OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu

The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Waikiki. Even though we had a city view room, we could still see Waikiki Beach clearly from our lanai! We also enjoyed some relaxing time by the poolside, which was right in front of the beach.

This hotel was perfect for my trip.
[Room]
- Spacious
- The sink was large. I was able to spread out all my amenities. The large mirror and magnifying mirror made applying makeup easy.
- Excellent shower pressure.
- The toilet flushed smoothly.
- The bathroom had a large luggage storage area with over 10 hangers. I brought folding hangers but didn't use them. I was able to easily fit three inflatable swim rings and a suitcase.
- There were plenty of chests of drawers, so I was able to store all my clothes.
- There was a large mirror behind the sofa, making it easy to get ready.
- There were also multiple outlets on the side beds, so charging my phone was easy.
- Two adults and a small child could sleep comfortably on the king bed. There was also a sofa bed, but we didn't use it.
- The housekeeper always cleaned the room well, and there was no sand from the beach.
- Plenty of towels and tissues.
- The coffee machine, paper cups, and drinking glasses were always kept replenished.
[Pool/Beach]
- You can go directly to the beach from the pool. There were plenty of beach chairs reserved for the hotel, so it was easy to find a spot. You could leave your towel and luggage there, play in the pool, then play on the beach and then return to the pool empty-handed.

Duke's staff are always wandering around the poolside checking for orders, so you can order from the menu on the spot. You can even drink alcohol while swimming in the pool.

Floor rings are allowed in the pool.

Beach bags are provided in the rooms, so you can use them. They're large and sturdy, and I often saw people carrying them around town. I didn't need to bring my own. Water bottles are also provided.

There's a water dispenser by the pool.
[Overall Hotel]

The staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff helped me with my luggage as soon as I arrived. I arrived at 12:30, but they allowed me to check in early without asking. My luggage was delivered to my room promptly, and after I told them where the safe was, they left the room saying, "Enjoy!", so I almost missed a tip.
While there aren't many Japanese people and none of the staff speaks Japanese perfectly, I was able to get by with just a few words.

Security is tight, as you can't get on the elevators without a hotel card.

Conveniently, there's a Hula Grill and Duke's just down the street from the lobby. For a late breakfast around 9:00, Hula Grill was open, and I was able to get a great beachfront seat without a reservation.

I got a cheap city view room on the first floor, but I was more than satisfied with the ocean view from the lanai.

The location is great, with the International Market Place right across the street. There are also plenty of shops downstairs. I forgot to buy souvenirs the day before my final day, so I popped into Honolulu Cookies, which is open until 10:00 PM, in my pajamas.


It's right in the middle of Waikiki Beach, so both the Royal Hawaiian Center and Waikiki Beach Walk are within walking distance.


I was very satisfied, but as other reviews have said, it can be noisy at night. Street music can be heard until late every night. However, I enjoyed it because I thought, "Everyone's so cheerful. It feels like I'm overseas." There were days when I could hear something that sounded like opera, and it felt like I got a good deal.
It's strange that there are so few Japanese people there, considering the location and service are so good. There are almost no Japanese people there, so it feels like I'm abroad.

The hotel is located on Waikiki Commercial Street, next to the beach. There is direct access to the beach from the swimming pool. There are many commercial restaurants and shops around, which is very convenient. The room is relatively large, the room type is a bit old, the overall hygiene is good, and the price can be a little cheaper.

Absolutely best location ever . Stayed here twice and it was good experience .

I will definitely stay at this hotel when I come to Hawaii!
There are only a few hotels on the beach!
I can spend the whole day by the pool!

Definitely come back again ! The location is amazing walk down to beach and the hotel staff member is so friendly. Upgraded our room to ensure our stay. Beautiful view from the room.

We have stayed here many times over the last 35yrs.
Fabulous location. Fabulous restaurants and fabulous staff. A clean well managed hotel. A++++++

Very pleased with our stay! Excellent location beachfront. Beautiful views of Diamond Head Crater. Super excellent location to be in the middle of all shops, beaches and restaurants . Short walks to explore & enjoy up and down the streets and beaches! All staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Clean and well maintained. Great assistance with booking activities. My daughter took a surf lesson. Beachside conveniently had plenty of water activities to enjoy with an area to rent paddle boards , surf boards, floats, chairs & umbrellas. The restaurants inside the resort were excellent and convenient with outdoor seating and ocean views! ABC general store on lower level to shop for anything needed from drinks, snacks, beach towels, souvenirs, sunscreen etc…The resort also offers free activities that are on a schedule week by week, such as yoga, hula lessons, Lei & bracelet making, vow renewals & ukulele lessons! My 15yo daughter took a ukulele lesson, then shopped around and bought one to bring home!!! We have absolutely no complaints about our stay! Will absolutely be coming back in the future. Our flight home was a late evening flight & our check out time was 11:00am, so the bell hop service held our luggage for us so we could enjoy the rest of our last day on the beach. Then we decided to top off our last day to pamper ourselves with a spa treat, which is located on the top floor of the resort. I got a massage. My daughter got a facial. Afterwards we got to go to the outside roof top and enjoy the awesome view feeling refreshed & relaxed. I can go on and on about the positives of this vacation stay. There were no negative issues!

Beautiful! Location was the best! People are helpful and friendly. ❤️❤️❤️
