This hotel is right on the beach. The decor has a Hawaiian feel with all the modern amenities. The Ocean Tower is worth the extra money here. The pool area can be very busy because some other Outrigger properties have access to it. Their lobby offers a sit-down check-in rather than standing in long lines. Their Shorebird Restaurant is good. Rooms facing the Waikiki Shore are uncomfortably close to that building. You can practically reach over and peel the paint off their walls, and some of those rooms don’t have a lanai. There are lots of Hawaiian cultural demonstrations, activities and nightly local big-name entertainment. Lots of connecting rooms here. Rooms (340–405 sq. ft.) are $489–$819, suites (589–2,151 sq. ft.) are $709–$5,559. Few pay the rack rate here.
