Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

I stayed here from December 9 to December 14 on my first trip to Hawaii, and the experience was excellent. James at the front desk helped me with check-in, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. He was warm, professional, and always happy to answer any questions. I was very satisfied with the room I was assigned. I would definitely come back again. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and the hotel’s location is fantastic—it truly met all of my needs.

••We recently stayed at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa for a week, and it was a solid choice overall. Before we even arrived, I noticed in the Marriott app that we’d gotten a complimentary room upgrade, which was a nice surprise. The location is fantastic—right across the street from Waikiki Beach, making it super convenient for beach days. The hotel has two ABC Stores, two Starbucks, and a good restaurant onsite. ••We met some friendly people while relaxing in the hot tub and enjoyed drinks at the pool bar. The fitness center had decent equipment for a quick workout. On our second day, we got a call inviting us to a 90-minute Marriott timeshare presentation—we went and received a free sunset cruise excursion that we took later in the week, which was a cool bonus. There’s also an

The receptionist looked visibly annoyed and was very unpleasant to deal with. The worst thing is , the hotel is currently undergoing renovations during my stay, which made the stay extremely disruptive. Th noise starts early in the morning and is loud enough to wake you up. I was quite surprised that the hotel remains open while major renovation work is ongoing, as this significantly affects guest comfort. The only positive aspect is the location.

Booked directly through Marriott Status: Titanium Honestly, I have some mixed feelings about this hotel. We booked the hotel in late December for a mid February stay and we weren’t notified about the construction until 2/13 (a week before our stay). While the options they offered were honestly generous, notifying us relatively last minute meant our choices were to take one of their offers or to pay much more for a different hotel (prices increased since when we booked. The breakfast up charge for hot items seemed excessive - $17/person per day for what was offered over the continental option (basically fruits and pastries). However, the room was nice and all of the staff we encountered were friendly. At the end of the day, we did enjoy our stay at this hotel, but just wish the communicat

SO amazing! We were there for the luau. What a fun and educational experience! These dancers and musicuans were so great. The host was knowledgeable and fun. Our main server was professional and very nice. A nearby family was pretty rude to her but she responded with grace and professionalism that I would've not been able to maintain. I think her name is Karen...she's "mature," experienced and so competent.
