 Outrigger Selected to Manage the 154-unit Royal Sea Cliff Resort 
on the Kona Coast of the Big Island

 
HONOLULU, OAHU, HAWAII - June 4, 2001 - Outrigger Enterprises has acquired the management contract of the 154-unit Royal Sea Cliff Resort on the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Hawaii-based hotel chain will assume management of the upscale condominium resort at 75-6040 Alii Drive effective July 1, at which time the property will be re-named the Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort.
 
This marks the fifth new resort management contract acquired by Outrigger since the beginning of the year, bringing the total number of properties owned and/or managed in Hawaii, Australia and the Pacific to 40.  The properties are managed under two brands - Outrigger Hotels & Resorts and OHANA Hotels of Hawaii.

Outrigger was selected to manage the property by the National Housing Corporation, based in Columbus, Ohio, 


Royal Sea Cliff Resort
with offices in Honolulu. The company recently acquired a majority interest in the property by purchasing 151 of the units. According to President H. Burkley Showe, the family-owned company has investments on the mainland, Oahu and other parts of the Big Island. Brian Anderson Real Estate Development of Kamuela is a minority partner in the Royal Sea Cliff Resort.

"The Royal Sea Cliff Resort is a magnificent property that fits perfectly within our inventory of luxury, beachfront properties," said Outrigger President David Carey. "Everything about this resort, from its location and ambiance to the quality of the accommodations and services, is an ideal match with Outrigger's emerging brand of upscale, full service resorts."

Located on seven acres of prime oceanfront land two miles south of the town of Kailua-Kona, the Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort is a multi-level complex of striking architecture that descends toward the coast to afford dramatic views. The seven-level property consists of spacious studios, one- and two-bedroom suites and four oceanfront villas. Each unit includes a complete kitchen, washer/dryer, air conditioning, lanai and other in-room amenities.

On-site recreational amenities include a choice of fresh water or sea water pool, jet spa, sauna, barbeque grills, a tennis court, activity desk, conference room, daily maid service, parking and security. Other optional amenities include cribs, rollaway beds, safe, dry cleaning and oceanside wedding gazebo.

The Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff Resort will be the third property operated by Outrigger Hotels & Resorts on the Big Island of Hawaii. The others are the Outrigger Waikoloa Beach, a 545-room resort that is owned and operated by Outrigger; and the Kanaloa at Kona, a 166-unit oceanfront condominium resort managed by Outrigger.

Prior to Outrigger acquiring the management contract to the Royal Sea Cliff Resort, the property was managed by Aston Resorts of Hawaii. All personnel will have the option to remain employed at the resort.

Outrigger Hotels & Resorts is the state's largest hotelier. The acquisition of the Royal Sea Cliff Resort brings the total number of properties in Hawaii managed by Outrigger Hotels & Resorts and sister brand OHANA Hotels of Hawaii to 31. The properties are on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. Outrigger also manages seven properties throughout the Pacific and Australia, with two additional properties currently under development in New Caledonia and Australia.

Since January 2001, Outrigger has acquired five new management contracts, which include the Royal Kahana Resort (Maui), the OHANA Maui Islander Hotel (Maui), The Outrigger Kuendu Beach Resort (New Caledonia), Outrigger 1770 Ocean Beach Resort (Australia) and the Royal Sea Cliff Resort (Hawaii).

In 1999, Outrigger Enterprises split its holdings of hotels into two brands -- Outrigger Hotels & Resorts and OHANA Hotels of Hawaii -- to distinguish between the diversity of accommodations and properties offered by the company. The Outrigger Hotels & Resorts brand now represents 24 properties throughout the Pacific considered full-service, luxury beachfront resorts. The OHANA brand represents 16 moderately priced, limited service properties, all of which are in Waikiki, with the exception of the OHANA Maui Islander.

Collectively, Outrigger / OHANA Hotels manage a total inventory of 11,360 hotel rooms and condominium units between the 40 properties in Hawaii, Micronesia, Australia and the South Pacific. Outrigger's affiliate, Outrigger Lodging Services, manages nearly two-dozen hotels and resorts throughout the U.S. mainland.
