OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed the friendly staff and cleanliness of the facility. We were informed that we we supposed to get seven free breakfast vouchers and a room upgrade for being Expedia gold members and the length of our stay. We enjoyed our breakfast, but did not receive the room grade because the resort was fully booked. Even at full capacity the resort was not crowded like the other hotels and resorts that we visited in Waikiki. The resort’s food, music and atmosphere was very enjoyable and relaxing."
