Best Marriott Hotels in Hawaii

Guests have a habit of falling in love with this Marriott's unbeatable location. The resort sports panoramic views of the Pacific from many different points in the hotel, including its spacious rooms (starting at 437 square feet). Accommodations here sport amenities like private balconies, flat-screen TVs and in-room coffee makers. (If you don't mind paying extra, previous guests suggest splurging on an oceanfront room – some travelers say it's worth the extra coin for the sunset views.) The resort also features the Mandara Spa, the Wailea Golf Club, a fitness center and multiple pools, including the adventure pool with water slides, perfect for traveling families. What's more, many guests cite the staff as outstanding. Because of this hotel's family ties, the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort & Spa participates in the Marriott Rewards loyalty program.

Boasting the largest single-level outdoor pool in Hawaii, along with flowing fountains, lagoons and a prime stretch of beach, the Kaua'i Marriott Resort surrounds its visitors with plenty of water. Travelers say that the resort's grounds are impressive, and many describe the guest rooms here as comfortable. Accommodations at this Marriott property feature red- and orange-hued decor and amenities like flat-screen TVs and high-speed internet access (for a fee). Travelers highly recommend requesting a room with a balcony so that you can enjoy the resort's pleasant surroundings and excellent views. However, the Lihue Airport is only 2 miles north, meaning that the isolated resort tranquility can get quashed by the sound of a passing plane. So it's not the best place for a quiet, romantic vacation. Still, a stay here will grant you easy access Kalapaki Beach, not to mention the soothing Alexander Spa and Salon, 18 holes of championship golf and several restaurants. Members of the Marriott Rewards program can earn and use points here.

The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is a 297-room beachfront property that boasts views of the Anaeho'omalu Bay (or, A-Bay). Each of the guest rooms and suites comes equipped with a minifridge, a coffee maker, a pillow-top mattress and Wi-Fi access (free for rewards members). Most rooms also have balconies or patios with ocean views. Recent guests enjoyed the spacious and clean rooms, as well as the friendly and accommodating hotel staff. And when you get hungry, a couple different dining options serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's also a sunset luau two times per week with food and entertainment, plus a shave ice stand. Other restaurants can be found near the property. Additional on-site amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, multiple outdoor pools, two championship golf courses and a full-service spa. Hiking, kayaking and surfing are a few of the activities available at the resort's private beach, but guests should be aware that there is a mandatory resort fee charged daily. Since this hotel has ties to the Marriott brand, Marriott Rewards members can accrue and redeem points by staying here. 

This member of the Marriott portfolio receives mixed reviews from its clientele. On one hand, recent travelers love the hotel's proximity to Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. On the other, some complained that the accommodations are worn and in need of an update, making them not worth the lofty room rates. You'll have to be the judge. The hotel's 1,310 rooms are decked out with minifridges, flat-screen TVs and coffee makers. Plus all accommodations come with their own lanai (the Hawaiian term for balcony) that offers views varying from a cityscape to a partial or premium oceanfront view. During your stay, you'll have access to two outdoor pools and a whirlpool, as well as the on-site fitness center. The Waikiki Beach Marriott also houses several restaurants serving anything from fresh seafood to classic Italian fare. And because of its brand ties, this resort participates in the Marriott Rewards loyalty program.
