed it after the first evening. We had a super comfortable king bed in our room. We also enjoyed the amenities which included a large flat screen tv, a refrigerator, an easy to use lock box, and a large, well-appointed bath with Grohe fixtures. The room and the bath were impeccably clean and well cared for. My wife appreciated the fact that the sheets were high quality and changed daily. Housekeeping was conscientious in providing the best possible service. We both exclaimed, “wow!”, when we walked in the door. The highlight of the evening was relaxing at the pool and listening to the wonderful Hawaiian music groups that performed nightly in the pool area. The restaurants in the hotel offered a variety of dining that would be perfect for anyone and any budget. We particularly enjoyed breakfast at the pool-side open air restaurant. The food was reasonably priced and very tasty. This hotel is in the middle of everything on in this beautiful city. The Sheraton Waikiki is only a block away, the Hawaiian Village is a short walk in the other direction. There is great shopping nearby but Outrigger Reef avoids the noise and crowds of the busier locations. There is a sense of peace here that is truly restful and pleasant. To me, the price of the room was a bargain in comparison to some of the other hotels on Waikiki. The Outrigger Reef is a great value.

Very good except for the timeshare zombies

Great hotel but confusing location for check-in. RIGHT ON THE BEACH! I know the timeshare zombies are everywhere (including the casinos in Vegas), but when they are actually in the hotel, it's depressing. Timeshares? What is this, the 80s?

The Outrigger is in a fantastic location right on the beach. We had beachfront rooms which was just awesome. Beds were very confortable and rooms were very clean. The kids loved paddleboarding right at our beach! This hotel was expensive but we were there the day after Christmas.

Good value on Waikiki Beach

The Outrigger Reef on the Beach probably is the LAST good value hotel in all of Waikiki, let alone ON Waikiki Beach. Their recent renovations help them keep up with the higher end hotels that surround it. The hotel concierge staff were very helpful throughout our stay.

Go to Uncle Clay's Shaved Ice shop on the southeast side of Oahu. We stumbled on it after a LONG day at Hanauma Bay. YUM! The quality is much better then the stuff you'd get on Waikiki and, it's closer and less crowded than Matsumoto's.
