Location, location, location! This Outrigger is right on Waikiki Beach, across from Fort DeRussy, with beautifully appointed rooms, excellent service and a myriad of activities, shops, and restaurants. This is a big hotel with three towers and a megalobby connecting them. Off the lobby is an enormous swimming pool, with some 300 chaise longues surrounding it, three whirlpool spas, and food and cocktail service within hailing distance. Throughout the lobby are enough shops to qualify as a mini-shopping mall. And, of course, beautiful Waikiki is in the back yard. The rooms have the usual well-designed, well-appointed Outrigger furnishings and decorations with great views and plenty of extra room to have a couple of kids bedding down. Blackout drapes are a nice touch for jet-lagged travelers, as is a hospitality room for early check-ins or late checkouts.

Facilities: 3 restaurants (including the Shorebird Beach Broiler, an immensely popular oceanside spot offering buffet breakfasts and broil-your-own dinners); 3 bars with Hawaiian entertainment plus poolside sports bar; giant outdoor pool; 24-hr. fitness room; 3 Jacuzzis; children's program; concierge; activity desk; business center (Mon-Fri 8am-4pm); large shopping arcade; salon; room service 7am-10pm; massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; concierge-level rooms.
