Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa

Aloha and smiles are a way of life in Hawaii, and it shows at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort. Open air reception and dining blend into the natural atmosphere. Breakfast buffet was very tasty with omelets made to order. Ocean view room was small but impeccably clean each day. A short walk from the Marriott entrance to one upscale shopping venue, and about 1/4 mile walk to another. Beautiful sunsets .... Gatherings... as the Hawaiians say....over the beach & Pacific Ocean at the Hotel. Located on the NW part of the Island 17 miles north of KOA through the 1859 lava flow...an exciting experience for the 1st time visitor!

Can be a bit windy at times but the location is great. Beach access, gorgeous sunset, shopping area and restaurants just a block away. Great little village.

Fantastic resort, never wanted to leave but wife wanted to check out the island. This is a great all around. The most comfortable bed, pool area is top o the line, food is great, we will return!!

What a beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. The pool is huge, heated, and open 24 hr - perfect for taking a dip after day of activities. We got the upgrade to ocean view and asked for top floor with full view of ocean - and it was picture perfect. Would definitely stay again. For those who are scared off by the negative reviews by some - know that we were hesitant too. And there was nothing to worry about - Waikoloa beach is upscale and elegant with great shopping and restaurants.

Just steps from the beach and great pools. The staff was helpful and our room was very well kept. Will be back!

We noticed a lot of changes at this hotel from when we last stayed there 2 years ago... the little things make all the difference. You have to pay $25 USD per day for a resort fee which really doesn't get you anything extra. There is no wireless internet in the room (plug in internet available for laptops) and wireless in the lobby. Self parking is also included. No longer included is the beach equipment rentals... snorkel gear, boards, kayaks, etc. are all extra. The soaps are standard but they used to be really great hawaiian soaps. The bar used to offer a "Bartender Special" for an affordable price, which has now almost doubled. Sorry, $8 for a drink isn't my idea of a deal. The pedicure at the spa was standard, however the bill was much more than standard. For what I spent I expected more. On the plus side, the beach is still beautiful (not all hotels on this island can boast a beautiful beach). There is a new beach side club adjacent to the hotel beach offering great happy hour deals. The staff is still pleasant and helpful. Although this hotel is nice, the bottom line is that we felt we didn't get the value for the money that we spent. There are better value options in Hawaii.

This is a great hotel, with great amenities and helpful staff.It has great views of the ocean and a great beach.We loved the pool and the spa .If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind this is it.

This hotel had the best deal for my 2 wk solo stay. Found people for my tennis game every day, and the Hotel had a decent gym for working out. Easy walking to the main markets(Queen & King) and restaurants as well as the Hilton. The grounds were beautiful, and nice beach access for swimming.

The staffs are really nice there, they are all kind and enthusiastic to share what they know about the island if you need . Walk distance to the beach, shops and restaurants is convenient. The room (garden view) is tidy, the bed is comfy, plus I still can get some part of ocean view from the balcony!!! It is just a bit too small. And it's a pity that the food in the hotel restaurant is not good enough for the price.

I had a 2 night stay at this beautiful resort. I enjoyed it so much I almost did not want to leave resort to sightsee the Big Island.
