We stayed in a partial ocean view room for 7 nights and couldn't have asked for more. The room itself was spacious and very comfortable with all the required amenity. Sitting on the balcony for beer o'clock after a hard day touring or shopping over looking both the pool area and beach is a nice way to relax.
With happy hour from noon to 5pm, both casual and more formal dining, being able to walk straight onto the beach, & a short stroll to local restaurants and the main street the hotel has everything.
And as you would expect from an Outrigger the service is hard to fault. Highly recommended.

We decided to spurge our last 4 nights in Hawaii, and booked a 'partial-ocean' view room. We wanted to be right on the beach to make the most of the 'beach experience' our last few days.

We're very glad we didn't stay a few blocks from the beach, it was nice not to have to lug our beach bags far - the walk along the beach front to a spot we liked outside dukes restaurant was far enough, but at least that walk has ocean views :). The beach outside the hotel was just ok, quite small, and not as much atmosphere as by Dukes. We didn't bother with the $$$$ hire of umbrellas/chairs, just took towels from the swimming pool area and wore hats. The ABC stores around every corner have umbrellas if you really want, a much cheaper option.

One morning I got up and sunrise with my camera gear to shoot the sunrise from the Hilton Hawaiin hotel lagoon. FYI it rises BEHIND the hotel not over diamond head!!! It was still a lovely time of morning to have the beach to myself and the exercisers :) It was about a 10 minute walk along the beach path, but I'm glad we weren't staying at that hotel, as from the outrigger it was already a 10-15 minute walk to the heart of the shops as far as the internatlional market place (which to us felt like being in China, all the 'crappy' souveniers!).

But the ocean view definately wasn't worth it LOL, but I can't say if a city facing room would be noisy like some others have commented, our room was so quiet. It was nice to look over the balcony as the live evening entertainment started (it didn't go late through), but I think we'd risk a city view room the next time and save the $$.

We ate at the 'cook your own meat' restaurant downstairs one night, it was a bit of fun and the buffet salad was good. We didn't have breakfast included, so we walked to Dukes each morning and enjoyed a huge buffet breakfast, definately a good trip advisor recommendation! Their dinners were also reasonable value and quality.

Another perfect stay at the Reef. There remodel is done and the place is beautiful There staff was awesome Thank you Outrigger. I have vitiated Hawaii 20 or so times. Except for a few times, I have always stayed at The Reef. I can't get myself to go anywhere else. Everything from the Resturants, rooms, pool was perfect. The Shorebird has always been my favorite Resturant for breakfast and dinner. Keep it up Outrigger and thank you again

My Mom & dad used to take my family here when I was young, I have stayed here multiple times over my life, and this time I was lucky enough to take my own kids. The recent renovations have truly updated the Outrigger Reef on the Beach very nicely, an outstanding hotel 100% The staff is always friendly, and valet parking is definitely a must do. The breakfast's served in room service are just about heavenly every time! The consistency of great food here over the years is absolutely mention-able to say the least! Now there is a Starbucks in the entry lobby and LOVE IT! The check in process is fantastic and flawless. The room we had was Ocean View and we truly enjoyed the marvelous sunrise's over Diamondhead and the surfers out by 6 am waiting for the right waves to take! We dined at the Ocean House Restaurant at Sunset, and saw the most amazing sunset as the restaurant lifted the sun screen just beforehand, just AMAZING!! The drinks here were outstanding, and the Seafood Lau Lau was nothing short of perfection, Jason was our server and was outstanding, the desert was fabulous as well, if you like amazing seafood and steak sitting on Waikiki beach for a sunset you'll never forget, pick this place and call ahead for Waikiki beach seating, you'll never forget the experience.
The Shorebird is a fave and always a wonderfully fun and good eating experience.
The live music played every night by the pool and grille really added to the Aloha ambiance, FANTASTIC and WELL DONE! KUDOS TO Outrigger Reef on the Beach!!
