We come to stay at this resort a few times a year. We choose to stay at this property over the rest of the Kohala Coast hotels because of its beautiful scenery, modern and spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The 24 hour facilities, such as the pool and fitness center, are lots of fun. We enjoy relaxing in the lobby... More

I was happy to arrive at the Waikaloa Beach Marriott last week to find it met my expectations and was a very beautiful location. I found the property to be sort of old style Hawaiian resort decor and the rooms were comfortable and nothing fancy but updated and beds were really comfortable. The tvS were old but who watches tv... More

We were pleasantly surprised with our visit to Marriott Waikoloa. We were greeted with Hawaiian Leis, and had a gorgeous cabana room. The lobby is tastefully decorated and the rooms were modern with a wonderfully large bathroom with separate shower. Our room overlooked the lava and beach area, and we were able to see gorgeous sunsets every night. The pool... More

Stayed here just prior to Mothers Day. The grounds are nice and kept up. The pools were great and not very crowded in May. The beach is rocky until you get further out. There are plenty of beach chairs and pool chairs. Snorkeling would be great if the water was clearer. The morning is the best time before the wind... More

Resort is exactly what I expected after reading other reviews. King room was nice. Bed really comfortable. Didn't eat there--way too expensive. Beach was only ok. The sand wasn't really soft. Much better beaches elsewhere on the island. No wi-fi in room so if you need internet bring a cord to connect. Declined the $25/day resort fee(gives parking, in room... More

We stayed two nights and had fairly full days taking a 2hr helicopter ride around the island, saw flowing lava and then swam with the giant manta rays in the evening. That was the best day of our whole trip to Hawaii, however the resort was so nice, it would've been great to stay a few extra days! Food was... More

We enjoyed our week-long stay here but observed that this is obviously an older resort and in need of some modernization and attention to compete at a higher level. The horizon pool and hot tubs are great but beverages and snacks are only available from wait staff or up at the open-air restaurant/bar. We noticed little things that, if a... More

I escaped to big island from O'ahu for a weekend this month and the Marriott Waikoloa was perfect. The atmosphere is amazingly relaxing. The lobby is one of the best I've seen, and the pools/hot tubs are incredible. The beach at Waikoloa is not as good as Hapuna or Mauna Kea beaches (a little farther up the coast), but it's... More

I had found a GREAT package deal on the Big Island at the Waikoloa Marriott Beach Hotel & Spa Resort which included air and a car. After landing in Kona we jumped in the car and headed to our hotel or resort.about 10 miles or so away. As we entered the Waikoloa Beach area we soon realized there were a... More
