Sand Island Ski Holidays

We had a great stay at the Outrigger Waikīkī Paradise Hotel. It was centrally located and we loved that we were able to walk many places or take a short drive to get to destinations. The property itself is well maintained with great staff. And I liked that they had weekly activities on site for guests. My only cons are: there weren’t any complimentary waters or any way to buy water at the property. They have a water machine in the lobby though so bring a reusable bottle. The rooms also didn’t have a microwave to rewarm food but I’ve come to expect that these days. And lastly, the shower is pretty small which may be an issue for some, but I didn’t mind it. Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would stay again.

TRIP RUINED BY BUILDING WORKS I spent a fortune on one of the best rooms and the room was truly stunning but the pool experience was terrible. They had full construction going on at the Tower and the noise ruined my trip. I tried sitting with ear plugs in but all I heard was drilling and dust everywhere. The hotel itself is ridiculously stunning and I will always love this hotel but there are a few pointers. Aggressive breakfast staff. Unfriendly and pushy. In out mentality with no kindness or Aloha spirit. Felt like New York. My maid was horrible. She was definitely looking for tips and would fake this ‘what room are you in?’ chat but when we were struggling to pack and leave our room she became unfriendly and grumpy. Also an older Hawaiian pool attendant shouted at me like a child to move my pool lounger. Very very rude!!! This man genuinely shouldn’t be working here as he lets your hotel down. So beautiful hotel, BAD STAFF! And no disclosure on building works.
