Waikiki, Hawaii - Outrigger Enterprises Group doubles the pleasure for travel agents with its Guaranteed Double Upgrade Special at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach and Outrigger Reef on the Beach hotels in Waikiki, and at the Keauhou Beach Resort on Hawaii's Big Island. Agents who take a few moments during their stay to participate in a property site inspection with a hotel sales representative also will receive a special gift.
Under the Guaranteed Double Upgrade Special, travel agents who book a moderate room for $125/night at the Outrigger Reef will be upgraded to a partial ocean view room. Pay $145/night for a city view room at either the Outrigger Reef or Outrigger Waikiki hotels and receive an ocean view room instead. On Hawaii's Big Island, the travel agent rate for a moderate room at the Keauhou Beach Resort is $109/night. During this Guaranteed Double Upgrade special, agents will receive an ocean view room; or pay $119/night and receive a deluxe ocean view room instead.
"It is so much easier for travel agents when they can recommend and answer a client's questions about a particular destination or property from personal knowledge," said Patsy Narimatsu, director of sales & marketing for Outrigger's Beachfront Unit. "With our Guaranteed Double Upgrade Special, we're making it easier for travel agents to assist their clients better by providing them the opportunity to experience for themselves Outrigger's three popular beachfront properties."
The oceanfront anchor of the new Waikiki Beach Walk®, the Outrigger Reef on the Beach is ideally situated between beautiful Waikiki Beach and exciting Waikiki. The hotel's stunning $110 million makeover is now complete making it one of Oahu's newest havens of elegance, gracious hospitality and unparalleled commitment to Hawaiian culture. The property now boasts enlarged guest rooms and superbly appointed suites, the brand new Kani Ka Pila Grille and the ever-popular Ocean House and Shore Bird restaurants, new shops and an array of services. The adjacent Waikiki Beach Walk is Oahu's newest entertainment destination, home to shops, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and accommodations spanning a nearly 8-acre area in Waikiki.
The Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach is a deluxe and gracious Hawaiian hotel located directly on the sands of world-famous Waikiki Beach in the heart of exciting Waikiki. The 524-room property features three restaurants including the famed Duke's Waikiki, Chuck's Steakhouse and Hula Grill Waikiki; the popular Society of Seven cabaret show, shops, meeting rooms and exceptional displays of Hawaiian artifacts and artwork throughout the property.
The Keauhou Beach Resort on Hawaii's Big Island sits on prime oceanfront acreage, adjacent to tide pools sheltering sea turtles and reef fish and Kahaluu Bay Beach Park, one of the island's most popular snorkeling beaches. The hotel offers meeting facilities, restaurants, salon and spa services, tennis courts, pool, shopping, ancient historical sites and Hawaiian cultural programs for adults and children.
