  Joenny embodies the Aloha Spirit

  Joenny is simply the best pool guy at the Reef! We have been visiting the reef for over 15 years and he has been one of the reasons we love coming back-friendly, attentive, and always has a smile on his face. His positive energy and dedication to guests truly make a difference. Mahalo Joenny and salamat for all you do

  Great Experience!

  We had a wonderful stay at OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort! Quick and efficient valet service, beachfront location, and walking distance to shops and attractions. The pool staff were fantastic, especially Joenny, who went above and beyond to help us enjoy the facilities. Great hospitality and an overall lovely experience!

  Ok stay

  Just stayed at this hotel for 10 days in September, we where on the 11th floor in one of the renovated rooms, which I must say was beautiful! The staff were polite and very helpful BUT the renovation work was a bit much to take, being woken at 6.15am to the sound of a large skip being dropped off was a bit much, the sound of banging and drilling and most days it was chaos along the walkway out onto the main street with the flow of guest, workmen and trolleys taking furniture etc into the hotel. We flew from England and didn't experience the best in this hotel at all, a bit of a disappointment although the surrounding areas are amazing to see, im sure when these renovations are completed we would recommend this hotel unfortunately because of travel and cost won't be possible for us to experience again.

  Ran by the dream team <3

  I LOVE the staff here! So friendly and such good hospitality. Denis, Rick and Ambrose really helped make our honeymoon special. I never leave reviews, but I was so pleased with how they went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful! We stayed at a hotel that was triple the cost before this one and the staff didn’t even compare. The hotel is in a perfect area. We were so excited to be so close to the beach, have monekypod downstairs and be so close to good food and shopping. I’d recommend this to any honeymooners and will come back on my next visit!!

  Police report didn’t make a difference

  The hotel was nice, but the customer service and loyalty were adequate AT BEST. On the 3rd night of our stay, our 34 old son went out to the beach part of the property, which is smaller than a tennis court. He placed his belongings on a towel and was approximately 10 feet away in 6"of water facetiming his best friend. While he was doing this, a person, took his towel and all it's belongings. The police officer, determined that the hotel was fully liable as the towel was on the hotel property. While working with the police, we learned that the resort chooses NOT to have cameras outside their property, so they don't have to get involved with the courts WHEN these robberies happen. Considering the amount of homeless people hanging out back on the very small piece of property, I find this choice incredulous as it wouldn't take much to protect the hotel guests. In fact, when I brought up the robbery later to hotel employee, he barely acted surprised, which I found strange. To make the situation even worse, the hotel's response was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTTING. The following morning, my husband and I addressed this issue with the front desk and were told they were about to do a shift change, and a manager would be calling within the hour to discuss. FOUR hours later, I went to the hotel manager, Denis. He stood before me with a blank stare as I shared the story. Finally, he shrugged his shoulders and said "your son left his belongings unattended, what do you want me to do? " Which he repeated three times. NO EMPATHY, NO SUGGESTIONS, NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that there is a homeless issue outside of their hotel which could be easily controlled due to the size of the property. He FINALLY offered $100 credit to my room. Considering we spent $3,351 for the two rooms, I was speechless. Only because I had to leave for the airport, I asked him to add $100 credit to my son's room and walked away in complete disgust. The saddest part of it all, a beautiful holiday was COMPLETELY ruined because of their lack of ownership.
