My husband and I celebrated our 15th anniversary at the Courtyard Kauai. We were there for 12 days. We were given an upgrade to an ocean view suite, and it was unbelievable. We were truly in paradise. The staff was wonderful, always smiling, and eager to please. It is a beautiful hotel in a very good location. Right on the beach, with sunrises to enjoy every morning. We never felt a need to go anywhere else for meals, although we did venture out a couple of times, it really wasn't necessary. The food and service at the Makai Lounge and breakfast at the Voyager was fantastic. (High five to Shyan, our server every day. Good job girl!) A big Mahalo out to the entire staff for all of their hard work - Bently, Tom, Lissa, Colleen, Lolita, and everyone else whose names we didn't know. You are all hard workers and make a great team!
Courtyard is the place to go when in Kauai. We will be back!

Courtyard Marriotts are usually basic hotels. However, the Marriott in Kauai attempts to provide more than the typical Courtyard. Unfortunately, they're missing the mark. The room technology is outdated. The bartending is uninspiring and the housekeeping is out of touch with the guests. You may be able to do better elsewhere in Kauai, but the sunrise is something to behold.

Anxious for a quick R & R on Kauai, I surfed the web for lodging hoping to find a hotel with a beach front; Marriotts appeared to be the one. Our hotel demands were: Clean, quiet, good bed, tolerable food and FRESH air, posh decor being secondary. Marriotts more than met these needs as unknown to us they had invested more than 13 million refurbishing this ideal location with care yet not over the top. We were most pleased find our 3rd floor room nicely appointed, small but with a tiny seaview balcony and fresh blasting air from the sea; our door never closed for 5 days. The king size bed was very comfortable opposite a new huge TV where we tearfully watched Oregon lose to Stanford. The room has a fridge, coffee maker complete with fabulous Kauai coffee of course, a small sofa and the place was QUIET and was peaceful. The bathroom, a bit TOO small yet complete, with all needs and fitted with handsome bronze colored granite. All in all we had no complaints and were surprised to find everything reasonably priced. The food was prepared with a flair with most generous portions, for example a typical breakfast was $12 and delicious. Charming Debby seated us every morning and all of the darling servers gave us prompt attention. My wife in her haste to pack left her cell phone in her room & the housekeeper turned it in to the front desk--- staff then shipped it to us promptly with one phone call--very professional. This hotel is less than 10 minutes to the airport and on the main road North with restaurants and shops 2-3 minutes away. We were not charged parking! We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly and will review a top-notch restaurant just 2 blocks away forthwith. Enjoy your stay!

The WARNING FIRST: Marriott charges you $14.58 a day to park your car and it is not valet parking!!! Had I known this in advance I most certainly would not have selected this property. That being said....We spent 7 nights at this property. Our room was lovely, over looking the pool, ocean and we could watch the sunrise from our balcony :) We did get some extra noise from the pool /common area but closing the sliding glass door took care of it. The staff were very friendly and the food and drinks were good. The beach was as nice as any, no lifeguard and not really for swimming but, nice for watching the waves and a nice walking path for the most part. You can walk a good distance in both directions enjoying the other local rental properties. The entire area is clean with beautiful gardens and very quiet. The Coconut Market Place is a short walk and much the same as other shopping areas. We felt very safe walking in the evening and there were several excellent dinning options within an easy stroll from the Marriott. The only other complaint we had was the shower, never really hot, warm but even with the tap put on full Hot it was just warm. We liked the idea that we could explore the whole island from this one central location. Grocery store close by for picnick supplies and a McDonalds.
