Advantages: Good location, Friendly staff, Great room, Ocean view was wonderful Disadvantages: Expensive!
According to my guidebook, there are around 60,000 hotel rooms in the Waikiki district of Honolulu, an area that houses virtually all of the hotels on the island of O'ahu, despite being only two miles in length. Just think about how many hotels that amounts to; there are literally hundreds to chose from, all crammed into a relatively small area of land, and many built like skyscrapers to compensate. Thankfully, Thomas Cook had handily whittled this smorgasbord of options down to something a bit more manageable for us, and were also able to offer rooms at a little more of an affordable price than the eye-watering rack rates of many hotels (plus extra for that ocean view room, of course). While we decided we could live without the ocean view, we did want to stay in a nice hotel (this trip was our honeymoon, after all) and preferably one in ...
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 ...
Advantages: Everthing you need is in the hotel! Disadvantages: None - however check on reconstruction work
What can I say about this hotel - Wonderful!! I went last year with my daughter and all services were outstanding.
Room service very speedy and food was delicious, however some meals were on the pricey side, and as the hotel has a few places to eat you'd be better off eating in one of those.
Restaurants in the hotel - are the Shore Bird Restaurant & Beach Bar - amazing one of the experiences you have to try - you get to broil your own food (broil? you maybe thiking - I was! well it's similar to Bar-B-Qing but on a hotplate of sorts) first you choose your own food, (mainly fresh local fish) season, and throw on the "broiler". Then you choose all your extras and sit down in the beach front restaurant and enjoy the sun setting over waikiki beach - PERFECT! Most nights you have entertainment, generally hawaii local music - very low ...
