The hype
The location is a 10/10, but the rooms feel tired and the elevators are painfully slow.
Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort
$250-450/ natt
Boka detta om You want to be in the absolute epicenter of the action where the beach, the bar, and the bed are all within stumbling distance.
Varför människor älskar det
- Direct access to Duke's Waikiki (the most famous bar on the beach)
- Unbeatable location right on the sand in the middle of the strip
- Voyager 47 Club Lounge offers legit value with oceanfront breakfast and sunset drinks
Snabb Överblick: It’s a high-energy party hotel that trades quiet luxury for unbeatable location and vibes—bring earplugs and a tolerance for crowds.
Recenserat av @Queen_bougieonabudget: I was obsessed with the artistic vibe here! The cafe downstairs was my daily go-to for great coffee and a chill workspace. Plus, having a balcony view of the iconic Pink Palace and the ocean made every morning feel special. It’s the perfect mix of style and location.

Reality check
You are paying for the view and the access, not the room quality—expect worn furniture and 'dated' decor unless you snag a renovated unit.
- You thrive on energy and want to be where the party is
- You plan to surf every morning (beach services are right there)
- You love live music and don't mind hearing it from your balcony
Renlighet & Underhåll
7
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, but reports of 'rushed' cleaning and missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout lines can be discolored; low water pressure is a common complaint.
- Maintenance: The property is showing its age. Peeling paint and worn carpets are common complaints pre-renovation.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality. Not luxury, but clean. Beach towels are provided but can run out by midday.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like flowers and sea breeze; hallways can smell musty or like damp carpet.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's an outdoor freshwater pool. It's small and refreshing, but not a heated bath.
Can I hear the music from Duke's in my room?
Yes, especially if you are in an Oceanfront or Partial Ocean View room on floors 2-10. It usually stops by 10-11 PM.
Is the Voyager 47 Club worth the upgrade?
Yes, if you drink alcohol and eat breakfast. The views from the lounge are spectacular and it saves you ~$100/day in dining costs.
How bad is the construction noise?
Starting March 2, 2026, expect significant noise in the lobby and hallways during the day (9 AM - 5 PM).
Does the hotel have its own beach chairs?
They have a beach service, but umbrellas and chairs often cost extra to rent on the sand itself (managed by a third party).
Is there a resort fee?
Yes, approximately $50 USD per night + tax. It covers Wi-Fi, beach towels, and cultural activities.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Pai's Deli is a hidden gem inside the hotel (near the laundry) for cheap, healthy sandwiches and smoothies.
- ✨
You can order food from Hula Grill to go and eat it on your balcony for a private oceanfront dinner.
- ✨
The 'City View' rooms often face the back of the International Market Place—noisy and not pretty.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The elevators are notoriously slow and one is often out of service.
💡There is no 'adults-only' pool area; it is a splash zone for kids.
💡The 'Partial Ocean View' can sometimes mean 'if you lean over the railing and squint'.
💡You can access the beach directly from the lower lobby without crossing any streets.
💡The hotel shares its space with the Blue Note Hawaii, so you can catch world-class jazz without leaving the building.
