Outrigger Reef on the Beach

Fodor's Review:

At this writing, the Outrigger Reef is undergoing a thorough renovation, to be completed in mid-2008. The project incorporates a Hawaiian voyaging-design theme, expanded room size, larger and more contemporary bathrooms—including full-size bathtubs in what was previously an all-shower hotel—and a new signature restaurant, though the Shore Bird and Ocean House remain. What had been a plain but pleasant oceanfront bargain now offers polished elegance in keeping with its prime location. Though the inland Pacific Tower, which reopens mid-year, will have been renovated more recently, it's worthwhile to go for an ocean view or oceanfront accommodation in the already-completed Ocean Tower; other rooms have less enchanting views, and noisy construction on the Trump Towers across the street will continue into 2009. New features include smoke-free rooms, flat-screen TVs, and free long distance to the U.S. mainland and Canada. Pros: On beach, direct access to Waikiki Beach Walk. Cons: Proximity to Trump Tower construction.
