Fodor's

Oyster
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
"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

"If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
DK Eyewitness
"Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
Fodor's
"Ten minutes from the beach, this tropical plantation-era inn is a fine value for those who want to be in the heart of the action." Full review
Travel + Leisure

"Tucked away behind Gerard’s (Maui’s award-winning French restaurant), this romantic inn was built in 1987 but looks as if it has been here since the days of Hawaiian royalty." Full review
