Excellent hotel, 10/10 for service/staff, comfortable and clean rooms with good AC, and walkable location. I will say, the beach right in front of the hotel is all rocks - it is not a sandy bottom in the water, which we were surprised by. We went to the beach on the right which still had rocks, but not as much. We tried to go to the main Beach on Waikīkī as we learned there are no rocks but, there were canoe races and it was shut down for those. Still, it was a good stay overall and there is plenty to see and do. They have live performances and the food options are good at the restaurants.

The renovated rooms are pretty nice. Oceanfront view is very nice. Staff are friendly. Hotel location is very convenient, close to a lot of shopping and food.

First time trip to Hawaii with my sister(we are both retired) We were there from 9-2-26 to 9-9-26. From the moment we arrived from the airport, we have never had such exemplary treatment as we experienced at Outrigger Reef Waikiki. Front desk staff to housekeeping to servers and bartenders, all seemed genuinely happy to be there and take care of their guests. Warm, kind, and welcoming are the best adjectives to describe their demeanor. Our room was spotless on the 16th floor with a lanais/balcony view of both ocean and Honolulu. The pictures and videos I sent my family back home got comments like, “it doesn’t look real”(the view, especially evening) The Monkey Pod Kitchen was next to hotel and just a few steps away-we ate many meals during our stay breakfast, lunch, and dinner-they were all delicious. The bar/grill next to pool got our business several times for Mai Tais and Blue Hawaii drinks. Housekeeping was accommodating for towel delivery and freshening our room each day. The bell desk person helped me by checking prices for transportation in and around the island. All in all, it was an unforgettable memory and trip of a lifetime made even more special by the treatment we received at the Outrigger Reef Hotel. Truly the “Aloha Spirit” was communicated to me and my sister every day we were there. Can’t wait to go back-didn’t want to leave.

This was our second stay at the Outrigger Reef this year (loved it so much that we had to return). Having been to the Waikiki area several times, we are now certain that this is where we will definitely be staying on our future visits. The hotel front desk staff are extremely helpful and friendly. A special thank you to Rick, Joe, and Frank. The rooms are clean (thank you, Sharon, for making it so comfortable for us) and if you get a room with some sort of ocean view, you will not be disappointed. We spent most days by the pool and Joenny was always there to make sure everything was going well for us. They have beverage and food service by the pool and Bernard and MQ were on top of things also. The hotel is beach front with a small area for chairs, but you only have to walk a little further to find a larger beach if that's what you are looking for. The location of this hotel is perfect for taking a morning walk and for eating out (although they have two very good restaurants on the premises if you don't feel like venturing). All in all, this is an excellent choice for a wonderful Waikiki vacation.

Just stayed at this hotel for 10 days in September, we where on the 11th floor in one of the renovated rooms, which I must say was beautiful! The staff were polite and very helpful BUT the renovation work was a bit much to take, being woken at 6.15am to the sound of a large skip being dropped off was a bit much, the sound of banging and drilling and most days it was chaos along the walkway out onto the main street with the flow of guest, workmen and trolleys taking furniture etc into the hotel. We flew from England and didn't experience the best in this hotel at all, a bit of a disappointment although the surrounding areas are amazing to see, im sure when these renovations are completed we would recommend this hotel unfortunately because of travel and cost won't be possible for us to experience again.

My husband and I make it a point to stay at Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach every year, and each visit reminds us why we keep coming back. From the moment we arrive, we’re welcomed like family. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to Waikiki Beach, restaurants, shopping, and everything we love to do on the island. The property is beautiful, but what truly makes this hotel special is its people. A special thank you to Frank, who always goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The restaurant staff consistently provide excellent service, and the housekeeping team is simply outstanding. One of our favorite parts of every stay is seeing Eileen each morning. She always greets us with a warm smile and makes sure our room has everything we need. It’s those personal touches that make this hotel feel like a second home. It’s rare to find a place where the staff remembers you year after year and genuinely cares about making your stay memorable. That level of hospitality keeps us coming back. We can’t wait for our next visit. Mahalo to everyone at Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach for another wonderful stay!

If you love great service, stay at Outrigger Reef resort. My husband and I recently stayed at Outrigger Reef and had an exceptional visit. The staff is incredible. Every single staff member is joyful, helpful and kind. We truly felt valued. We experienced a small issue and Rick at the front desk went above and beyond to resolve our issue. He was sensitive and compassionate to our needs and we are thankful and grateful for Rick’s service. Our stay was better than we ever expected. We will definitely be joining |Outrigger’s loyalty program and look forward to many more stays to come.

This is our second time in Waikiki. We decided to stay here again, because the first was a very memorable time for our family. My kids and the wife had such a enjoyable time, because the beach was literally downstairs. We we're hardly in our room. Kani Ka Pila Grille and Monkey Pod Kitchen was two restaurants you can choose from without leaving the resort. I just want to also say housekeeping staff (keep up with the good work!) was helpful and friendly! And I wish I remembered the front desk clerk name who was very accommodating to our room concern since we we're staying for five nights, he put us in a view we're able to see the fireworks! Overall Great Stay & Mahalo Outrigger Reef !
