Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club

The location and view are wonderful also the management with service are perfect .

Disappointing stay and only on our 3rd day. We are owners of multiple Marriott Vacation Clubs and I understand that the nicer views are given to owners of this club. We are owners at Ko Olina so understand that very well. That being said I would have hoped after using many extra club points to get an ocean view room we would at least have a lanai we could sit on and enjoy this vacation. Did not need an amazing view of the ocean. We overlook a road and parking lot. Also the room is so dated. Crank windows, old furniture, dirty screens and a dark interior even with all the curtains open. Marriott has really left this property unattended. Food is just ok and very expensive. Was even charged an extra dollar for a little extra mayo for a 27.00 fish sandwich. Activities are lacking in comparison to Maui and Ko Olina. I love Kauai but will never stay here again. I can’t imagine spending 800.00 a night for this room. Employees are mostly friendly except for the front desk. If we could move I would.

I spent $1300 on a "villa". I waited around for 2 hours (until 5:45 pm) for the room to be ready. Promises were made repeatedly that the room would be ready shortly. Not so. There is only one relatively small restaurant for the whole hotel and the wait for dinner was long, and the restaurant and bar close at 8 pm, so don't expect food or drinks after that.

Family wanted to visit Kauai this year and we like Marriott, so looked into options/availability. Had been told that Poipu was the best area. This hotel is right on the beach, so we booked a room for a week. It was an excellent home base for our family of five adults. Property is pretty with nice landscaping. Our 2-bedroom unit was spacious, bright and comfortable. Overlooked an empty lot adjacent to the Poipu Beach parking lot. Not a problem though with the landscaping offsetting the view. Opened the sliding doors early each morning to enjoy the sound of birds and roosters! Stopped at Costco and Walmart in Lihue for groceries and made use of the unit kitchen and community grills. Glad we did as we were exhausted at the end of each day and not interested in heading back out to dinner. Impressed with all the kitchen had stocked - everything we needed to cook, plus a blender for beach drinks! A huge plus for this property is access to the beach. Walk past the pools and onto the sand. Also enjoyed the “quiet” pool which had chairs available each time we stopped by. That said, the property feels a bit overrun. Did not wish to spend more than a day there. The main pool area was overcrowded and chaotic. Glad we purchased beach equipment at Costco as the hotel doesn’t provide anything on the beach. Kauai is beautiful with more to visit and do than can be fit into a week. This hotel was great as a space to relax each night after a busy day elsewhere on the island. Unit was comfortable and spacious for five adults. Everyone - staff as well as other guests - are friendly and the overall vibe is happy. That said, I would only stay here again if we were with a large group and/or planning to spend our time elsewhere during the day.

Been here 3 times in 15 years, so definitely like this Marriott property, beautiful grounds, and excellent service! However, the public beach is very popular and BUSY with many non-hotel guests and surfers using the Marriott showers and chairs. Poipu Beach is wonderful, but just be warned this isn't a "peaceful" location.

Absolutely perfect! The room was so comfortable. The kitchen was large. The beach was excellent. I do wish there was more restaurants on site but the pool bar/restaurant was fine and open 11-7??. The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious and large. Not too big of a resort and able to park close to room easily
