Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

Enjoy an aloha-style welcome at the award-winning Outrigger Reef. You can take in the stunning ocean views, relax among the Polynesian canoe art and soak up the sun by the pool. In need of some peace and pampering? Look no further than the elegant Spa — we recommend the traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. But if you like to be more active, why not set sail in a catamaran (keep your eyes peeled for spinner and bottlenose dolphins) or enjoy a paddle in the surf in an authentic outrigger canoe. If you prefer dry land, amble along the Waikiki Beach Walk promenade, stopping at a café on route, or take a hike to Point Leahi at the summit of Diamond Head. Back at the hotel, you can grill-your-own hand-carved steaks and fresh fish by the beach or dine poolside at Kani Ka Pila Grille, as you watch the live evening entertainment.

This resort was such a great experience for my first time in Oahu. I will definitely be back. The hotel was really nice and the staff were very kind, especially our floors attendant Jie Yi! Thank you, Jie Yi. Also, special thanks to Michael by the pool bar who was really helpful and sweet :)

The hotel staff was always incredibly helpful and welcoming! Li was in particular, wonderful at making our stay as comfortable as home! We also renewed our wedding vows on the beach- an incredible memory and even with several other couples, felt very personal and unique. Thank you for an amazing and memorable stay!

Jackie (maid service) was a treasure. Kept our room filled with the necessities every day of our stay. She brought decaf coffee pods for us since we couldn’t find decaf coffee pods in the local stores. Jackie kept our room spotlessly clean. Jackie was always happy and cheerful.

After many trips to the Hawaiian islands this was our first time on Oahu. After some research we picked the Beautiful Outrigger Reef resort in Waikiki. The one right on the ocean. Dreamy!! It was a Perfect Trip !! The staff there were fabulous. The valet very very helpful. Bell desk was really helpful too. Kind, friendly. What you’d expect at a nice hotel. I would highly recommend Club47. The convenience fabulous. The Foods Yummy. Coffee is great every morning like the Mai Tai’s every evening. The Monkey Pod burger was to die for! Sashimi tacos yumyum!! Cocktails at the pool bomb. I think what made my trip perfect was Joe. Joe works at the front desk. From the first day to our last day Joe always resolved or knew the answer to whatever it was I’d ask him. Joe made our trip extra perfect. Negatives I wish there was more beach. It’s really has gone away. Because of that not enough room for beach lounges. We never had a problem getting a lounge chair by the pool. I just wish the pool itself was bigger. Oahu is beyond beautiful. Planning to go back soon. We will definitely be staying at the Outrigger Reef for Sure. It just all worked. I sure hope Joe is still working there!!! Those are the kind of employees you want to hold on to!!! Aloha and Mahola Read less

The Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort is the best hotel! The service is outstanding from the minute you arrive. The staff greats you with a big smile and they are ready and able to make sure your visit at the resort is unforgettable! The staff remembers your name and greats you with a friendly " aloha "whenever they see you! The rooms are clean and the housecleaning staff is great and they do a superior job of making sure you have everything you need. The view from the Monkeypod Restaurant is fantastic! The hotel is right on the beach so you can view everything from your table and you don't want to leave because it's so beautiful! There is a Kani Ka Pila Grille near the pool so it is an outside restaurant and bar. The bartenders serve food and drinks quickly and efficiently with a smile. In the evening you can listen to free music so the atmosphere is fun and lively! I stay there yearly and last year I stayed there two times in a year because it never, ever gets old! I travel often but the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort is by far my favorite hotel to stay at because of the exceptional, wonderful service! No fear in solo traveling as it is safe, so comfortable and all the staff will go out of their way to be sure you have everything you need! I can't wait to go back next year! You will absolutely love the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on 2169 Kalia Road. You will not be disappointed, I promise you! Read less
