This property has it all. We stayed here for 7 days the 2nd week of June and had near perfect weather. Aside from one brief rain shower, the sun was out with beautiful puffy clouds every day. The beach at this Marriott is a lovely half-moon shape with clear water, yet it is not good for snorkeling. Go to Poipu... More

My wife and I spent the first two nights of our Hawaii honeymoon here before heading to Poipu. However, after two nights we didn't want to leave because this place is great! The beach's waters are calm and swimmable (rare on Kauai, it seemed) even if the water wasn't very clear. Also, the pool and grounds were simply breathtaking--four Jacuzzis... More

Stayed one week at this hotel with wife and two kids age 9 and 6. Everyone enjoyed the hotel and especially the pool - a big flower-shaped pool with 4 ft depth, 5 adjacent hot tubs, and 5 animal-themed fountains. In the middle is an island for lounging accessible by a bridge. Spectacular setting in the Kalapaki Bay with mountain... More

I don't know why I've never written a review for the Kauai Marriott until now! This was our first Hawaiian experience over ten years ago, and I think it is what initially made us fall in love with the Hawaiian Islands. My husband and I have been back twice since our first trip to Kauai. Our first stay was for... More

Stayed here for five nights. Nice rooms, comfortable beds. Not brand new...rooms showed their age in the bathrooms. Small. But everything worked well, hot showers, etc....so we liked our stay. Pool area is very nice as you can tell from the photos. Restaurants nearby in every category.....from cheap cheap to very expensive. Duke's was good place to start. View of... More

While the resort is quote close to the airport, we hardly heard any airplane noise, certainly nothing that bothered us. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The mattress in our room desperately needs to be replaced (a king size bed that was sunken on either side; if I could have slept right in the middle where it wasn't worn,... More

This resort really is quite lovely, but... there are a few things which I wish I had known before traveling. First of all, it's really close to the airport, and seemed to be somewhat far from all the activities around the island. You pretty much need to rent a car in order to get around, unless you book activities that... More

We purchased a time share here the first year they were available. We come every year and have always had a wonderful time. Service is great, food is good. Cafe Portofino is the best. We go here at least twice every year and have never had a bad meal. I sure do not agree with Christie's reviews. She does not... More

Murphy bed was pointless, like sleeping on grandma's pullout couch. Very uncomfortable. And the resulting couch was also very uncomfortable, too low and shallow to be ergonomically useful. The resort grounds were lovely, but pay more for a real, stationary bed. You've come all this way, you might as well sleep in peace. Unfortunately, there was black mold growing on... More
