Overal the resort was ok. With 2 restaraunts the cuisine was not overally applealing.The resort catatered to the young set, as the Lower bar/restaraunt was more for the night life drinking socializing. The greeting for new arrivals was average, nothing really welcoming you like you would find in the carribean. There was a lot of issues with the young teenagers. Loud, foul language and very disrespectful. attitude was very evident from these young adults. Some were even evicted during our stay for drinking under age.
For the middle age and older travelers, this resort is more suited for the party types.
Off the resort we would reccommend the Galaxy for very good breakfast reasonably priced also.
For other dining and good food we would recommend the Giovannies and Denny;s on the Beach walk area which was a couple of minutes form the resort...

From curbside bell service to check-in to housekeeping, everything about the Outrigger was FANTASTIC! This vacation was a gift for my father so I wanted everything to be perfect and the Outrigger never disappointed us. We stayed in an oceanfront room w/ a large closet area that was more then adequate for 3 adults. We ate at both Dukes and The Hula Grill and found their prices were not much more then what I pay in California and the food was very good. Dukes has a great salad bar! Their location to lots of shopping no matter your budget is great for those who do not rent a car and the shops open early! A shuttle bus to the Arizona Memorial can be arranged with Bell Service and the cost for round trip is very reasonable. This was our first stay with Outrigger Waikiki and we will definitely return!

We just got back from six days at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. We absolutely loved everything about it. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and smelled fresh. The view from the lanai of our partial ocean view room was very entertaining. We could see swimmers, surfers, and watch a large catamarran coming in and going back out with tourists. We ate in the Hula Grill every morning--great views of beach and Diamond Head. Food was good and fairly priced. We also ate one night at Duke's--great food but pricey. Try the Plantation Bar at happy hour for great prices on drinks and food. We hope to go back to Waikiki someday, and we will definetely stay at the Outrigger again. It really is centrally located in Waikiki--we walked everywhere. (Bring good shoes!) All in all it was a wonderful experience.

My niece and I just got back from a week long stay at the Outrigger Waikiki. What a great hotel! We were greeted with a very friendly staff from the moment we stepped out of the cab. The check in was easy and we were upgraded. We enjoyed the Hula Grill and Duke's. I was very impressed with them since my niece suffers from a severe allergy to shellfish. The staff made a point to go over the menu with us and recommend what she would be able to eat. They really made the extra effort for her safety. Yes, you can hear the people in the rooms next to you but thankfully ours weren't too loud. Other than at night we were rarely in the room anyway so it didn't matter. I would choose this hotel again.
