| What to expect: An air of good cheer and utter casualness prevails, as families and adults seeking to make the most of their Hawaiian vacations mingle happily with one another and the ultra-friendly staff. None of the resort's many facilities and services goes unused, including the two adults-only spas, where contentment seems contagious. From three dining locations, Hawaiian music floats over the property nightly. Amenity highlights: One step from the hotel and guests' toes land in Waikiki Beach's light-colored sand. If that doesn't suit, there's the large kidney-shaped pool, the huge flagstone sundeck, the large family spa, two adults-only spas, and a poolside bar. Just off the sundeck, the full-service, 4,500-square-foot Serenity Spa specializes in exotic Hawaiian treatments. A waterscape sends water burbling over lava rock and through a lush tropical garden, soothing by sight and sound. Insider tip: All OHANA and Outrigger hotels in Waikiki offer interchangeable hospitality. Guests at any hotel are invited to enjoy dining, entertainment, and facilities at the other hotels while charging to their rooms. Exceptions are that the pool at The Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach is reserved for that hotel's guests and that the fitness center at this hotel is reserved for hotel guests and for Outrigger Waikiki Shore guests. Bonus tip: Little booklets titled "Outrigger's Best of Oahu" are widely available on Waikiki's streets. But only those given to OHANA and Outrigger hotel guests contain coupons for dining and shopping discounts. |
