I brought my 13 year granddaughter to Hawaii for a week as a special one on one time together. We had been looking forward to this trip for several years.
The Outrigger Reef on the Beach provided the perfect stay for us. The entire staff was so pleasant and helpful starting with Peter who checked us in. The Shorebird and Ocean House restaurants were outstanding in every way. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, the lunch menu and especially cooking our meal on the barbeque grill! That is a fun idea.
The pool is absolutely beautiful. Only wished the sun wasn't shaded so early in the day by the buildings.
The women working in the gift shop were very helpful and pleasant.
The beach services located directly out in front of the Shorebird resturant were fantastic and a great addition to the Hotel. We rode on the Outrigger Canoe and took surfing lessons. Kenny is absolutely wonderful! I wish I could remember the names of the other three, two men and one gal, who went out of their way to be sure we had a fun experience. I started out the surfing lesson with an upset stomach and when I actually got sick a long way from shore, I was brought in and so well taken care of. I appreicated it so much! I will stay here again and will recommend it to my friends. Thank you for making our trip such a fun memory!

Had a wonderful stay. Our room category was partial ocean view. I have stayed at other hotels with partial ocean views and this one had a great view of the ocean. I was able to get up in the morning and see the surfers from my balcony. The property is on the beach, so needless to say, a short stroll from the elevator and you are on the beach. There are vendors that rent chairs, umbrella's, and water toys. The Shore Bird is a great value for breakfast. I have been to the island several times and they offer a buffet breakfast for $12.95. This is a great value considering some hotels charge up to $32.00 for breakfast. The hotel's pool is open and there is still construction at the property. For the value and location the construction was not a bother to me. Several restaraunts are within walking distance if you don't want to take advantage of the hotel restaraunts. The hotel offers transfers to and from the airport, the aloha stadium - I bought my transfers from a tour operator before hand and was disappointed to see that the hotel offered them at a lower rate, they also have a tour desk. Enjoyed my stay and am looking forward to a return visit.

I just want to say thanks to everyone that write on this site. It was very helpful.
Where do I begin. Well, let me just say that I have a great time at the Outrigger. It was a very nice, clean hotel. I didn' have any problems at all. The location was the best. It was in walking distance to all the major stores and resturant. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The activity desk was very knowledgeable about the activities that you can do. We loved Dukes Resturant. The only thing that I didn't like was the birds that walked freely around the resturant. If you can, upgrade to an Ocean Front Room!!!! We were in room 711. The hotel was remodeling, but it wasn't a bother at all. I never head anything while staying there. I like that the hotel was offer free vows renewal which we did. We were there for our 2nd anniversary. It was free so we did it. It was nine couples all together. It was a couple who got married just 2 days ago. I can go on and on about the Outrigger, but I will end it here. Just go and have fun!!!!!

This hotel is being renovated and was just beautiful. The construction is kept to a minimum as to effect your stay. The rooms are lovely and the Shorebird cannot be beat. for scenery and their Lava Flows. Vow renewal ceremony was way more than I ever expected. Great location to walk to most of downtown Honolulu. Beach has a beautiful view of Diamond Head. You won't go wrong staying here as we just loved it. Everyone is so nice and helpful and you are located near the bus stop for going to places too far to walk. I highly recommend this hotel and I am hoping we get to go back sometime in the near future. Full of island spirit and Aloha.

Just returned from a great week at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach. The property is still being renovated so it is still
pretty noisy at the pool durning the day you might want to take along an I-pod to block out the construction noise.
The service given by the staff is incredible, they called us by our names as if we had been there 10 times before. Each time we
picked up our car to go site seeing we were greeted by great people, we received directions,weather report, places to stay away from due to road construction and two water bottles. The new rooms are magnificent, new beds and pillows
great colors, big rooms. Very first time I can say that I slept in a bed
that felt good with great pillows just like home! We loved it!!
Housekeeping does a wonderful job, would like to have brought them home with us. Shore BIrd resturant is great and right
there on the beach so you can see the sunset during dinner.
They even have a place to get your boarding passes for your
trip home if you fly Hawaiian Air, so no standing in line at the
airport. Good Job guys!!
