"This bland, 578-room high-rise 10 to 15 minutes from the main Waikiki action -- and, alas, its beach -- features strong service and two good restaurants." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Every room at this marinafront hotel overlooks the picturesque Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. There are two award-winning restaurants: Prince Court offers Hawai’i cuisine, Hakone traditional Japanese."
Star Service

Gayot

Mid-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

BlackBook
"The beachfront setting is more than breathtaking, the location is better than most and rocks with lots of restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment."

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
