The Beachcomber is the night-out pick: a Cirque du Soleil show in the building and Maui Brewing Co. downstairs. OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beachcomber is home to Cirque du Soleil's 'Auana, with an outdoor pool and hot tub, across the street from Waikiki Beach — less than a 5-minute walk, per Outrigger.
It used to fly the Holiday Inn flag, and the old Beachcomber web address now forwards to Outrigger, so an old confirmation under the Holiday Inn name is the same hotel.
The resort fee is $42 a room a day, plus tax, valet is $55 per 24 hours, and pets cost $125 a night. Sixteenth on 26, it's about 3.9 miles from Pier 2 by road, our estimate — central Waikiki, not the harbor end.
See the show the night before, and leave the morning for the ride.
Book it if
