OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel
The HawaiiGuide Read: A note before the numbers: this property was renovated and rebranded in October 2024 and is now the Outrigger Waikīkī Paradise Hotel — no longer flying the OHANA value flag. It sits a couple of blocks inland on Kaʻiulani Avenue, on land that was once part of Princess Kaʻiulani's ʻĀinahau estate. Ratings hover around 4.0 across more than 2,100 reviews, below the island median, but that average blends years of pre-renovation stays with the new product.
Best for: travelers who want a freshly renovated room near the International Market Place without a front-row rate. Skip it if: you book on track record — the blended score is mid-pack, and the post-renovation record is still short.
Our read: the rebrand raised the property's ambitions, and the rating hasn't caught up in either direction yet. Compare the Vive nearby, which rates around 4.5. Context: our Waikīkī area guide.
How we write these: we look at the performance data across the whole spectrum of Hawaii properties — guest ratings, review patterns, location, value — and tell you our honest findings. Some booking links earn us a commission at no cost to you; the read itself isn't for sale.
