We exchanged our lock off at Marriott's Canyon Villas in Arizona (where we own) for what was originally a lock off. A couple month before our stay, Interval International called me and asked if we wanted to upgrade to a 1 BR for $70-ish (can't remember). We accepted the offer and we were happy we did. Here is my brief... more

We have just come back from our trip to Oahu, Hawaii. It was my husband and I first trip ever to Hawaii, so we wanted to go somewhere with a lot of things to do. Oahu did not disappoint. We had a great time! We stayed at the Marriott Ko Olina Beach club through a timeshare exchange. It was a... more

This "efficiency" unit was a trade from a one-bedroom ocean-view in Aruba through Interval International. We were not happy about the automatic downgrade as we weren't trading from a Marriott Property. The unit was nice, however the view of the parking lot was not. Because it was a small unit, we were not able to take advantage of cooking in... more

This is one of our most favorite places. Apartments are well designed, property and staff are fabulous. The lagoons along ocean front are pristine. On the SW side of island, can view Waikiki and Diamond Head but avoid some rain forest tendencies. Always a great time! more

We really noticed the difference when we went to Waikiki after having climbed Diamond Head. In contrast Waikiki was crowded and noisy, but still beautiful. We had a quick... more

They are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Tina helped us get what we needed. There is plenty to do. The beaches are beautiful. The pools were clean and nice. Their program for what is available at the resort was informative. The resort is kind of far away from Honolulu, so if you are planning on doing things in town a... more

The view that we had and the island was gorgeous, couldn't have asked for more! more

We stayed for 8 days and from the get go the staff was rude. We arrived at 7pm due to an airplane delay and they tried to put us in a room that was handicapped accessible. We politely declined and were told that there was another room, overlooking the parking lot, but it was not ready. Asked to speak to... more

Ko olina is simply beautiful. Our two bedroom unit in the new Nia building was gorgeous overlooking the pool and beach. The sunsets were incredible and we couldn't get enough of the beach lagoons for swimming and snorkeling. It was quite the thing to come face to face with the giant sea turtles. We took a class at the fitness... more
