Keep in mind that there is a big difference between the Oceanfront and Ocean View, with Oceanfront being the ones to request.
BlackBook "On one of the prime oceanfront spots in the Beachwalk area of Waikiki sits this longtime favorite hotel."
Gayot "Now the queen of the Outrigger empire, this non-smoking property underwent a complete $110 million makeover to create an elegant oceanfront haven offering a commitment to Hawaiian culture."

Be sure to visit the poolside Kani Ka Pila Grille, where island entertainment is featured every night from 6 to 9 p.m. The property's highlights include its oceanfront location and full service amenities, including an on-site car rental and complimentary day spa and fitness center.
