    Loved my stay will go again, just a bit more clarity on room service charges would be helpful. For example, two burgers and fries was $75.

    Prime location to the beach, stores, restaurants, and activities.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, very close to the beach, and there were plenty of fun activities nearby. The hotel also has wonderful shops and restaurants with delicious cuisine. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more pleasant. We especially enjoyed the complimentary lei-making activity at the hotel — it was such a fun and authentic Hawaiian experience. Everything made our vacation truly enjoyable, and we would definitely come back again!

    We didn’t enjoy the breakfast at Monkeypod. We tried it once, and decided it wasn’t for us. The other family in our group had included breakfast in their booking but a few times opted to get breakfast from Starbucks (in the building) instead and not take up the included breakfast as they also weren’t enjoying it. The hotel is surrounded by other breakfast places just a stroll away so it isn’t actually a deterrent for the hotel. I should add that we didn’t try monkeypod for any other meals but it must have been good otherwise as it was very busy every night till late!

    Fantastic location - you can walk to Waikiki beach in 10 mins if you want bigger waves and a more lively environment, or just walk out onto the beach directly in front of the hotel(DeRussy) which has calmer waters and is more quiet. There are some rocks here so you may want water shoes…but keep walking down for a few minutes (you can only go to the right) and the 3rd sandy patch along has little to no rocks in the water. Having both types of beaches in close proximity was amazing - we loved starting the day on the more busy Waikiki beach and having a quiet sunset on the hotel beach later (there are fireworks on Friday nights around 8pm!) The staff at the hotel are all lovely too, from the receptionists, to the people at the towel desk, to cleaning staff….everyone is very helpful and friendly. There are cultural activities going on as well that you can join, yoga classes twice a week and live music every evening. It really is a perfect place to stay and we would definitely come here again.

    The wristband bracelets/room access, at times they didn't read them very well. Most of the time it took at least 2 or 3 tries to open our room door and the bathrooms in the lobby.

    Good location, nice room and very accessible to the beach/beaches

    I had a wonderful stay at OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. The location is perfect — right on the beach with easy access to everything in Waikiki. My room was clean, beautifully decorated, and had an amazing ocean view. The staff were warm and welcoming from the start. I especially appreciated the live Hawaiian music in the evenings and the relaxing atmosphere throughout the resort. The pool, beach bar, and on-site dining made it easy to enjoy every moment without leaving the property. It truly felt like a tropical getaway. I would definitely return.

    It would be great if there were microwaves in the room.

    The proximity to surf breaks like Populars and Three’s is incredible! 24/7 surfboard and luggage storage is available at the bell hop station. The rooms are recently updated and the bed was comfy. We loved the Mai Tai at the Monkeypod restaurant attached to the hotel. Special thanks to staff member Kawiki, who was super welcoming and gave me a great breakdown of the various surf breaks in the area. The rest of the staff were very friendly, too. Mahalo!
