The Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation and Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa have received the distinguished honor of being ranked as two of the top resorts in Hawaii on Expedia’s Insiders’ Select list of the world’s best hotels for 2009. Only twenty resorts in Hawaii were included out of nearly 1,000 worldwide properties. The exclusive list represents the top one percent of the more than 80,000 hotels Expedia.com offers, as rated by millions of customers and in-house experts.
The Expedia Insiders’ Select list recognizes the very best hotels as judged by the experiences of Expedia customers. According to Tim Alex, director of sales and marketing for Outrigger’s Condominium Collection, “We’re honored that two Outrigger resort condominiums have been listed amongst some of the most elite hotels and resorts in the world. We take great pride in ensuring our guests enjoy the best vacation experience available in Hawaii and this honor validates our commitment to all of our guests.”
