Beach hotels in Hawaii, United States

Pros: The room's balcony experience was great; the balcony had UV-protective and heat-insulating film. The door lock felt secure. The overall hotel environment and cleanliness were acceptable. The front desk service was friendly, and the ambassador proactively helped with luggage and was very welcoming. Serious Issues (Women guests, please be extremely cautious about privacy and safety): There are major lapses in hotel management, with complete disregard for guest privacy. There is no landline in the hotel room, and the front desk did not call to notify me before arranging for a male ambassador to vigorously knock on my door and then use a card to open it. I was sleeping at the time and was very startled. Less than five minutes later, housekeeping staff again used a card to open the door directly. Having unauthorized entry into my room twice in a row was an extremely poor experience. Used beach towels also had to be brought back to the room as there was no collection point downstairs, which was very inconvenient. The pool was small (not a major issue), and the water quality was very mediocre, making me not want to swim. While the hardware and service attitude were acceptable, there are clear loopholes in room safety management, posing a high risk for guests.

Great location, just a few minutes from Waikiki Beach. We booked an ocean view room, which was beautiful, and the view wasn't obstructed by the parking lot. The balcony was lovely, very relaxing to sit there, eat, and enjoy the ocean view. The best part was that even though I'm not a member, they gave me my room at 12 PM, which was incredibly thoughtful. The Asian cleaning lady was exceptionally kind and enthusiastic every time she saw us. We didn't leave a big tip, but she still thanked us repeatedly and even offered us coffee. Beach towels can be picked up and returned by scanning your room card. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the first floor, opening at 6 AM.

I stayed three nights in a partial ocean view room and four nights in an ocean view room. If the price difference isn't significant, definitely opt for the ocean view room – the experience is so much better (the partial ocean view room barely has any ocean view to speak of). The room itself was decent, and the cleanliness was okay, but the towels had a strange smell. The hotel's location is super convenient. The second floor connects directly to the Ala Moana shopping center, and there's a Don Quijote next door, making it very easy to shop and eat. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride to Waikiki, or a 30-minute walk. Personally, I prefer the nearby Ala Moana Beach, it's very chill. Car rental parking is also convenient. Parking is charged from 1 PM, costing $41 for 24 hours. [Pictures 1 & 2 show the view from Ocean View Room 1915; Picture 3 shows the view from Partial Ocean View Room 1104]

The hotel setting is relatively simple, the overall environment is quite good, close to the beach, the hotel parking is not Ouhugui, self-parking 35, hotel parking 40, there is an important thing! It is necessary to live on the high floor, 10 floors or more is the best, we were arranged to the 3rd floor on the first night, there is a very common kind of annoying Xiaoqiang! Later, I communicated with the hotel at night and changed to the 12th floor. It was really scary. I must live on the high floor! ! The area where the hotel is located is located in Lahaina. There is a place to buy and eat in 5 minutes by car. There is ABC. Don't worry about breakfast. There are also pharmacies nearby. In short, it is not bad. ～

Great location! The airport shuttle bus goes directly to the hotel, taking about 30 minutes. It has ocean views and a swimming pool, and it's just a short walk to the beach. There are plenty of dining options nearby; McDonald's and ABC Stores are right across the street. The staff are very friendly. The largest shopping mall, Ala Moana, is a 13-minute walk or two bus stops away. The rooms come with a refrigerator and coffee maker.

One of those hotels you absolutely *must* stay at. It offers art, culture, family-friendly activities, nature, animal interactions, gardens, lush greenery, and both sea and mountain views... The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded, otherwise, it's perfect!

The room's decor and facilities are outdated, and the cleanliness was just so-so. Plus, the more expensive deluxe sea-view rooms are really far from all the amenities; it took us over twenty minutes just to walk to breakfast and back every day. What's more, we had clearly booked a room with a buffet breakfast included, and our names were on the list and checked upon entry, but when we checked out, they insisted we sign a bill for a tip. This place is definitely not worth the price. I'll never choose this hotel again.

Outstanding service from the moment we arrived at the front entrance. Friendly, knowledgeable staff were able to answer all of our questions and accommodate all our requests. Room was nicely appointed and generously sized with ample room in the walk-in closet for our 8 full-sized checked bags (we stopped through HI in the middle of a move 🙂). Had two double beds and a hid-a-bed which was perfect for our family of four. The small refrigerator in the room was just the right size for water bottles and some snack/breakfast food we picked up at the Target just across the street. Appreciated being able to check out fresh beach towels pool-side each day. That saved a lot of suitcase space. The balcony was just large enough for a small table and two chairs to catch a great view of the ocean. The hotel is located between prime beachfront on the one side and the International Marketplace on the other, everything you need is within easy walking distance. The kids enjoyed the beginner surf lessons available beachside through Faith Surf Academy, and being able to rent a board to continue surfing over subsequent days. Waves were perfect for beginners and despite there being a fair number of other visitors, there was plenty of room to swim, play, and enjoy the water, though space on the beach itself was a bit tight at times. The one shortcoming we experienced was there not being any self-service laundry on-site. It seems there used to be, but it's unavailable with the current renovation project underway, and I'm unsure whether they intend for it to be part of the updated plan or not. Paid laundry service is available, but we opted to walk down the road to a laundromat. All in all, the whole family enjoyed our time at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and would recommend it.

I booked this hotel for the ocean front view as a treat for my 50th Birthday. The welcome I received on arrival at 11pm after flying for 18hrs on 2 flights from the UK was underwhelming. The lady on the desk was polite, but no interaction of 'how was your flight' 'where are you visiting from' 'you're celebrating your birthday with us etc...' I had a room in the beach tower on the 17th floor and the view was fabulous as expected, however for the proce I paid the room itself is very basic and not what I would call 5 star. The bathroom is was tiny and the only space to move is the width of the door and the carpets on way in the room are tired. The hotel lobby and oceanarium are more in keeping with a 5star luxury hotel and well looked after. I asked on 3 occasions about keeping my room on until 6/7pm.due to a late flight out on day of check out hiwever was continually told to ask the day before check out where despite offering to pay was told it was not possible. They did kindly agree for me to keep the room until 12 and could store my luggage. I came back and few hours later to change for my flight and wait in the lobby and was unable to use the toilet facilities in the lobby as didnt have a guest key card and they coukdnt provide me one to use.... very poor. Pros I used the lei making class and the gentleman James was lovely, guys on concierge and Bell desk were great. Very comfy bed, great to have an iron/board, hairdryer, kettle and coffee machine in room. Great location at a quieter end of Kalakaua Ave, right opp the beach and an ABC shop linked opp the lift of the beach tower. Cons Reception is lacking in 5 star service. Personally I wouldn't stay here again. Which is a shame as I had high hopes prior to arrival.

The hotel itself is better than expected; You can tell that they went through a massive renovation in order to give a chill vibes based stay (on the outside). Inside of the room, it’s definitely an old hotel… I liked the furniture, but the windows were too open for my liking (you get the feeling that anyone can look into your room); Not as much of an issue since we used the curtains! The bath towels were covered in hair (ranging from long strands to tiny ***** pieces) which I found to be disgusting. The staff were more than willing to switch out the towels (there was still hair on them but a little dusting off mainly did the job). There was tiny ***** hair pieces in the bathtub as well, but I washed them down the drain so no biggie. The main issue that I had with this stay was that you could hear everything that was going on in rooms next door or outside. We heard loud screaming and fighting into the early ams, and it took a while for them to stop. This is not the hotel’s fault, but if you do stay here, keep in mind that the rooms aren’t very spacious, you can hear everything, and there might be hair in your towels. Overall, I really loved staying here and found it to be quite charming. The view in front of the hotel is INSANE. Though I listed negative traits about this hotel, I feel that it’s important to give some transparency to readers of this review. Mostly everyone goes into a hotel thinking that it’s 1000% clean and perfect. However, for me, the negative reviews are what I look for so that I know what to expect. You will definitely love the vibes and views this hotel has to offer, as well as the friendliness of the staff who worlds here.
