HAWAII Resort Tour | OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort

[@billandlisa]

PSA: The people of Maui and all of our KZbin ohana affected by the tragedy are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We have donated to the Red Cross of Hawaii, Maui Food Bank and encourage our viewers do the same if able to. If cannot, please keep them in your thoughts. We decided to release 2 upcoming Oahu videos (8/23 & 27) in light of the happenings in Maui because we want to spread positivity among our community to remind us all why we love Hawaii so much and to support the businesses we visited. Lahaina, Maui, and its people will persevere in this time of darkness and they will rebuild a community that they'll be able to call home. That we are sure of. We just want to be transparent in explaining our usual happy attitude during the filming of these 2 vlogs. Respectfully, Bill & Lisa

[@NadaBabaHanumanAnanda]

Thank you for your love and support for Hawaii! 🙂❤

[@ginNjus]

Yup.

[@bw2082]

You don’t need to apologize or explain. We all know things happen but life goes on.

[@msavp4481]

Very nice PSA. Prayers to all affected by this tragic event. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@laurieleonard8209]

❤❤❤❤

[@SacOrcas]

Thank you for supporting the efforts and people of Maui. Glad you two made it home safely. Not the easiest decsion to post these vids, but your message is clear...positivity. Our hearts break for Maui and the loved ones that incurre losses. #StandWithMaui

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much!

[@BluelightPhotoart]

Thank you for the simple video. You were able to capture the calmness in the air.

[@Alan-sl7qz]

Wow, August 8 was when the wildfires broke out there, glad you made it back safely, Bill and Lisa🙏

[@jc2333]

The coconut shrimp looks good. The pork sandwich and buffet look good. Another day in paradise? The colllins song.

[@jenniferlauri5512]

It was so nice to see the Outrigger featured---we stayed there years ago and loved the proximity to the beach and Duke's. Thank you for reminding me how great this resort really is!

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome, Jennifer!

[@JodyY808]

What timing! You had no idea what was happening on Maui right at the time you were enjoying yourself in Waikiki. Thank you for your support at this time and always. Most of us in Hawaiʻi still want visitors to come -- Weʻre just recovering economically from the pandemic, and many people and businesses depend on tourism, including those on Maui. Just donʻt go to West Maui, but other places on the island are open, as well as all the other islands, so e komo mai -- please come and spend your money and have a great time!

[@billandlisa]

Mahalo Jody!!

[@KC-gd4vk]

Hi Bill and Lisa. Duke's is part of the TS Restaurant Group. Their very first restaurant was Kimo's in Lahaina, and it opened in 1977. Hula Pie originated at Kimo's. Kimo's was lost in the fire. TS Restaurants has a fund called Legacy of Aloha, which is collecting donations to help their employees affected by the fire. Praying for Maui.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you for the info.

[@harveyh3696]

10:32 Not to be a downer, but seeing the date and time on the TV it appears that you were filming when the disaster in Lahaina was impending. To think that in a days time, so many lives were changed.

[@areldia225]

You guys were so blessed to leave the day of fires started 100 miles away. What a blessing

[@JScott-pt6hm]

Hi Guys my family & I just left Honolulu, we stayed @ the Sheraton Waikiki. our original vacation was Westin in Maui. SO SO SAD!!! but last minute we got flight & room so we could have family vacation. MAUI STRONG!!!

[@pukashelltourguide7400]

Nextime!!

[@msavp4481]

You two are so joyful and really living your life to the fullest! It’s why we all love watching you. I love the split screen when you were tasting your cocktails. I appreciate the time you take to edit your videos so professionally for us!

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much, Sue!! It's about as fancy editing as I get. lol

[@JamesBaker-qx1cx]

I stayed at the outrigger and ate at dukes while on a work trip some 15 years ago. Looks the same! Mahalo

[@bettyzipkin7129]

Thanks for highlighting Duke's and the Outrigger resort. What a gorgeous view from your room. I'm glad the summer travel season is over so you guys can travel more freely.

[@Annie.artist]

Hope you are all safe from the fires..so tragic. Love and prayers to you all. X

[@kamienaughton5964]

Bill and Lisa, LOVE Hawaii! Awesome

[@rickdumas2142]

You kids are always enjoyable! It’s so nice to see you two having a great time and enjoying each other’s company. The Outrigger has always been a favorite place of mine to stay in Waikiki. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@billandlisa]

We appreciate that, Rick. Thanks so much for watching! =)

[@larrykarenflowers9371]

Looks like a great resort. Thanx for sharing. Safe travels.

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@KathleenJWebster]

Great tour of the resort. Thanks for all the information.

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@bobabiz]

You guys are living it up!!!! Have fun!!! 😊

[@areldia225]

Bill is always so safe with his decision of food. What is the most exciting thing he has ever ordered and did it surprise you?

[@bsr6823]

I have not been to Waikiki in so many years. I miss it so much and need to plan a trip.

[@lalaruetangelino2016]

The best thing aside from donating money to Maui is to keep going to ALL parts of Hawaii because these people do not need to lose their livelihoods over a once in a lifetime (hopefully) catastrophe! Important to not drop the ball on this situation and keep donating every so often because this is not going to go away with the interest of the media.

[@mauison]

Yes, especially the other parts of Maui that still need tourist dollars, like Kihei and Wailea. Despite what you might see on social media, Maui and Hawaii are not closed. Please come to Maui, but respect what is going on in Lahaina at this time.

[@disneydreamer1289]

Thank you for the video..watermelon and lemon...if you know you know..love your videos 😊

[@danielvallelunga1596]

Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! Great to 👀see 👀 you both ❤ 😊 👍 👌

[@billandlisa]

Hi Daniel!

[@leilareggie1826]

I lived there and had no idea Duke's offered a $25 breakfast buffet. Wowza. I use to go Sunday afternoons for the live music and drinks ourside on the beach. Best tip for my fortunate return to live on the west side. Wowza. Yes, papaya is the healthiest daily choice for breakfast. ABC is the best gor a quick snack or drink along with the now Japanese owned 7-11 that offers lots of prepared Pacific Rim foods to go. Yummy.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, a great deal for that buffet, especially in Waikiki.

[@gailsiangco5599]

Missing that Chocolate Hula Pie ! We Love Dukes ! Mahalo for sharing you two ! Enjoy ! Aloha !

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@johnshuttleworth983]

I stayed here in the early 90s and it’s fantastic hotel close to everything close to the beach everything but hasn’t changed much as it looks a lot fresher than I remember

[@cynthiatravelingqueen9095]

you guys always do the best videos safe travels god bless you both

[@billandlisa]

Thank you so much, Cynthia!

[@cr8zie]

I want to be Bill and Lisa when I grow up

[@philvie]

Going back in November, love the Outrigger

[@billandlisa]

Have a great time!

[@claytonanzai3090]

Welcome back Bill and Lisa....next time in town check out the new Hyatt Regency buffet

[@calmwell8424]

Love you guys❤. Thanks for sharing your support and love for our Maui family

[@billandlisa]

Always!

[@kylerdad123]

Aloha Bill and Lisa: Mahalo for the post of your short-trip to Waikiki and the delicious offering at Duke’s! The view from the ocean-front dining room was a joy to see. It brought back a lot of good memories of my days in Hawaii. The price price for the breakfast buffet was very reasonable for Waikiki. I can imagine the Portuguese sausage paired well with the kamaaina omelette. Looking forward to the next vlog. Best regards and much 🧧! 🤙

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Bill! Yes, the Duke's breakfast buffet price is hard to beat in Waikiki. Thanks for watching!

[@titasmom678]

Happy you enjoyed your stay. Maybe if you ever are here during Sat/Sun you can check out either 100 Sails, Halekulani or the Kahala brunch/buffets....I think you tried a few trips back, but there were no reservations available.

[@billandlisa]

Yes, would love to try those places, just need Sat & Sun off. Hope to one day!

[@andreas4268]

The buffet price for breakfast seems reasonable but $6.50 for juice, hmmmm….thank you for your review of outrigger too! We appreciate your adventures! 😊💞🎉

[@donnamccormack]

Love this....I went out on an Outrigger there and was so much fun...Great video Guys

[@billandlisa]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@michellel3596]

My hotel home away from home!!! Unfortunately Covid changed so many of the services they offered returning guests, but hopefully that will improve. No Hawaii plans this year, but I really enjoyed visiting through you - made my day!! So sorry for what has happened on Maui but appreciate your efforts!!! Have a great rest of the week 🤗🤗

[@pikakehawaii3763]

[@pizzalibrarian]

Bill and Lisa, you were the ones who told us about Duke’s (through your videos) and we were there the day before you were! We left on the morning of the 8th - Tuesday. I also remember how windy it was on Monday and Tuesday because of Hurricane Dora. Thank you for posting this. Aloha.

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome!

[@lawrenceakini9507]

[@minnie9314]

I’ve been to the Blue Note to see Anuhea… the food is delicious! 👍🏽…I’ll be in Oahu in next week 🥰

[@billandlisa]

Have fun!

[@jamiesnyder5129]

I think the view is so important to me 👏❤️😋🌴🙏

[@khirasquickkashslots]

When I saw the date wasn't the Maui Fire on the 8th. So heartbreaking. My heart just hurts for those people. Thank you for the kind message and my prayers to the people in Maui.

[@janinebain4375]

Looked amazing! Last in the islands in early 80's - Eeekkk, telling my age - and it is still paradise. Viewers, Please donate to those affected by the hurricane if you are able.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you!

[@wshazbot62]

1 and only time I was lucky enough to go to Oahu , I had a drink at dukes . Was so yummy, also stayed at the outrigger your at, we had the top floor suite. It was so great, the pool was cold 😔. But across the street was the beach, only got to stay 3 days. Wasn’t enough time there, this was back in 1995. Hopefully I’ll get to go again 🙏🙏

[@bonniehanson5406]

Absolutely gorgeous thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@billandlisa]

You are so welcome!

[@ForeverChanged7]

[@debrahearn3759]

[@mariog3121]

This resort looks amazing, so much to offer and places to experience !! That dessert looked wonderful - I could have that as my main meal - LOL . Have a great rest of the week ❤❤👍

[@angelazuspan6302]

When you were giving the time during the hotel room tour, my heart dropped. That was literally 2 minutes before the first fire event was called in on Maui. My heart breaks for all those who were effected.

[@karenspruce5153]

Hello from gold coast Australia. Love your videos ❤

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching!

[@yvonneacosta2539]

🙏Maui Hawaii My nephew and his family were there at the same time you were there. I've been rewatching the beach video to see if by any chance they were there at that time too.😂 What a great hotel. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Hawaii.

[@billandlisa]

You’re very welcome, Yvonne!

[@katualfaro5811]

[@billandlisa]

[@billandlisa]

Our pleasure!

[@royalsyl]

Hi Bill and Lisa, FYI There’s a Dukes out here in Huntington Beach in case you get a craving for “Hula Pie” and can’t make a quick trip to Oahu!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the tip!

[@debbellable]

Thanks for the trip to Hawaii, however my condolences go out to families in Maui.

[@lauismadventures]

Check out Tanioka’s in Waipahu. Poke is bomb.

[@pambrown5382]

First visit to Waikiki the room was $35 in 1977 and just across Kalakaua from the beach. Unobstructed view. We go to the BI every year. 136 days and counting 🌺

[@billandlisa]

Oh wow! Great prices back in the day. Have a great time!

[@Judah98]

I went to Honolulu 7 years for a theater competition. Had the time off my life. Want to go back so bad! 🗾🏝️🗿🌴

[@OneManOneCamera]

The split screen was a nice addition.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks!

[@robertbrunson5133]

thinking about going to duke's... like the beach side seating... thanks

[@billandlisa]

Stay tuned for the upcoming Waikiki series, we highlighted Duke's new lunch buffet.

[@robertbrunson5133]

@@billandlisa I think Duke's is the tourist stop with a nice beach ⛱️ view. go for a drink 🍸 and enjoy... food might be better at Hula Grill

[@jeanlalonde629]

I want to go to the Duke's in Huntington Beach for the dessert! I don't think Hawaii is in our future!

[@Christine_1075]

Hello Bill & Lisa I’m going To binge watch your videos because me and my husband would love to come to Honolulu Hawaii for 20th anniversary first time ever with everything close by😊

[@billandlisa]

You’ll love it, Christine!

[@Curtis45100]

OMG!! Amazing!! All of it..... Lol 😜

[@AussieAngeS]

I would really love to go to Hawaii so bad! The hula pie looks magnificent 😍 I a lover of sweets, and that would go down well lol. Thanks you bill and Lisa for all your efforts in making these great videos for us.

[@billandlisa]

That hula pie was amazingly good! Thanks Angie!

[@grandmax4]

Duke’s $29 lunch buffet is even better … AYCE garlic shrimp, kalbi short ribs, kalua pork & cabbage, teriyaki chicken, and made to order fresh poke bowls. 😋 Reservations are recommended. Kamaainas get a 20% discount. Validated parking at Outrigger East 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@billandlisa]

Good to know, thanks!

[@lynnimai945]

I miss the Hawaiian papaya. There is nothing better than this type of papaya. So sweet. No need for lemon in my opinion.

[@debcameron3855]

Stayed there many moons ago. Stayed a month, and I recall a month in Hawaii was a 1000.00 us dollars. It was the best time. Prayers for the ohanas of Maui. 💔 😢 💔

[@Christine_1075]

Bill & Lisa What’s The Different With This And The outrigger beachcomber hotel?

[@billandlisa]

Good question. Not sure, we've never stayed at the beachcomber.

[@Buggy_Kira]

Heck to the yes! My Wednesday just leveled up! Watching the video now! Thanks for making my Wednesday so much better ! ❤

[@billandlisa]

You are so welcome!

[@shealouise222]

Love your channel! Do you remember what room type you booked? was it the city view room? Thanks!!

[@billandlisa]

Thank you! Don't recall what room type, maybe partial ocean?

[@trekkeruss]

I just returned from a five night stay at the Outrigger Waikiki. I booked the cheapest room available on the hotel’s website; they were running Cybersale special rates. After booking, they sent an email offer to upgrade. I was tempted to get an ocean view room, because I have not been back to Hawaii since 1970, and the chance of me visiting again is low. But I was already stretching my budget to stay there (I only booked there because a band I work with was playing at the Blue Note) so I opted to keep my original booking. When I checked in, I asked if the upgrade was still available, and if I might see the room before committing. To sum up my already too long comment, the ocean view room was arguably not as good as my city view room. With the city view, I had almost the identical ocean view, but I also had a great view of Kalakaua Avenue. What you really want (if money is not an issue) is an ocean front room, which faces the beach itself. All that said, I felt the rooms could definitely use an update; a modern Holiday Inn or Hampton Inn has a better appointed room. From what I gather, all the other Outrigger hotels on Oahu have more modern rooms.

[@TheJm129]

Is this the location which has a "grill it yourself" dinner beachside?

[@billandlisa]

Not to our knowledge.

[@ingevandam719]

Hi Bill&Lisa i enjoyed your video and that icecream looked so delicious😊Are you both from Hawaii??Thank you for the video this made my day..with love from Holland 🥰🥰🥰

[@billandlisa]

Thanks so much! We’re both from Los Angeles.

[@shhhaua9426]

Maui Strong 🙏🏾

[@blazegirl74]

Great video. I will be staying in Waikiki in a few weeks with my mom on a 23 hour layover on the way to Seoul and then again on the return. I may have to give Duke's a try. It looks good. Any other must try recommendations in Waikiki? Thanks!

[@billandlisa]

We have several Waikiki eats videos to check out.. Enjoy, you'll love it!
