OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

Not bad. It's located at the very end of Waikiki Beach, which makes it relatively quiet, but it's super convenient for walking to the beach and finding places to eat right outside. It's next to the Halekulani and Sheraton, so the overall surroundings are quite nice. Facilities: They're okay. It looks like it's been recently renovated, but the bathroom is small and doesn't have a bathtub. The balcony faces the pool downstairs, and you can hear live music at night. Environment: The beach is pretty small, but I was pleasantly surprised to see sea turtles in the morning! Service: The hotel offers a lot of activities, some free and some paid, so you can pick and choose. At check-in, you get a towel card, which lets you borrow only two towels per day, and you have to pay if you lose the card. Parking is very expensive.

The surrounding area has convenient shops and restaurants. The stay was comfortable, and the service was good. It's right by the sea, perfect for sunbathing on the beach. The food was excellent, and the cocktails were delicious! The atmosphere was great both day and night. Having a balcony was really convenient for drying swimsuits.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient to get around. The front desk staff were very helpful, and check-in was quick. There are free activities available every day, and some paid excursions like island hopping. My only complaint is that it was a bit noisy at night.

Fantastic location, with a surf school right next door – super convenient!
