Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach

The same value and quality that I've come to expect in every Outrigger hotel are definitely in evidence here, only multiplied by a factor of 10. Even the standard rooms in this 16-story oceanfront hotel are large and comfortable. The prime beachfront location and loads of facilities help make this one of the chain's most attractive properties. Even if you aren't staying here, wander through the renovated lobby, filled with rare and historic Hawaiian artifacts (like a century-old canoe made of koa). The guest rooms all have huge closets, plenty of amenities, and a spacious lanai; the price is entirely dependent on the view. Roomy bathrooms feature granite vanity tops, ceramic floor tiles, and lighted makeup mirrors. Just added: free high-speed Internet connection (most hotels charge $11 a day) and free phone calls to Hawaii and the U.S. mainland. If money is no object, book the Deluxe Oceanfront units, which feature oversize Jacuzzi bathtubs with ocean views of Waikiki Beach. Don't miss the Hula Grill Waikiki and the Waikiki Plantation Spa (tel. 808/926-2880; www.waikikiplantationspa.com), located in the penthouse, which affords fabulous views. Another great amenity is the flight check-in service: Hawaiian Airlines customers can check in and get boarding passes and luggage tags in the lobby (daily 7:30-11:30am) and avoid the lines at the airport.

Facilities: 3 restaurants (including Hula Grill Waikiki and Duke's Waikiki); 3 bars; showroom w/nightly entertainment; babysitting; year-round children's program; concierge; concierge-level rooms; fitness center; Jacuzzi; giant outdoor pool; room service; new Waikiki Plantation Spa; watersports equipment rentals
