An early check was requested at the front desk around 10:45 AM. Instead of trying to accommodate an early check in the front desk lady tried to upsale a presidential suite for an extra +$1,100 a night. We checked again with the front desk 5 hours later and they mentioned house keeping was aware of the early check-in request but somehow couldn't get the room ready within those 5 hours.

Our stay at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club was okay overall, but the arrival experience was very frustrating. Our flight was delayed and we notified the hotel, yet it still took over an hour for the airport shuttle to pick us up around 12:30 a.m. When it arrived, it couldn’t fit our entire group, so we had to wait for additional shuttles—exhausting after a long travel day, especially since the resort is only about 2 miles from the airport. We also requested rooms close together, but our group ended up scattered throughout the resort, which was very disappointing. We have stayed here many times and this time was very disappointing and did not have good customer service.
