Excellent location for shopping, restaurants tours etc
Location, sea view, staff, Hawaiian vibe
The lifts took a bit of getting used to

Very good
The view was amazing. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Having a section of the beach blocked off for us was great.
The bathtub was the size of a shower and there was patio refinishing going on next door which was very loud during work hours and we were not warned.

We had a great time staying at the Outrigger resort. Really helpful team and although a bit dated it suited us well.
Fantastic location, staff, and food options.
Property is dated and expensive (fantastic location)

Very good
We paid extra to have an oceanfront room and it was worth it! Waking up to the view each day was amazing!
Waiting time to get a meal at Duke’s. It would be great if guests of the hotel could reserve a table. Breakfast buffet was expensive for the quality of the food. Hula Grill - ordering off a breakfast menu was much nicer.

Location, location, location.
The Outrigger's location is prime. Across the street from the International Market and the Blue Note and Duke's Waikiki is in the same building. Plus the beach is out back.
I have no complaints. Will visit again.

Room furniture, especially beds, needs update

Amazing time at Waikiki Beach!!!
Amazing location! Voyager 47 Club food was excellent. Awesome view from beachfront room! Duke's restaurant food excellent.

We have stay there in passed and enjoyed this stay as well, disappointed with r/s door, hot water
location great. beach
Sliding door very hard to lock. service man came and manage to lock it but did not fix the problem. Coffee machine had to be replaced twice. Shower was cold on the last morning as we had early flight. left the hotel at 6am so I could not report the problem.

Love Oahu!
Location, Duke’s
Elevator often busy, small and crowded pool, a bit oldish

Rooms are starting to near needing a bit of modernising but they were still good.

Amazing location... Old hotel, and room seemed old but VERY functional...
location is excellent for the beach, shopping, restaurants.. breakfasts at Hula Grill were real good and wonderful views... water pressure is good, hot water is good (but too hot at first), toilet flushes like an airplane toilet (great)... staff are mostly friendly and efficient...
bidet built into the toilet seat would be nice... price was VERY high (especially with the ++ added onto the price), but normal for that location in Waikiki... parking should be included in the price for Waikiki hotels, but it isn't...
6 November 2024
We will be back
Loved the location and the balcony for every room the food also was good when we could get into the restaurants
The only thing was getting into Dukes or Hula but once we worked out the booking process it was good
28 October 2024
Perfect location and funky vibe
The location , the beachfront rooms, the vibe at dukes
One major flaw… there are not enough sun beds with shelter so people line up at 7.30am to get inside the pool area at 8am then reserve all the beds with towels and often disappear for the next 2 hours . Although there are signs warning that towels will be removed if beds are unoccupied for 1 hour, this is not enforced so you can’t enjoy the pool area if you aren’t awake at 7.30!

Really great location and value for the money.
Location and value.
A bit outdated.

Love the beach and location of the property. We we repeat visitors and will return.
Love the location and restaurants on property.
Street performer and band noise can be heard in rooms; especially while sitting on the lanai.

Glorious beach, buffet breakfast is superb, staff are great!
The location of the hotel is superb. The views from our oceanfront room with a balcony were amazing. I spent much time just watching the turtles playing in the ocean, surrounded by swimmers and surfers. It was a glorious sight!
The hotel is a little dated. The smell of the hotel is a little old and musty, and the double beds in the ocean front suite are exactly that - doubles, so pretty small.

Amazing hotel right on the beach
Amazing location right on the beach. We had an ocean front room which made it a little noisy in the evenings but it was nice listening to the music from the room.
A little expensive but probably no more so than other similar hotels in Waikiki
6 October 2024
Very good
Amazing location on the beach. 2 good restaurants on site with great views.
The rooms are a bit dated.
6 October 2024
Great stay - great fun
Hi great location - great food and cocktails - ocean front rooms have fabulous views - party atmosphere every night and great live music
The rooms are dated but large and comfortable
4 October 2024
Very good
Location was the best. Close to everything. Staff are friendly and accomodating.
No microwave in the room. Slow elevators. No hot chocolate on both restaurants for breakfast.
4 October 2024
Fabulous
The hotel is located in central Waikiki, making walking from end to end easy and enjoyable. Excellent beach front access. Wonderful restaurants and stores in the hotel. Close to many different food options, shopping and public transportation. Ocean view rooms were large and balcony very usable with great views. Loved the hotel staff! We will definitely stay here again.
Pool area is on the smaller side, would have loved a hot tub or jacuzzi on site. Microwave in room would have been nice, found out later we could have requested one.
3 October 2024
Great location and atmosphere
Great location and atmosphere being on Waikiki beach. Staff were friendly and we had everything we needed in our room for our stay. Parking is a little expensive at $50 per night. Towel and drinks/food service by the pool was also great.
Nothing - we will be back.

Excellently comfortable
Easy access to the beach
21 September 2024
Excellent resort, central to everything Waikiki has to offer
The location was perfect, central to everything and right in the centre of Waikiki
The restaurants were over rated, expensive and not great menus.
17 September 2024
Great stay, would stay again!
Amazing location, everything within walking distance but you’re a little way out (5 mins walk) from the really busy tourist area. Friendly staff, clean.
There weren’t many gluten free eating options in the club lounge.
17 September 2024
fabulous location
we upgraded to an ocean view room. so the was amazing but it came at a cost.
the pool is tough. too many people for chairs. and if you want to be on the beach its a separate company renting the chairs
17 September 2024
Fabulous
The location
I needed harder pillows😉
16 September 2024
Fabulous
Beautiful view and Yu Ling cleaned our room every day! She was a blessing.
Bathroom has refrigerator-This is unsanitary! We left our 6 candy bars and a sandwich by a mistake due to refrigerator being in Bathroom. This is not in a normal spot.

Very good
Resort and rooms are quite dated but the location is perfect and the balcony was great looking out to the beach.
Old rooms and furniture. The lifts took way too long to arrive and we found ourselves always waiting for minutes for the next lift.
5 September 2024
Very good
Location. We loved the view of the sea, even from a City View room. Was great to have Surfboard hire right in front. The Pool, sunloungers and Dukes food were great. We loved getting lunch from Pai’s Deli. It has such good healthy food.
The beds were small - only double. Our room was quite small for four people, but adequate.
3 September 2024
Pretty nice :)
The location is fantastic. Room 921 was fantastic outlook. Beach was fab but all the boats coming & going is a bit annoying.
Bed sheets were pilled & a bit thread bare & icky. The walk from lobby to pool is smelly & icky. Could do with a makeover. Meals & drinks are expensive compared to outside places. I prefer umbrellas on lounges.

Amazing location, food and staff :)
Amazing location and staff
Rooms are very dated and small for the amount you pay Very small pool. Generally entire hotel is dated compared to what you would find in Europe for that price point

Sensational location
Expensive
17 August 2024
We enjoyed staying in Waikiki and the location was perfect. The staff is top notch but none better than Lisa the bartend
Location and staff were excellent. The club level lounge was great
The rooms needed updating. The elevators were terrible! The food quality in the lounge wasn’t great and we wished there was salad available every night plus a grilled chicken and not always fried.
9 August 2024
Retired NZ couple-loved the warmth and location.
Right in the middle of Waikiki-walkout onto the beach and walk out onto the shopping and restaurants.
31 July 2024
I loved the people but unfortunately the hotel itself needs to offer more for the amount of money it costs to stay.
The staff at every level of the hotel was absolutely wonderful. They were all so nice and helpful. I can’t speak highly enough about their friendliness and that they went out of their way.
The room smelled really musty and bed was so hard I couldn’t sleep. It badly needs an update. I also wished that the property did not feel like being in a mall. The mall-like atmosphere took away from the island experience. The restaurants were confusing to access and we didn’t ever really figure out where to eat for breakfast.
22 July 2024
Always reliable
Location is great; right in the middle of things, lots of shops, restaurants and close to beach.
It’s a busy place
20 July 2024
Great location but low frills for the amount you pay
Location and staff members.
Was expensive for Old and tired facilities. using the elevator was a total nightmare. My first room was facing a loud air conditioning extraction fan until I requested to cancel my room and go to a new hotel. They were very helpful to move me to a higher room. Could never get a seat on the Dukes restaurant, always insanely busy.
16 July 2024
Had a Brilliant Time
Location, Dukes Restaurant and Bar, Activities Desk for booking activities, View
10 July 2024
Very enjoyable except for the value of the Voyager 47 room
View from our room awesome.
The Voyager 47 room was very disappointing. The standard of food offered not up to Club room standards around the world. The evening snacks were mainly fried type food . So unhealthy Breakfast better selection. Drinks value standard.
10 July 2024
Good hotel but thats about it.
Great location and quite comfortable room if you want to be in the very heart of it all,
It is the very noisy and busy end of Waikiki, especially on the 4th of July! It is super crowded, waiting time for the elevators was a little much sometimes. I wish hotel patrons had some sort of priority to the beach or anything but it was a bit of a first in first served everywhere. We ended up spending time on the beach away from the hotel as it was absolutely full of over priced lounge chairs.
8 July 2024
Great fun family vibe right in the heart of Waikiki
Loved Dukes Bar
8 July 2024
Nice to go…..once.
Hotel was nice ,well located. Central to everything
A little noisy at night. Pool was incredibly small . Beach was nice , but 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella were $100. Per day
7 July 2024
We’ll be back!!
Proximity to the beach
The wait at the restaurant!
4 July 2024
great hotel middle of waikiki - excellent if you are here for surfing and night life
in the middle of Waikiki Beach and great restaurants The location to Waikiki Beach and the surrounding stores was excellent. So were the options of the various restaurants. All the staff from the concierge to housekeeping or pool stuff were extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. we had a room on the 15th floor with good ocean view. we liked the little extras like the drink bottle and free water refill.
- that you pay 100§ / day for an sun umbrella +2 sun loungers on the beach as a hotel guest - the breakfast in the V-Club - to be honest, we would have expected more here. compared to Duke's, it was ...well, let's say very much in need of improvement. Here I would recommend the normal room category to all Booking.com bookers who have Genius 3 level, because breakfast at Duke's is included. Especially if you're staying longer, you have a much better and larger selection overall. And save yourself the expensive upgrade to the club rooms. The only advantage of the club rooms is that they are on the higher floors and that you can find a small selection of appetizers from 16:30 -18:30. We stayed at Duke's once and paid extra for it (60$ for 2 persons), no wishes were left unfulfilled, a breakfast (buffet) as you would expect from a hotel of this category. - The location of the rooms are all on the side and if you don't have an oceanfront room (which are exorbitantly expensive compared to the other rooms) or you are far to the front, then the sea view is limited

Nice location but tired facilities
Good location and Dukes on site was great for drinks and entertainment
The rooms were dated and not very nice, although clean, comfortable and pretty large. Just nondescript and boring except for the view - could have been a room in podunk Oklahoma. The lobby was super dated and not very nice and the pool was very small and no umbrellas for hotel guests on the beach
