Probably the best resort we have stayed in, in all our travels & we have been around!
We were upgraded to the beach front suite which was absolutely stunning, luxurious & very very spacious, not to mention the ocean views & sounds of waves crashing to put you to sleep each night.
The private beach is superb & like the resort itself is not overcrowded like many other mainstream resorts.i would come back in a heart beat.

Great facilities and apartments, just wish I had realised how big the resort is as we were staying with friends and they were a car drive away.
Also parking is super expensive.

We had to turn off the main road and up a winding narrow track to access our Big Island Retreat. Apprehension turned to pleasant surprise for the four of us when we arrived to our destination.

This was our second stay at Marriott Waikoloa Beach and won’t be our last, location is perfect, away from the crowds of Kona but a short drive back there, has 3 great pools and a beach, short stroll to queens or kings marketplaces or lava lava beach club. We stayed 5 nights but will definitely stay longer next time. The staff are so friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We got a pool view room and had a better ocean view this time than last time when we booked a ocean view. We were...

One of the best hotels in the area. The newly acquired Ocean Tower is conveniently connected to the Hilton Palace and Hilton Waikoloa Village via complimentary tram and boat services. The Dolphin Quest experience is a real highlight of the property. Rooms are clean, and the staff are consistently polite and friendly. The restaurants are good, though vegetarian options are quite limited.
