The Marriott is located at the perfect spot in Kauai ! Everything on the island is within an hour driving distance. But no need to go far, everything is right here! Incredible place.

erny

the best built weather radar on the island , just as good as the coconut wireless communication (:

DJ Capobianco

A little over the top for my taste, but lovely for 1 or 2 nights. A bit vegas-y and a crappy beach , but a fantastic pool!

Sean Melick

We had a great time. The service is amazing. However, very family oriented and lots of seniors. Nothing wrong with this, but it's not romantic or peaceful . Hot tubs are full of kids all the time.

Lexi W

Chad is the best concierge . Very helpful and friendly . Best hotel resort of all the islands . I will definitely be coming back!

Chantae Renee

Easy check in process, staff is nice. The fees the pond at 9am so that's a fun site to see.

Kayla R

So pretty. Amazing pools at hot tubs . Feeding of the koi fish at 9 am... you can feed them too!

Robert Madison

Nice property! Largest pool in the state of Hawaii

Evan[Bu]

Save yourself some moneys by bootlegging booze into the pool area from the ABC Store down the street. Evan[Bu] recommends Trader Vic's Mai Tai 's and Coors Light.

David Buckmaster

Great location nice fun restaurants ear by. Gym is just average and pool is amazing but needs to be heated. Very disappointed we reserve a king size bed we got 2 twins

Jeni Knight

Very friendly and helpful staff . They brought all of our groceries from the car up to our room. They were very responsive to any of our requests.

Kemi A

If you need Wi-Fi for school/work and wifi does not come with your reservation , buy it! The free WiFi is very unreliable - it kicks you offline every 5-10 minutes even with active use.

Paddy

It's a nice place but staff were not helpful. Our king bed reservation on day 1 of our honeymoon was changed to be 2 queen beds. Staff waived resort fee but also removed the perks that come with it

Beverly Mauch

Everything! Such a beautiful & relaxing place to enjoy the Garden Island !

Mike Scherzer

Great property in a prime location.

Chris Simmons

For breakfast Swing by Aupaka Terrace and pickup an egg Bento box and enjoy the view !

erny

check out this safety water tip, it's located in front of Dukes restaurant (:

Joey Marburger

Torro Tei sushi is awesome! It's right inside the resort and the cheapest, best food. Free sake with a roll. Got a couple comped apps too.

Isra

Beautiful Hotel beautiful Beach

Gerald Sharp

Grounds are beautiful, Dukes restaurant is the best: you will be charged $25 per day for resort fee .

Callie

Best beds everrrrr!! Rooms are pretty big compared to the standard hotel room and the bathrooms are big too!! Love this place!!

Eric Venker

Pretty run down and not a lot happening. Nice golf course but minimal amenities . Clearly third rate compared to the Hyatt and the Sheraton.

Mary N

Don't buy marriott timeshares.as platinum premier members, stayed at marriott on poi pu, these people won't let us use a lounge chair to wait on our plane , the style is greek, asian, and '60s=horrid

George Farkas

Loy's of open space , bring comfortable shoes so you can explore

Carol A. Asamoah

Every thing was good!

Melissa Fossum

This really is an amazing place. Worth every penny.

Rick Russell

Aupaka Terrace is a GREAT place to enjoy morning coffee and soak in the surroundings as Hawaiian music plays in the background...

Gillian Muessig

1/2 price of other major Kauai resort properties. Older, 2 miles from airport , elegant in its day, fading, it's still lovely. Staff stretched, not up to standards for similar quality properties

erny

don't forget to stop and smell the plumerias♡

Jonah Thomas

You're not allowed to hang a hammock in the trees on the beach .

Kurt Vanderah

If you need help with anything, get Leon's help at front desk. He was a huge help to us sorting out bills on 2/11/11.

William Sudah

The resort fee is now $30.00 but includes self parking .

Evan[Bu]

Check the forecast prior to adventuring out for the day.

Glennia Campbell

The pool is great.

Lindsey Nelson Simmons

The ocean is great! Internet is a rip off @ $15 per day. Kauai Marriott Beach Club!

Mouncef Belcaid

Take a dip in the pool at night. It is heated!

Irene Liu

GORGEOUS and very comfortable place to stay.

Rob Williams

If you're in the back tower, Ka'Upu, there's a convenient parking lot just steps from the elevator .

Brittany Coleman

Great place to hang out for a few hours if you're waiting for a flight!

Mouncef Belcaid

You're not allowed to jump off of the pool bridge .

Sean Stenstrom

Go to duke's for great cocktails

Joey Marburger

Potato hash at Kakui's is the best breakfast dish on the island . It has pork in it. Come on!

Ly-Ly

Wear your walking shoes ! Hotel is built wrong, the parking is located practically a mile from any room!

Hal Bonta

Make sure to walk the grounds they are beautiful!

Lindsey Nelson Simmons

Internet is a rip off $15 per day! But the beach and pool are awesome.

Gabriel Garn

We had breakfast at the beach hut great French toast

Kathleen Coles

If you like Mai Tais , have a "Tai Chi" at Kukui 's bar by the pool. The food's not bad either!

Ashley Hardee

Great pool and uncrowded beach . Good place to learn paddleboarding.

Robert Lee

Do the koi feeding at 9 am - it's a feeding frenzy like crazy piranhas!

Richard Dean

So many better places to stay on Kauai . Helicopters buzz by every few minutes. Go south!
