The Marriott is a gem in my mind, and it has nothing to do with the decor. The things I love best (which other hotels don't offer): 1. Kalapaki Beach Next to Hanalei, this is one of the prettiest beaches on the island. Hotel and pool face the grass lawn and this stunning beach and the surf break is perfect... more

I love the beach and ocean, that is why we chose Marriot. No complaints about the hotel, they all did an excellent job. Food in all restaurants is incredible. My surprise was why everybody stays at the pool. Now I know. The nature is wild. I was swimming with sting rays and turtle. more

We are not an overly picky couple ... we usually roll with the punches. There is still a lot of construction going on in pool area and rooms. While out at the pool you can hear the saws and workers all day long (weekdays). Continental breakfast area is going under complete remodel. Amazingly, they tried to put us in a... more

The hotel is very well located for traveling around Kauai yet you would never know it was there. There is so much to do and there are so many places to explore and The Marriott is an excellent place to start from. We both went running most mornings and never took the same route twice (although each of us got... more

We had a great time on this trip. We booked on Priceline and got an upgraded hotel room when we arrived; totally updated, flat screen etc. We normally stay in Maui at the Hyatt but decided to try here. I have to say that we were nervous due to all the bad reviews on this site but it was wonderful.... more

I almost cancelled our hotel and stayed somewhere else because of the negative reviews on the construction. That would have been a huge mistake. This hotel was beautiful, great staff, great restaurants, and beautiful grounds. Every aspect of our experience at this hotel was above our expectations. I cannot wait to return next year. more

We stayed for 5 nights at the Marriot in Lihue. The grounds are colorful and absolutely beautiful! And Palm trees galore! And gorgeous mountain view on the beach.We had an awesome, private garden view room with a hammock less than 10 feet from our patio on the first floor. The food served at the bars by the pool is pretty... more

This resort has been a highlight for us for many years. It is undergoing a major renovation which is gratifying especially in these economic times. It is perfect for couples, families, singles...it is beautiful, inviting and appealing. You are treated specially by everyone. more

Thiis was our first trip to Hawaii....our stay at the Marriott was relaxing and enjoyable. The room was beautiful, clean, and the view was awesome. They are still in the process of remodeling. Part of the pool was taped off but not inconvenienced. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beach is nice. We were glad we did the valet... more
