"There are 2 restaurants under the hotel on the street level. They are a pizza, light meals and bar establishment open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and the other is a Japanese Teppanyaki dinner house. We ate at both. Both were good and were able to help my spouse who has many food allergies to have a safe eating experience. At Tanaka's of Japan, they treated us like royalty, giving us a personal dining experience so that he had no issues.
The hotel and it's employees were great!
The mattress was 100% foam on a sheet of plywood. Way too soft for our liking. The amenities were ok. I really think at almost $300. per night they could have a shampoo and a conditioner, real cups and glasses not paper, and a way to have a drink at the pool.
I loved the lei making class in the lobby on Friday morning with Mark. So much fun and a great way to meet other travelers. The Activities Desk salesperson, Jules was also lovely and when I asked where we could get a Hawaiian drink with an umbrella, she suggested a sunset cruise with unlimited drinks. We did that and had a blast.
I was skeptical about staying in Waikiki but am very glad we stayed in Waikiki and would likely stay again at the Outrigger Paradise. Hoping for a better mattress, though!"
