We absolutely loved the place. The staff are (mostly) very friendly and willing to assist. We had to change our hotel due to fire and thought Outrigger would be OK. I am so glad we made the change. This hotel is located near Whalers Village, where we had booked several adventures and dinner reservations. Instead having to drive/park/pay, we walked 5 minutes. Great restaurants/shops nearby. Maui Brewing company(onsite) has some good food too. The bar at night was very fun. Drunks are fun to watch. Bartenders for most of the week were really great. A couple of nights there was one guy in charge and he was not happy. Other than that, absolutely a wonderful place. The little coffee shop onsite is great for breakfast and coffee and provides great friendly service. Our original plan was to visit Maui once, check the box and move on. But after this stay, Maui has replaced Jamaica as our go to location. Whale watching was outstanding and humbling. The time of year made it a little chilly and windy, but still not too bad. The exchange for warmer weather was the chance to see the whales. The big guys delivered and exceeded what I was expecting. Dozens of breeches to be seen. And lots of nearby encounters. The Pineapple tour was very cool as well. The Road to Hana tour was very cool as well. Suggest taking a guided tour otherwise you will miss a lot if driving. Mamas Fish House is cool, pricy but worth it. Mala Ocean Tavern is also very good. Dinner was very good, but brunch was awesome. Overall, one of our best vacations ever. Can't wait to see the area when it is back at 100%.
