OUTRIGGER Kauaʻi Beach Resort & Spa
We knew the lobby was being renovated. It does impact the experience. The rooms are nicely renovated. While we had great massages, there is no spa experience. The massages are provided in a hotel room and you are charged a fee for them to clean up your massage area. I found that disappointing.
