Waikiki Shore By Outrigger

Waikiki Shores has many management companies that rent condos for individual owners of Waikiki Shores. Every management rental company has their own standards for quality condo units and every owner has their own preference to keep their condo updated or go with a different rental company with different standards.
People that comment on this site should definitely mention what rental management company they went through & the condo room number, because of the different standards. People that comment tend to when they’re not happy instead of when they are pleased, which is not fair to condo owners that spend $ 50k to hundreds of thousands to remodel their condo or management companies that try hard to please their guests.
Castle Resorts has their reception desk in the lobby, Outrigger Reef rents condos, but they are located next-​door & staff has to come over to help check in, as does many of the other rental companies have to greet you personally because they do not pay rent to have a lobby reception desk.
The Condo numbers of units start out at the oceanfront at 00 & move away from the ocean up to 18. This numbering system is on every floor. Two bedroom units are on each end of building (00,18), the rest of the units are studios (04,05,14,15)for two people & The one bedrooms units are in between the other unit, for up to four people. You must also use common sense and knowing that there are Oceanview’s on all floors but the higher you go, the closer to the ocean you get the better the view. Also different rental companies have different prices for units. If you go online to book you should take that into consideration. it’s wise to compare pricing, companies, & unit number for the best experience unless you are only looking for a place to lay your head in the most exciting resort, restaurant, nightlife, shopping, and Waikiki beachfront units at your front door. It would be wise to also price hotels in that same area just to see how much more you would be paying at a hotel over Waikiki Shores which is the ONLY condo on Waikiki Beach.

Don’t know where to start with this review, just got back from there we stayed in studio 815. It was supposed to be a ocean view what we got was a part ocean view part army museum roof so not what we were expecting. We thought they would be more clear and tell you not a full ocean view. The place was so old and dated it was like a college dorm with a kitchenette. I would guess it hasn’t been updated since the eighties. The carpet was stained, the bed was like a rock, and the only new thing in this place was the tv. Also like other reviewers said when we arrived there it was confusing. We asked the front desk person we were here to check in and he grunted. He barely wanted to tell us we had to pick up the phone and dial o which we did and the lady told us there would be someone right over to help us. 15 minutes later no one showed up so my husband called again and they said sorry. They again told us that someone with be right with us so in total 25 minutes later we were shown up to the condo. The guy seemed rushed as I think a lot of people were arriving at the
same time. He gave us the keys and the rules and was on his merry way. I guess he wanted out of there before we started looking at the place. We met the manager in the lift and we told him we weren’t happy with the unit that it was old and not updated. He said he would make a note of it and couldn’t wait to get out of the lift. For the money we felt we way overpaid. We have stayed in many condos in different countries and were always happy. We booked this so if we felt like cooking we could, but the counter space was a joke. No way you could comfortably cook there. The place I have to say was clean, but take my advice before u stay here. Do your homework, make sure u are getting what your are paying for. We sure didn’t.

Definitely only a 2 or 3 star. Housekeeping a hit or miss, we had to complain 2x and they never swept at all. The bed was SO HARD and it is 2 twins, not a real king size. The kitchen was great though with utensils, pans, gas stove. The view was nice but don’t be fooled: it is part side view. Would we stay again? probably not. But it did satisfy our needs for the week.

This place is pretty bad. I feel like I’m not real picky about hotels, it’s not like you’re buying the place so really you can handle most things for a short time. But really? $ 200 for this is ridiculous!
There is no desk to check in. You have to call in the waiting area and wait some time for someone to come and check you in. It’s in a hot, muggy area. After a long flight it seems endless.
Then you get to the room. First off it isn’t a king bed. It’s two twins pushed together, that is not the same. There is a fairly large lump in the middle where they are joined.
And we had one towel when we got there. I’m serious, one towel. Not a hand towel, no wash rag, nothing else. And it was not easy to get more towels. It took us until the third day to get a wash rag.
It’s pretty dated and dirty. I went to shower for the first time and there were long strands of hair in the shower. Ewe!
The location is great if you can get past all that. I would say you can get something much nicer for the same price. We have stayed many times in much nicer places for the same price or less. It was stupid to think we were getting a nice place by staying at an outrigger.
