Advantages: Beach Front Location Disadvantages: Expensive food
...The Marriott Waikiki Beach is in a prime location directly adjacent to Wakkiki Beach. Beautiful views and central to the Wakkiki life of Honolulu.
If you want a true Hawaii experience then Wakkiki is not for you.
Wakkiki is an excellent spot for surfing and lounging on the beach although avoid the sun aroun mid-day and if tehre are no locals surfing dont surf!!!
The Marriot itself has spaceous rooms and many have views of the hillside of the sea.
There are two places to eat in the Marriot, the restuarant which has a rather limitted menu and is quite expencive and the terrace cafe on the thrid floor. The cafe is next to one of the swimming pools so the fabric seats are often wet and the menu is also limited and again expensive.
The cafe has live music which may not be to everyones taste but is a great atmosphere if you have children...

Advantages: Everything, pure luxury Disadvantages: None
...I've just returned from Egypt staying in the HyattRegency Hotel, Sharm-El-Sheikh.......and it was pure heaven.
The Resort is without a doubt 5 Star and the pictures that are available on the Hyatt website do not do it any justice. It is also quite a large resort covering a huge area. Not a problem though if you don't want to walk too much because Resort taxi's (Golf buggies) are on hand to taxi you from place to place free of charge. Upon arrival you are checked in and within minutes are in a buggy on the way through the little streets of the resort to your room.
Appearance
After a 5 minute drive from the airport you are taken off the main road and proceed up a long, private road with lovely trees and lights all the way up to a huge archway with the "HYATTREGENCY" just beyond.
You have just arrived in heaven, the huge car park...

Advantages: Not far from town Disadvantages: If you are looking for a beach resort-hotel, this is not the place
...and spa are located at the lower ground level and I believe you will not be able to reach without asking any staff for directions as they are well hidden ! However, if you enter the hotel from the side street, then the gym and spa are directly in front of you. The jacuzzi was really good and if you go before 5pm, there's hardly anyone around. They have the steam bath and sauna too.
The pros of the hotel, as I said earlier, is the close proximity to town and the morning sunday market. It is not very near the Filipino market (another tourist spot) but you can easily get a cab in KK. Another hotel that is right in town ie right in front of the sunday market is Jesselton Hotel. It is a boutique hotel with Hyatt equivalent rates.
KK is heavily crowded with tourists and there are also many different races (Indonesian, Chinese, Malay, Indians...
