Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

Landed in Honolulu with a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Ready to have fun in Waikiki! 🌺

You know that image in your mind of Waikiki Beach, the one with Diamond Head in the distance and outrigger canoes in a turquoise bay of warm water? That’s what you have at Duke’s plus great music and fun! Our Outrigger Advisory Board definitely had fun and laughs – Thank you Outrigger Resorts!

With two of the only seven true beachfront resorts in Waikiki, Outrigger is a great option for your vacation. Between the Reef and Waikiki Beach, there are so many choices, the suites are beautiful! This is the Coral Reef Suite and the Voyager 47 Club.

We decided to take advantage of the new nonstop flight to Honolulu from SNA and spend a few days in Waikiki.

We stayed at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower in a two bedroom unit with a spectacular view!! It’s actually across the street from the beach but there are no buildings on the beach in front of the hotel. They don’t have the full service resort amenities but there is a pool and gym and right in the middle of everything so food, restaurants and entertainment everywhere.

Brunch at the Ritz Carlton was delicious. They have an outdoor area with restaurants and pool, cabanas halfway up. They are set back in the city, so not on the beach, but still have nice views of the water.

Dinner and drinks at Dukes is obligatory in Waikiki. We had cocktails at the Voyager 47 Club in the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. They have the perfect location and best views on Waikiki Beach. Dukes is always a fun place, great music on the beach, tiki touches, ambiance and good food.

After a drive around Oahu, we ended up at Aulani, A Disney Resort in Ko Olina. It’s a beautiful family resort.

Good bye Aston Waikiki Beach and on to our next stop, The Beachcomber!

The Reef is towards the end of the beach so it’s in a small sliver but has great views! It is almost done with its renovation and looks amazing!

We took a family trip to Hawaii and stayed in Waikiki at the Sheraton Waikiki. I remember being excited because it was the same hotel they stayed at in the Brady Bunch!

We loved Benihana because it was exciting and they actually did knife shows where they actually threw them.

More pics to come, have to find them!
