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

"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

BlackBook "Smack in the middle of legendary surf breaks, golden sand beaches and the North Shore's "pray for surf" scene, this resort is in the midst of what makes Hawaii surf culture world famous."
Condé Nast Traveler "This 840-acre spot is the one and only resort on Oahu’s rugged North Shore, home to some of the best surfing in the world." Full review
Zagat4.0
"For a "romantic escapade" that feels "light-years away" "from the hubbub of Waikiki", this "breathtaking" and "very private" resort offers "incredible" Pacific views."
Afar Magazine "Shaka! We got to stay on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu for two weeks in December. Typical beautiful Hawaii winter weather, the rain and clouds would usually break in the late..." Full review
Gayot "Casual, quiet and seasonally lively, this resort is located about 45 minutes from the Honolulu Airport and the shopping and nightlife of Waikiki."
The Telegraph8.0
"The only resort on Oahu’s North Shore, Turtle Bay offers activities from surfing to golfing that encourage guests to both relax in and interact with this remote and world famous setting." Full review
