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.

Paradise

We truly loved this hotel.... friendly staff, very accomodating ..the last day we checked out a noon m, but didn't leave until 8 PM, and they made our luggage accessable, pluys had a hospitality room for use to change and freshen up! The 3 restaurants onsite were great. The pool and 3 hot tubs super, and the location right on Waikiki Beach = the BEST. Plus the close proximity to shopping, trolleys, museums, we loved.

Unbeatable location for the price.

The hotel was great! We ate at the grill upon our arrival an the food was delicious. We also ate breakfast at the Shore Bird and once again the food was very good. Housekeeping did a wonderful job of keeping our room clean.

Unbelievable winter escape

IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM A LONG WINTER. THE LOCATION WAS VERY CLOSE TO ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO WALK TO AND SHUTTLES COULD BE ARRANGED TO GET YOU TO ANYTHING ELSE. HAVING THE LANAI DOORS CLOSED MADE THE ROOM VERY QUIET, BUT WE PREFERRED TO HAVE THEM OPEN TO LISTEN TO THE WAVES. WE ENJOYED OUR VIEW OF DIAMOND HEAD, THE OCEAN VIEW, AND WHALE WATCHING FROM OUR LANAI-WHAT A WAY TO SPEND A VACATION! THE ONLY THING WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER WOULD HAVE BEEN A KING SIZE BED INSTEAD OF TWO DOUBLES, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW YOU COULD REQUEST BED SIZE.

Excellent service

Wonderful 3 night stay after our promo stay at the Hilton. We received a free upgrade to an oceanfront room where we could hear the surf even with the lanai doors closed! Room was updated and well-appointed.

Perfect location, great food!

Rooms are beautiful and spacious and comfy. Balcony was bigger than some hotels we've stayed at. Very good food, but the breakfast buffet was nothing great for the amount you paid. Location was perfect for walking the strip or to walk to Ala Moana shopping center. It was so nice having free calling to US or Canada. I will be staying here again next time! Over all everything was great, can't wait to go back!

Be sure to look in the little booklets they have in the lobby and in your room and on the street corners for coupons to get 50% off 2nd entree at Outrigger reef, food is quite expensive all over.

Great hotel all around

My husband and I stayed on Oahu for two nights, primarily to see Pearl Harbor before flying on to Maui. The Outrigger Reef was an excellent mid-range choice for us. New, clean, wonderful spot-on service. We loved the easy access to Starbuck's in the lobby, the great pool and hot tub, and the pool-side restaurant with live Hawaiian music at night. The only drawbacks were the large number of people, and the very long waits for dinner at all three of the hotel's restaurants. [...] Otherwise, we were very happy.
