The room had a porch with a beautiful view. The Hotel is within walking distance of Waikiki Beach, the Honolulu Zoo and so much more. There are many shuttles and buses that stop there to take tours of places like Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head Park. The room was always cleaned and refreshed every day. The lobby was full of restaurants and stores and even a Surfing store! The bathroom was huge and had very efficient shower and toilet. The room had air-conditioning, which is needed in Hawaii!

Very nice and clean rooms and facility. Across the street from Waikiki beach and close to all the stores on the avenue. There's 2 ABC stores on the property which made it very convenient.

To pay for the ammenties and events is not right when we don't think we will attend It's a lot to play 50$ per day and forced to pay We should be asked to pay when we reserve that event and attend not otherwise This is waste for people on top of hotel lodging

The Hotel was very nice in a great location. The beach is right across the street. Stores and restaurants within walking distance or you can take the local bus system. I loved the poolside service and happy hour menu. I did not like the peddling of timeshares under the guise of welcome gifts. The onsite luau can be purchased on line for less than the supposed discount price from the hotel. The best luau is the Polynesian Culture Center but if you want more than one, it's very convenient at the hotel.

This is a fantastic location. The hotel is also beautiful. The only complaint I have is that the shower had an aggressive amount of hair on the wall and on the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel that was definitely not mine. Other than that, the staff was friendly and it was a nice experience.

For context, I stayed at this hotel last year in 2023 and had a great and memorable time. This time around it was different. First, when arriving to the hotel in the valet area. A valet team member greeted me by asking are you in the right place? “This is the Marriott Resort….” I’m like yes, I’m in the right place (as I have already paid for my rooms, I sure would hope I’m in the right place). I thought that was kind of insulting to reiterate to me what the hotel name was as if I didn’t book it and see the big-ass sign coming in. I actually really did not appreciate that. Then the person asked me if I had stayed here before. I said yes, last year. She looked real stupid after I answered. She could have just lead with us this your first time with us. The energy was that my family could not afford it. Didn’t appreciate that.

The room air conditioner generated too much noise when power on to minimum speed (they said it is silent mode). I use the phone testing the noise is reached to 52 dba if I turn to full speed then come to 63 dba. Also, the room windows can not block the noise from outside activities. I have to wait until 2:00am that I can sleep. I was assigned 1108 room. After complained, they changed the room to 1116, it remain the same problem. You can check the hotel record. You can assign one person to live there for detail experience. There are so many minor issue on this hotel. For example, refrigerator generate noise once a while at night, coffee mate run out without fill in next day.

I was scheduled to check in during Spring Break. On the day before my flight I was in the hospital for emergency surgery and stayed in the hospital 4 days. On the 2nd day the I called Expedia and the hotel directly to explain my circumstances. Both parties refused to even offer a credit for a future stay, let alone a refund. It was spring break, and going to be me and my two children traveling. I will never book a hotel again with such an uncaring chain.

Loved everything about the hotel. The location is prime. Staff were extremely friendly. They had upgrades availbale for a cost at check-in. Beautiful views from the balcony. An outdoor pool for the family to enjoy. The elevators come pretty quickly. Very safe for the customers, strangers cannot easily enter the upper floors. The room decorations are simple and elegant. The room gets made on time. You'll find the room clean every time you return back to your hotel after having breakfast or late lunch. We loved coming back to a clean room. The only thing we did not like at all was that the pillows and mattresses in the rooms werrw extremely uncomfortable. Considering that we booked at a Marriot chain hotel, we expected better. The entire stay at this hotel was great except it gave us pain in our necks. The mattress is extremely thin and the pillows are extremely flat. You guys need to up your game with the mattress and pillow situation. Its letting your customers down on multiple occassions.

There were many things to do at this property. It's a nice spot to be and one of the top hotel. Activities are great. Price is high and I did not like that I've ordered Ocean view room and it's has multi type of ocean views. It required extra fees for room upgrade. My first 2 nights my view was another building. Not transparent on my room order.

Great hotel if you get the right room. You have to be very specific with reservations, i had to do the upgrade twice in order to get the room I intended to get. The room we had was perfection - spacious, very quit at night, amazing view. But again, had to do 2 upgrades to get the right room.

Resort was cute and right across the street from the beach. Very convenient location tons of dining and shopping options. The only downside is the resort fees and security deposit was outrageous. They offer limited activities to justify the resort fee and we were only able to attend one of the activities during our week there. The conference room it was in was hot everyone was sweating and there wasn’t enough seating for everyone. Overall it was a great location and the room itself is nice but the resort fees and security deposit amount was too extreme.
