Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club

We stayed for a week and loved everything about it! The property was gorgeous, the beach was fun (a little small, but still fine), and the rooms were spacious. On the inside, the rooms were maybe a little dated, but the property itself made up for it with all the well manicured lawns, waterfalls, landscaping, etc. The pools were clean and taken care of, and everyone was really laid back and accommodating. We didn't book a special view or anything, but we were able to overlook scenic gardens from our large balcony. The beds were also really comfortable! |Overall, this property, and the island of Kauai, are everything you could ask for in a tropical vacation! We even saw sea turtles on the beach!

This resort is in a perfect location on the southern coast of Kauai. The trade winds blow consistently to keep you cool. The beach provides great snorkeling and swimming. Our villa was in the perfect location, upper floor facing the ocean overlooking the main pool. It was very quiet except for a Minah bird on one morning.||Kitchen is well equipped but we did request a non-stick pan and rice maker. ||Perking is underground so cars stay cool in hot Hawaiian sun. ||One of the best resort fitness centers we’ve been too. Lots of machines and space. ||We’d stay here again in another trip to Kauai

I really like the atmosphere of this place, and the room is big. However, im not a big fan of how much they charge their guests for events and parking. Most hotels in Kauai offer free parking and events are free or highly discounted. . $15 for shave ice, $30 for a plate of Togo food, $8 for a small coffee, kinda exhaust you, and makes the events as a scam rather than inviting to guests. I gave it a four star because if you avoid it and go to Starbucks or the big save nearby, it’s a nice atmosphere.

We are owners of a timeshare at this resort and this was our first visit. We had a fantastic time every day of our trip. The room as spacious and well laid out. They had everything we needed for our family to have an amazing trip. We used the grills several times for dinners, which was great as well. The pools and beach are really close and super convenient. Highly recommend this resort. My family and I can't wait to go back next year!

The location is perfect and this place could be a gem . The only reason I’m writing a somewhat negative review is because of the $ spent . It does not meet resort level amenities nor service . ||We came to the island to explore and left early each day and requested room service be provided while we were gone so we’d have a clean room after a few long days of hiking. The room was not serviced one time without me having to make multiple requests . I would have understood if they just got behind but each time we called they said they had no record of the request . ||Also don’t count on there being ice machines . So strange for a resort . They sent me into the 3rd party market on property and said they would give me some. After waiting in the long “Starbucks” line they informed me they are not part of Marriott and would have to charge me for a cup of ice . Gal was very sweet about it but a ridiculous policy for the basic ice request . When I asked further about this I was then informed they could deliver some to our room . A lot of wasted time trying to get ice. ||Only restaurant on site has decent food . Simple food but got the order messed up. Really exceptional food options off property . ||This island and trip were amazing. We would stay in the location of the island again but would research for better lodging options . ||.

Family wanted to visit Kauai this year and we like Marriott, so looked into options/availability. Had been told that Poipu was the best area. This hotel is right on the beach, so we booked a room for a week. It was an excellent home base for our family of five adults. Property is pretty with nice landscaping. Our 2-bedroom unit was spacious, bright and comfortable. Overlooked an empty lot adjacent to the Poipu Beach parking lot. Not a problem though with the landscaping offsetting the view. Opened the sliding doors early each morning to enjoy the sound of birds and roosters! Stopped at Costco and Walmart in Lihue for groceries and made use of the unit kitchen and community grills. Glad we did as we were exhausted at the end of each day and not interested in heading back out to dinner. Impressed with all the kitchen had stocked - everything we needed to cook, plus a blender for beach drinks!||A huge plus for this property is access to the beach. Walk past the pools and onto the sand. Also enjoyed the “quiet” pool which had chairs available each time we stopped by.||That said, the property feels a bit overrun. Did not wish to spend more than a day there. The main pool area was overcrowded and chaotic. Glad we purchased beach equipment at Costco as the hotel doesn’t provide anything on the beach.||Kauai is beautiful with more to visit and do than can be fit into a week. This hotel was great as a space to relax each night after a busy day elsewhere on the island. Unit was comfortable and spacious for five adults. Everyone - staff as well as other guests - are friendly and the overall vibe is happy. That said, I would only stay here again if we were with a large group and/or planning to spend our time elsewhere during the day.

- The dishwasher was the loudest I've ever heard, making it impossible to stay in the room - the gym remained extremely cold despite my request to adjust the temperature - The room showers were uncomfortable and unsatisfying, with poor water flow and no removable shower head, though the wall-mounted shampoo and shower gel dispensers were convenient. - Food was mediocre and overpriced - the room air conditioning is centrally controlled for the whole suite, which made it difficult to get a comfortable temperature in individual rooms - The pool area and the public beach in front were both extremely crowded, and there were no loungers - check-in only after 4 pm. We had to wait for two hours (after a 1-day trip there, feeling very exhausted) - The staff were generally very friendly, but these issues made the stay far from luxurious - room cleaning apparently only visits once in the morning, we left at 1 pm and found the rooms the way we left them

My family have been owners for many years but have never stayed at this property. We are disappointed to say the least. The unit is dirty and dingy. Everything is sticky or broken. The garbage disposal doesn’t work. We have what was described as an ocean view, but it’s really just a parking lot view with a tiny bit of ocean that’s barely visible. The property is very crowded. You need to line up at 7am (pool opens at 8) to have a chance at getting a lounge chair for the day. The beach is very small with no chairs or umbrellas provided. Waited 45 minutes for cold soggy fries at the pool one day. It’s our son’s birthday (which they knew) but they never acknowledged it in any way. (We have had balloons delivered at some of the other Marriott vacation properties). We have been doing a lot of exploring the island rather than stay at the property just to get away for the day. Overall very disappointed. Kauai is beautiful, but if we ever come back we will not be staying here.
