"In short, one of the best Waikiki choices in its price range." Full review
Lonely Planet "Looking sharp after a recent remodel, this Outrigger eschews the hoity-toity attitudes of its higher-priced beachfront neighbors." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With direct access to Waikiki Beach, the Outrigger Reef on the Beach resort has a decidedly Hawaiian feel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located right on the beach near Ft. DeRussy, this hotel’s highlights are a swimming pool, nightly Hawaiian entertainment, and the oceanside Serenity Spa."
Star Service "Located near its peer and sibling, Outrigger Waikiki, this place continues to be one of Waikiki's busiest beach hotels, and standards are the highest this chain has to offer." Full review

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.

Frommer's "Not only do you get the value and quality of the Outrigger chain... you also get a terrific Waikiki Beach location and prices much lower than this property's neighbors." Full review
Fodor's "Renovated in 2012, this star of Outrigger Hotels & Resorts sits on one of the finest strands of Waikiki Beach." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"It's location over luxury at the 524-room Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach -- it's in the heart of the action on one of Waikiki's best beaches." Full review
Lonely Planet "If you want a heavy-duty party atmosphere, the Outrigger Waikiki is your ticket. It sits on perhaps the most popular stretch of Waikiki beach, where you can see and be seen, day and night." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This oceanfront hotel is the jewel in the crown of the Outrigger chain. The 500 guest rooms feature Polynesian decor."
Star Service "Plunked down between The Royal Hawaiian and Moana Surfrider, this remains one of Waikiki's most efficiently run beachfront hotels." Full review
BlackBook "The beachfront setting is more than breathtaking, the location is better than most and rocks with lots of restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment."
Afar Magazine "It’s right on the beach, just north of the main resort cluster, and though a short walk to the middle of the action, far enough to feel out of the fray." Full review
Gayot "The best feature at the Outrigger's flagship property is its central location on the beach in the middle of Waikiki."
Lonely Planet "The 524 rooms are generic and look like they could be anywhere in the world, but at least they're close to the beach (and have balconies and fridges). " Full review
