Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

We had an amazing stay! The property was absolutely pristine and beautifully maintained. The location couldn’t have been better—everything we needed, including great shopping, was within walking distance. A special shoutout to Jacob at the front desk, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. His passion for Hawaii really stood out, and he shared some fascinating local insights that made our stay even more memorable. Maria at breakfast was equally wonderful—her customer service was truly spectacular, and she made every morning feel warm and inviting. We stayed on the 6th floor with Oceanview, and it was gorgeous. The room is spacious and clean, and super comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!

We celebrated our 20th anniversary at Waikoloa Beach Resort, and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for a special milestone. The resort grounds are stunning — palm trees, ocean views, and gorgeous sunsets every evening. We loved how relaxing everything felt while still having plenty to do nearby. The walking paths along the beach, the calm waters, and the scenic views made every morning and evening feel like something out of a postcard. What made our anniversary especially memorable was how romantic and laid-back the experience was. Whether we were enjoying dinner with ocean views, watching the sunset, or simply relaxing together, it felt like the perfect place to celebrate 20 years together. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything felt clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. There are also great restaurants and shops within walking distance, which made the trip even more convenient and enjoyable. Waikoloa Beach Resort is the perfect destination for couples celebrating a special occasion. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and so grateful we chose this beautiful place for our 20th anniversary. Highly recommend for anniversaries, romantic getaways, or anyone looking for a peaceful slice of paradise. 🌴🌅

My wife and I had an amazing stay at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in March 2026. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt relaxing and well put together. The location is hard to beat—right on the water with beautiful views, easy beach access, and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The sunsets alone made the trip worth it. The atmosphere of the resort was exactly what we were looking for—laid back, clean, and truly Hawaiian. The pool area was a highlight for us, especially the infinity-style layout overlooking the ocean. It never felt overcrowded, and we were always able to find a comfortable spot to relax. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Exactly what you want for a beachside stay—quiet, functional, and refreshing after long days out exploring. Service throughout the property was great. Staff were friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy—from check-in to dining to general questions about the area. Overall, this was a perfect getaway for a couple. If you’re looking for a relaxing, scenic, and well-located resort on the Big Island, this is a great choice. We would absolutely come back.

First time here and it was stunning from beginning to end of our trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful. From the parking lot, checking in, while walking around, by the pool or even at the locations restaurants and bar. The team of staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Easy to talk to and personable. The rooms were amazing clean and beautiful views of the ocean and I must say the beautiful aroma of paradise throughout was perfect. Price was worth it in every way. Location wasn’t too far in my opinion we knew there would be some driving to get to other beaches, waterfalls, hiking and other island activities. While walking through the hotel lobby or out by the pool noise level wasn’t a problem no matter the time of day. The shopping centers were great for those days of staying in for the day. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping and making this trip so memorable. Already looking at coming back

This hotel is great for what it is. Staff is excellent, rooms are comfortable, beach is nice, pools are clean, slide was a big hit with our daughter. Lots of aloha, very friendly people. It is definitely understaffed - we couldn't get a front desk agent to answer the phone, our room wasn't cleaned, the spa didn't have anyone to perform the posted services - but that is no fault of the people who work there and perhaps to be expected for the price, which was reasonable (actually free for us since we used points). We are staying at Mauna Lani now and there's a world of difference in the service (but also it's significantly more expensive), but I would definitely stay at the Marriott again for a family trip.

Beautiful location, amazing ocean views and spotlessly clean spacious room. The room was at the ocean side of the hotel so even better. However a downside is that our room was next to a door that led directly to the assorted pools without needing to through the corridors of the hotel. Sounds like a benefit but we found that the door was slammed every few minutes with tourists exiting or entering the building and it lasted even late into the night. Hotel needs to address this! Hawai’i calls restaurant was quite good for breakfast but the Kings shops and Queens Market place are only a few minutes walk away away where you have plenty of options if restaurants, Roy’s is the best, with Tommy Bahamas great too.

This review is for parents with young kids. There are pluses and minuses. But the pluses outweigh... The resort is perfect for families. My kiddos are 5 1/2 & 8. The beach was great!! We saw turtles, walked to Lava Lava, snorkels, and even saw a manta ray swimming about! They loved the 3 different styles of pools and waterside. I liked that it was compact so we weren't walking all over the place trying to get to things. When we went, the resort was slow (end of January), so I'd bee curious how packed the pool is peak season. I loved that we could walk to both kings and queens shopping areas for cheap food, stock up, and find dining and shave ice. We had a mini fridge, which was great. There is only a community microwave. It was doable but not ideal. There is a BBQ on site but we didn't use it. Great coffee shop on site, too! Incredible Mai Tais! The room: the room is tight with two queens and 4 bodies. Hopefully you aren't in it much anyway, but it's good to note. The wall between the bathroom and bedroom is frosted glass so plan to shower in the dark because as soon as you turn the bathroom light on, the whole hotel room lights up. We made do. But it's good to note since you're sharing a room with kids. There is 1 bath hook and 1 towel rack. These aren't so much complaints as things to plan for with 4 people's towels and swimsuits. Honestly I don't know who thought that was enough hooks at a beach resort in even with just two people hahaha. In the end, as a resort for families who want to be able to walk and see other restaurants, stores, etc., this one beats the others in the area. I hope this helps future families! I would stay here again, but would think of how to make sleeping work easier in this particular hotel's layout/design.

Booked a pool view room with a lovely view out to the ocean. Sunset views were incredible! The room was most comfortable albeit a bit dated. Pool area and outside gardens are very well manicured and maintained. We were not very impressed with the beach area but with all we had planned outside the resort the pool access was more than enough. Staff throughout the resort were professional and friendly. You definitely need a car to get around but some nice restaurants and shopping within walking distance. We would definitely stay there again.

If you are planning a trip to Hawai’i (the Island), make sure to stay at least a few days at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. What a wonderful stay we had there! It is only 15-20 minutes away from the Kona Intl Airport, surrounded with shopping & restaurants, it is right on the beach. It has three different pools AND hot tubs to enjoy with your family. We had a lot of fun in the slide; my 4 yrs old girl was very happy to be able to enjoy it! Kids need to be 42inches to use it. The staff was very helpful and kind, but I want to recognize George at the pool as he went a few extra miles to make my kids’ experience memorable. He taught my son how to make a bead lei, and made my daughter a very special island Gucci- see picture. My husband and I were very impressed with his skills, but also how he cares for all the kids that come enjoy the pool area. The rooms are sparkly clean and beautiful. We were blessed with an ocean/pools view; just so amazing to admire the view while sipping on a coffee! We will be back. If you’re considering it- book it! You will have an amazing time!

We have just returned home from our sixth stay at this property. It just keeps getting better and better. The rooms have undergone a renovation and they are great. Even though they are the same size, they seem much bigger. Anette Hemphill is amazing. She is the sweetest kindest woman. She takes great care of us, and shows us that she really does care about us a lot! So thrilled to know her. Mia Atsumi is wonderful. We have known her from her days at the Royal Hawaiian, and are thrilled that we get to still see her because she is now at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott! She is sweet and kind and a wonderful person. The food is great at the breakfast. Freshest fruit ever. And the staff at breakfast is the most wonderful people. Roxanne and Evelyn are the sweetest. Basically, all of the staff, from the time we drove the car to the driveway, to the people who check us in at the front desk, to the housekeeper, they’re all lovely. Can’t wait to come back hopefully again next year!!!
