Outrigger Waikiki Beach or Sheraton Waikiki

Tough time deciding between these two hotels for an October visit. Cost is virtually the same.

Is there construction still at the Sheraton? Is it bothersome?

Which is better as far as:

Pool area and ability to get chairs

Beach area

Room quietness and bed

Hotel activities

Overall atmosphere

Looking for opinions one way or the other. Thanks....

Outrigger Waikiki Beach or Sheraton Waikiki

We have stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach several times, most receontly April %26#39;06. We felt it offers good value for a beachfront property with fairly fresh (not worn out) rooms. The ocean view rooms did give a good vantage on the beach scene.

Downside: noise comes thru the doors so if people are noisy in the halls you ehar it, elevators are incerdibly slow, ground level area is chaotic--the reception is up the escalator and it gets better once you are there.

It is on the best part of the beach. We did not use the pool, so can%26#39;t speak to that. We also do not use beach chairs, so can%26#39;t speak to that (we prefer to lie on towels on the sand). They hava a catamaran that leaves 3 times a week for snorkeling; other sailing and sunset cruise operators leave from nearby on the beach. I believe there is an activity desk (did not use). Overall atmosphere is not deluxe, elegant, or luxury but it IS friendly, clean, cheerful, well priced for the location. We definitely would stay there again.

Outrigger Waikiki Beach or Sheraton Waikiki

Both are comparable, a lot of people prefer Outrigger more. Construction is going on at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center which is directly in front of the Sheraton, and right next to the Outrigger, so both will be in close proximity. I would advise to go with Outrigger, but you won%26#39;t be disappointed either way. Stick with the best value if they are significantly different.


we just got back from Oahu and stayed at the Sheraton Waikik in an oceanfront room. Although the view was breathtaking, the room was very small.... almost claustrophobic..and the bathroom setup was weird...it had a pocket door, and then 2 upper half doors with a mirror on them, that opened into the room..?? I guess you could sit on the loo and enjoy the view at the same time...

We only paid half price for the room but still felt it was way too much $$$ for the teeny room..the elevators were real quick though...


We have stayed at Outrigger Waikiki twice (Aug. of both 2004 and 2005) and really love it there. It has a fantastic location on Waikiki, and the 2 restaurants (Duke%26#39;s and Hula Grill) are both fantastic.

This summer we are going to Maui and BI, but next time we go to Waikiki, we will be staying at the Outrigger again!
