Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club

Superb property and services. One of the premier locations in the world.

The Waiohai Beach Club is a great location for a Hawaii vacation. The staff provides super service. The rooms have all been recently updated with new furniture and carpet. The beach is right in front of the property and the three pools and spas are great. Golf is close by. Only a 15 minute drive from the airport.

Just returned from another spectacular week at Waiohai. We are long time owners and supplement our week with rentals from Redweek. Our experience was sensational. Last year Marriott made lots of cutbacks in amenities and services throughout the brand. They were still visible at Desert Springs and other resorts but minimally apparent at Waoihai. The staff (many of whom have been there for years) is most friendly and professional. The maintenance is better than most hotels. The service is always gracious. As the area expands, there are more and more good choices for dining so that the dinner service is not really missed.

The location is great and the grounds are in perfect condition. We did stay in a handicapped accessible villa because it is in our favorite location. There were no downsides and we were pleased to have two sink areas in the master in lieu of the soaking tub. It was sparkling clean and fresh. There were two palm fronds encroaching on our balcony. I discussed it when I ran into the head gardener. Later that day, he sent a tree pruner up the tree to remove the fronds so that critters cannot climb into our area....removed budding coconuts too to prevent them from falling. (We were on the 4th floor). He then called to see if everything was OK...Wish I could have that service at home.

Kauai is the friendliest island and the least commercial. It is like turning the clock back for forty years. We enjoy the local vendors, farmers markets and great food and drink from fancy to budget minded venues. We travel the world but vacation at Waiohai.

Great place for a family vacation. The units are spacious, nicely decorated and well equipped. The beachfront location is ideal for walks, swimming and finding sleeping seals that have come ashore for a nap. The island view units are really parking lot views which isn't what you hope for when in Hawaii. The garden view and ocean view units are very pleasant. Restaurants are only a short drive away and there is a supermarket within a 10 minute drive.

Our college aged daughter loves this place and it is her first choice for a family getaway. My husband and I really enjoy it and look forward to coming back for our 4th visit next year. Thanks to Redweek, we have been fortunate to find nice units at reasonable prices.

The wild Kauai roosters that are everywhere on the island do start crowing at the break of day so you have to leave your windows closed at night unless you want a 5 am wake up call.

I read some of the reviews that were not so flattering about this resort. I don't know if we're talking about the same place. I've been here 3 times and have always found the villas exceptionally clean and the staff accomodating. This is by far the nicest of the Marriott 5 star resorts. They don't get any better than this. I have NEVER seen kids at the adult pool, cock roaches or musty smells. It would not have a 5-Star rating if this were the case. One word or caution- if you buy a pineapple at a pineapple farm, check for scorpions before you bring them back to your villa. No problem with them anywhere else. I've even commented on the lack of flies or bugs at the resort. This place is truly paradise!
