We spent 3 nights/4 days here using Marriott points.They upgraded us to an ocean front room with a beautiful view. The grounds are unique, with lava rock, tidal pools and a calm ocean front lagoon. There were turtles at the beach to the left, which was a good snorkel spot.We have stayed at many Marriott properties in Hawaii and I... More

Just back from a one week stay at the Marriott Waikoloa. We booked here because there was a 1/2 price offer on a travel sight. We also knew that though it was not the HIlton, it would meet our children's needs to swim and be near the beach. For a family traveling with 2 children, The Marriott Waikoloa exceeded our... More

Nice grounds with multiple pools. Short walk to a nice beach on property grounds. Restaurant was overpriced, but many nights they had specials with discounts which did make prices reasonable. OK room, but dated. It's been a while since I have been in a room that did not have a flat screen TV! It does appear that they are in... More

We booked this hotel through American Express travel and everything was perfect. Received a wonderful room with an ocean view balcony where we could watch the sunset every night although there are many other phenomenal areas to watch the sunset throughout the property. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms were appointed nicely. The staff was amazing, everyone extremely... More

We came in with a group of 8 and were booked into 4 rooms all over the hotel. 2 rooms were right in the the center of the hotel and my son did say that there were people around the pool really late, which woke up guests with rooms right by the pool. The hotel did however, take care of... More

I am so glad we picked the Marriott for our stay during Ironman 70.3. It was less stuffy than the fancy Fairmont Orchid and less insane than the theme-park-like Hilton. The grounds were beautiful, and the pools were lovely. There is one tame slide for the kids. (wish they had some kids activities). It is very convenient for walking to... More

The resort is in a beautiful setting. I had an ocean view room, it didn't disappoint. The restaurant prices were very high. Across the street was the King Shops that had good alternatives. Take advantage of the trolley that goes to the Queens Shops for more affordable options.

Well, the locals call the area Waikablowa - because it is so windy. It was particularly windy when we stayed there in February for 7 nights. The resort itself is nice. Room was nice and clean. We got the room for a pretty good price booking through Expedia. We were on the ground floor (standard accomodation), but still had a... More

We stayed 5 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. I went back and forth between this and the Hilton but was happy with my choice. I will say the Hilton did seem nicer, cleaner, and more modern than the Marriott. However, the Marriott is a smaller resort with beautiful grounds and pools and I love being on the beach. It... More
