Kauai Marriott Resort

I live in Hawaii and this resort made me feel in paradise. Resort is Huge with a private beach. As soon as you enter the property you're overwhemled by the vibrant colors of the plants, ponds, art, and resort. The beach is awesome, its basically a private bay and they have volleyball nets and bar service available. I am used to beaches, so I spent a lot of time at the pool with some mixed drinks from the kalapaki bar. This bar is full service and you can order any drink you can think of... they also serve food too. The resort also has daily events that were pretty fun to learn about hawaii culture, but i think its more geared to kids. They have a fitness center thats pretty good for a resort. For food I liked Dukes. My wife said it was okay, but she doesnt really like local food. I seriuosly recommend to try it if you havent tried local food. The rooms were very spaciuos and service is very fast. I asked for glasses and extra towels and I got them in less than five minutes. Staff is very friendly showing you the true spirit of ALOHA!

Kauai Marriott is a beautiful hotel, conveniently located with great beach, nice restaurants, wonderful and friendly staff. It was very comfortable and enjoyable stay!!

We were very impressed with the hotel..... especially beautiful pool design.... It has a lovely location with gorgeous views of ocean and mountains. It also is easy to get around to visit other parts of Kauai. We enjoyed the restaurants on the Resort - especially the Italian restaurant.... NO ONE served fruit!!!!!!! How can this be in Hawaii??

This hotel has a great location for exploring the island. The beach felt very safe to swim and walk. The pool was always clean and security was very active in making sure only resort guests were using the pool. Room was clean and met my expectations. I would recomend this hotel the friends and family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the centrally located resort. Rent a car and you are able to enjoy the entire island.

This resort is the Super Walmart of resorts.  I don't know where to begin with how disapointed I am with this hotel and our experience - - so I will just drive right in.  We stayed at this resort for the last five days of our honeymoon (the first week of our honeymoon was spent in Maui). Our arrival Upon our arival, no bell service assisted us with our luggage.  My husband dropped me off curbside and unloaded our bags and proceeded to park the car.  I had to flag down a bellman to assist me.  Our "geeting" at the front desk was less than warm.  In the few minutes it took us to check in, we were "encouraged" numerous times to upgrade our room (which made me begin to think that maybe the quality of the room we reserved was not good).  It was really annoying.  The woman handed us a map of the resort and circled our room.  I didn't expect her to review the entire resort map with me, but it would have been nice to point out the dining options or where we go to get our towels or rent activitiy equiptment. Rooms Our room was a pool and ocean view.  It was very large (and included a large sitting area with a couch).  The patio was also a nice size.  The bed was comfortable. Our first night, several of the rooms in our hallway flooded.  Although our room was not flooded, the smell in the hallway was horrific. It smelled like a backed up sewer for the next two days. Luckily the smell was only in the hall and did not make it into our room (or I would have insisted that we be moved.)   Someone (I am assuming children) dropped a ton of crackers in the hallway and stomped all of over them.  This wasn't cleaned for two days. Staff The staff is hit or miss.  Some are very helpful and friendly and others would prefer not to assist you at all. Guests This is what really confused me and made me feel like I was staying in a Walmart more than anything. The guests here are extremely rude. (It is shocking actually coming from Maui where the guests at the hotel were courteous to other guests, very laid back, and everyone was just trying to have a good time and enjoy their vacation.)  The older crowd (i.e., senior citizens) acted like everyone around them was an annoyance and that other guests were interfering with their vacation.  The large families and mass groups of kids acted like a zoo. There were constantly guests yelling off of their balcony to their family members at the pool trying to get their attention and then have a whole yelling conversation about their plans for the day. There were groups of high school and college students being obnixous (i.e., kicking volleyballs around the sand and grass area, hitting other guests and guests' beach chairs with the ball; trying to parkour off of the resort trees and various structures; and at the main pool it was constant screaming and horseplay with kids who were left unattended by their parents.)  It was a real scene. I have not stayed on another property on Kauai before but I would certainly reccomend ANYWHERE but here.

This has everything you need including a private pool and beach.

Great place! Beautiful hotel and great location. Pool is exceptionally nice as is the beach. Plenty of great places nearby to eat at, especially Duke's. only complaint is that the staff was not very friendly, seem to regard guests as just pain in the but tourists. Other than that, fairly nice place.

Maybe it's Kauai, more rural, more small town, but the staff seemed friendlier than those at some other large resorts. Great location close to shops that sell lots of clothes and other items that are made in Hawaii. Walking distance to restaurants that are owned by locals with great food and local beers. Complaints: They could steam clean those marble bathroom floors every once in a while.

What you expect from a mega resort. It had it's own beach with hotel and offsite beach rental items so it keeps the hotel prices honest. Also they have a Dukes canoe (on hotel property) and several other eateries near by that offer offsite lower cost options.. However the onsite prices were not as bad as other similar hotels. The pool was very nice and if you don't want to dont want to rent a car the airport is very close and shuttles run all the time. If you do rent a car they have an onsite facility. However if you are looking to cut costs you can easily take the shuttle to the airport and choose from several other rental car facilities. We used the onsite facility and it worked great for us. The restaraunts were good I do think this is an area that could be improved. The food was so so except for the main dinning area. All in all agood central location and we were happy with our stay.
