Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the rest of the board.

Thanks again... i enjoyed looking at them.

This one looks much nicer than the other... but at least now users can see for themselves and determine, with their own eyes, if the additional cost is worth it to them.

As RealHotelPhotos.com continues to grow we will be able to make more and more similar comparisons.

Hope you enjoyed your stay.

I managed to get the exact same price on Priceline of $95 for the Hawaii Prince and the Outrigger Reef on the Beach. My stays were are week apart. As for the better experience, I'd go with the Hawaii Prince. My reasons being:

• The check-in staff were fantastic. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
  
• The ocean view from the room was amazing. The downside is there are no balconies. At the Outrigger, it was difficult to see the ocean due to the way the hotel is built, with rooms facing North/South, not East/West like at the Hawaii Prince .
  
• The bathroom was huge! A bath, a shower, a separate lavatory, plus a large vanity. By comparison, the Outrigger bathroom was small and needed renovating; it looked really cheap.
  
• I prefer the location. Yes - the Hawaii Prince is not in the downtown Honolulu, but that is precisely why I like it. The Ala Mona park is just across the canal which is great for walking/jogging/relaxing. The Ala Mona shopping center is a few minutes way away. The main part of the beach is about a five minute walk or ten minute stroll from the hotel.
  

BTW - is there an area on this site, or on RealHotelPhotos.com, to write hotel reviews?
