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.

Pretty busy area. Kind of noisy. A lot of homeless. Other than that great location. Close to the beach. A lot of good restaurants nearby. A lot of tours have pickup locations near the hotel.

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.

This property was beautiful and the staff was amazing!! They offer free classes on certain days like lei making and ukulele which was so fun! The beach was right outside the hotel and there were plenty of shops within walking distance. Will definitely book again!!!

The room did not meet my expectations, I had to change and they charged me, Parking was too expensive, there was no breakfast service in my package, I paid too much money for a seat on the plane so this package was too expensive

This is a large resort property consisting of two large towers with distinctively different common area styles. One tower is ocean front with the other having ocean views. I thought I selected the ocean front tower when booking but upon arrival I was being told I would have a partial ocean view therefore I paid for an upgrade at the property to ocean front and did not regret it. This upgrade pushed the overall room cost equal to costs at elevated properties that I did not consider when planning the vacation. I feel that my booking was for the ocean front tower but did not have away to provide proof so be sure document that prior to departure. For families, I cannot not think of a more perfect property. Walking distance to both the zoo and aquarium. The beach is across the street and the hotel provides chairs, towels, boogie boards and bicycles with the daily resort fee.The access to the beach which has umbrella and paddle/surfboard rentals is convenient. We did not travel as a family but I recognize the benefits. The only regret is the additional cost without earning Marriot points for the six nights.

There were only a couple of things I didn't like. 1. When we checked in there was no one at the counter for regular check in. So it took a little bit. 2. Every day I had a message for the free gift and to come down and talk to the guy to get it. I did it, did not like the up-sale and did not like that I continued to get a message every day. 3. Lady at the concierge was rude. She was on the phone every time I approached. Someone needs to let her know she can at least look up and acknowledge you with a smile, even when she is on the phone. Because we were not acknowledged after several minutes, we left. 4. Everyone else was nice. Our maid service was wonderful.

The woman at the “welcome desk” was very rude. I asked her the name of the street in front of the building and she told me I would have to ask my questions at the concierge. She was not helping anyone and there was not reason to be so rude with me. Very unhelpful for a hotel welcome desk employee. The checkin staff was very pleasant.

We really enjoyed our stay. We got the junior family suite, and it was great to have each pre-teen in their own bed and 2 bathrooms. A microwave and kettle would have been really nice, but otherwise the room suited us well. The hotel was lively, and we enjoyed the access to activities and beach equipment. Waikiki is so walkable, we didnt need a car. Really great visit.

I reserved this hotel and let them know it was our anniversary. This was the first place I’ve even been to that didn’t offer anything to make it special. Even worse, I asked if we could at least have an hour or two late check out since our flight was later in the day and was simply told no. This was not the busy season and they refused to work with me at all. I could hear a lot of noise through the walls in my hotel room, and woke up to people getting in at 2-4am almost every night. We could also hear the elevator going up and down all night. There was a huge 2inch gap under the door that caused light to beam in our room throughout the night. VERY average hotel and not accommodating in anyway. I will definitely be staying somewhere else next time I visit Hawaii.

Wonderful hotel!!! The only complaint I had was the roosters in the mornings starting at 3:00 am every morning up on the 12th floor! Also if u are visiting and planning on getting a rental car, make sure you purchase the rental insurance! While we used the valet parking our vehicle had been attempted to be broken into and damaged!! The hotel IS NOT RESPONSIBLE abs they will make you fully aware of it!!!

Unless you are going to stay at the resort all day, and not explore the island or book any activities/ excursions then you could easily stay at a hotel and not a resort as during my stay I booked excursions and didn’t get a chance to use the pools, or gym. Therefore paying the resort fee was not needed. Staff were friendly and nice. The resort itself was clean. The concierge was great to have on site!

The location of this hotel was fantastic - we were able to walk everywhere without a problem - food, shopping, beach, etc. We did rent a car and the valet was fabulous - they were always very kind and had our car ready when we called for it. Our rooms were cleaned every day and our housekeeper made sure we always had what we needed. I loved that you could get towels, boogie boards or chairs with amenity fee - that was a bonus! The tower we stayed in was a little set back from the actual ocean, but it was great nontheless. Perfect for me and my son and a week in paradise! I would recommend a stay here!!
