This star jewel of Outrigger Hotels & Resorts sits on one of the finest strands of Waikiki Beach. The guest rooms in the16-story no-smoking resort have rich dark-wood furnishings, Hawaiian art, and lanai that offer either ocean or Waikiki-skyline views. The popular Duke's Canoe Club has beachfront concerts under the stars. Waikiki Plantation Spa offers Hawaiian seaweed wraps, hot-stone massages, and wedding packages. Pros: The best bar on the beach is downstairs, free Wi-Fi in lobby. Cons: The lobby feels a bit like an airport with so many people using it as a throughway to the beach.
