Fodor's Review:

The most affordable resort on the Kohala Coast, the Waikoloa Beach Marriott covers 15 acres and encompasses ancient fishponds, historic trails, and petroglyph fields. All of the Marriott's rooms, some of them very recently completed, have low-slung, sleek modern beds framed with dark wood that contrasts nicely with bright white linens and Hawaiian art in a rainbow of tropical colors. The oversize cabana rooms overlook the lagoon. Dining is not the hotel's strong suit, but the Waikoloa Beach Grill, plus the tons of restaurants at the King's Shops, Queen's Marketplace, and the next-door Hilton, offer plenty of choices within walking distance. The hotel's Mandara Spa offers a full range of treatments in a spacious new wellness center. Bordering the white-sand beach of Anaehoomalu Bay, the hotel has a range of ocean activities, including wedding-vow renewals on a catamaran. Pros: great location at a great price, brand new hotel, well-designed interiors. Cons: no standout restaurants, nothing particularly Hawaiian about it.

Reviewed by Megs980 from Alabama on 1/16/08
The service at this hotel is absolutley amazing! We were treated like royalty, everyone was SO nice....extremely nice and genuine. They were eager to help us find places on the island to explore. The fitness room was so nice....there are three pools and a water slide! A couple of nights, they had amazing fireworks and music and dancing on the beach. The grounds are beautiful, the food was great, and the service was impecable. The only thing I didn't like was the somewhat small room (the bed was SO comfortable!), but all-in-all, this is an amazing hotel!! The GOREGOUS sunset behind the palm trees each afternoon makes you feel you are in paradise!
