"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.

Concierge "Halekulani's little-sister property, this 297-room tower isn't beachfront... and has no grounds to speak of. What it does have is terrific bang for your buck."
Fodor's "The guest rooms in this high-rise complex have modern minimalist furnishings but give a nod to the tropics by keeping plantation-style shutters that open out to the lanai." Full review

"This well-priced boutique hotel appeals to foodies and families." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the moment you enter the elegant lobby, the Parc exudes an urban (and urbane) vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price."
Star Service "Located across the street from its stellar sibling Halekulani and a two-minute walk from the beach, this is a trendier pocket-size version of its neighbor." Full review
Gayot "Tucked in back of the gigantic Sheraton Waikiki hotel, this property was recently gutted and redone with new elegant trimmings with a chic and modern theme."
Frommer's "This hotel is a great Waikiki secret, designed for the 20s-to-30s crowds." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Halekulani’s sister hotel lies just across the street from its (much more) expensive sibling." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Offers stunning guestrooms and suites, as well as amenities that include guaranteed early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast at Halekulani Bakery and Restaurant"
