Was there in mid April 2009. It's a great place to stay, maybe the best location on the beach. We upgraded to an ocean front view, cost more but worth it if you want to sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. The people at the hotel were very very nice. The food is really good !!! Dukes is a very popular place to eat, it opens up to the beach and the food is just great. I vote
Duke's as the best cheese burger on earth. You can go to the walkup bar and order food to go if you want to take it back to your room. The Hula Grill also at the Outrigger has excellent food too. The hotel's location my be the best on the beach. It's withing walking distance of lot's of shopping locations, not to far to the zoo and aquarium (I thought Honolulu would have a better aquarium... you will not miss much if you skip it). If you want to travel around the island, the hotel can arrange a car at a very good price. The only negative would be that you could hear noise from the next door rooms... I am sure if it was too loud, the hotel could put you on another floor... our room's noise wasn't that bad, and the view and location more than made up for a little noise...... location, location, location.... and very friendly staff
2nd stay at Outrigger - Love it!

10 days - March, 2009
Our second stay here (March 2007) and very pleased again.
My wife and I agree this is a wonderful, clean and safe place to stay. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Poolside service and waitstaff always good. Breakfast buffet and food at Duke's is excellent and fairly priced. Fitness Center is smaller but immaculate. Spa is typically pricey but very professional and - soothing.
Society of Seven is entertaining but a little outdated.
If you enjoy lazing near the ocean by day and walking/shopping each evening this is the place to be. With the new Royal Hawaiian shopping center and Beachwalk now mostly open, there are even more places to go. We took the city bus to Diamond Head and hiked up to see the great view of the island. Not too strenuous (we are 50) and still cool in the morning when we went. This year we took a food tour with Hawaiian Food Tours - - a unique trip and very fun and informative. We took their "hole-in-the-wall" tour to small local bakeries, grocery markets and restaurants and had a running commentary from these two fun-loving locals. I think you can find them on
In 2007 we went to Pearl Harbor - the Arizona Memorial and Missouri - a must see - and spent a day at the Ploynesian Cultural Center on the North Shore.
Already planning next trip for 2010 - back at Outrigger on the Beach.
Cant belive how happy we were staying there

I never write reviews, but I picked a good one the 2 best and most popular restaurants are located in this hotel the breakfast buffet was the best priced in town. New door what twice the price in every facit. The beach was great right behind the hotel the water was 4 feet high for about 100 yards out so both of my small children surfed and played in the water save and sound. We went next door for breakfast and it was 27 dollar a person and in our hotel it was 14 for the samething. This one is located accross the street from the international market and far enough from the public beach to only have hotel guest on the beach. Its right in the middle of all the action so you would end up at this place at some point on your vacation anyway. You dont need a car if you stay here all is here with shopping in the lobby and at least 30 ABC stores with in 3 blocks. Goin back in Nov and we will stay there again.
Perfect!

Great family hotel. I stayed in October with my husband and 3 teenage children (1 boy, 2 girls). The hotel was very accomodating and gave us 2 adjoining rooms. There was so much for the kids to do and my husband and I got some great relaxation time on our own. The hotel was very clean and the staff was GREAT with the kids. The International Market is directly across the street so the girls could shop to their hearts content. There was also a great variety of beach activities for my son and the girls had a great time laying on the beach and playing in the water. We snorkeled, went to a luau and had a wonderful time. I definitely recommend this hotel for families that enjoy activities and being on the go. If someone is looking for peace and quiet this may not be the place for them but we had a wonderful time here!
