OUTRIGGER Waikiki
What We Like
- The OUTRIGGER’s beachfront location is a big plus, with views of Diamond Head, lounge chairs, and stunning sunsets.
What to Consider
- The hotel’s convenient location amid Waikiki action may not be ideal for guests who prefer a quiet environment.
Laura Medina, travel advisor and former Honolulu resident, describes the hotel as well positioned, with a bar on the beach where you can enjoy cocktails, dinner, and sunsets, near but not in the sand. She also pointed out an advantage for families staying at the OUTRIGGER. “It’s located on the beach right next to a park with palm trees, picnic tables, and plenty of shade. Parents can watch their children play on the shore from a comfortable spot in the shade.
Duke’s Waikiki, named for Honolulu’s famous surfer, Duke Kahanamoku, is in the hotel’s lobby, featuring breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails, and live music. Hula Grill Waikiki offers contemporary island cuisine and Diamond Head views from its oceanfront location. There’s Sunrise Shack and Pai’s Deli for casual fare and take-out.
A few blocks away from the beach, the OUTRIGGER’s sister hotel, the OUTRIGGER Reef, also offers excellent amenities, and guests should be sure which of the hotels they’re booking to avoid confusion with similar names.
