Resort Reviews for Marriotts Ko Olina Beach Club

This is our favorite destination. We have stayed here 8 times over the past 10 years, from 1-5 weeks at a time. The facilities are first class all the way, as is the service. The lagoons are spectacular and offer excellent snorkeling. Championship golf courses are available (I don't golf)and all the attractions of Oahau are easy day-trips. We have hosted friends and family there, and everyone loves it. This is a great environment for children - well controlled access to facilities and activities. We enjoy the outdoor grills, but the villas are very well equipped, and a range of restaurants (from fine dining to family fare) are conveniently located. The proximity to CostCo, Target, & Safeway in Kapolei (3 mi)is a plus. We love it!

We spent 6 days at the Ko Olina, returning home October 6. It was a positive experience from beginning to end. The Ko Olina is set in a quiet, "untouristy" area of Oahu on the West shore, and the setting is one of the most amazing things I've seen. The lobby is all open air with a roof and pillars but no doors or windows, the breeze blows through and the ocean is right at your fingertips. From the front desk as you look to your right it is truly breathtaking! What I thought at first was a big mural of the ocean with palm trees, was actually the ocean and palm trees! Activities are planned daily for those who want to participate, from making your own lei, to dolphin snorkeling trips (which was also incredible).

KoOlina is a beautiful and relaxing property, right on beach, away from the Waikiki crowds. We had a gorgeous, new 2 BR, 2 BA condo, with ocean & incredible sunset views! There's a Safeway & Big KMart to get your groceries. The Hawaiian locals are the kindest people & the KoOlina resort is first class in every way. Everyday there were organized activities available for any age group. Our three active teenagers (boys & girl) loved where we stayed. We were a 15 min drive from a more exciting beach scene, & 30 min from North Shore. Why go to Honolulu, where you sit in 2-hour traffic, or Waikiki, where there's no place to sit on the beach or swim without hundreds of other people & trash? We were at Maui, Kaanapali Alii two years ago, which was

Wow.after snorkeling during the day at three of the beautiful lagoons, then having snacks and drinks at the ocean-front snack facility while watching the glowing red sunset and listening to the wonderful singer and acoustic guitar player; every fiber in my body was content and happy. I couldn't stop smiling! As the sun set, I had one thought: If my life would have ended that very moment.let it be.

"The best timeshare Resort we've every stayed at!" Date: February 5, 2004 We LOVED this place! We stay at upscale timeshares and hotels all over the US and this by far was the best resort we have stayed in. We had a 2 bedroom island view. The villa is excellently appointed and very beautiful and functional. The resort offers excellent pools, and a pristine beach. Traffic is horrible at Wakiki, so avoid the crowds and stay at this resort. You'll be glad you did.

"The Perfect vacation villa" Date: February 17, 2004 We just returned from 7 nights at the KoOlina Beach Club. This place is perfect in every way. We went as renters and took the 90 minute tour offered by the agents selling the property. We received $100 worth of vouchers for use on the property by doing so. I used them to visit the spa at the J.W. nearby -which was first class! The Beach Club is so upscale. They even provided the facilities for people with late flights out - which was a big plus for us. There are so many positives about this place it would be impossible to include them all. You will never regret booking a week here - I want to go back again and again.

One word, breathtaking! I took my first trip here in Oct. '02. I have traveled all over the world and have never experienced a more beautiful, and tranquil setting! We just returned from our 6th trip in 15 months. Gorgeous rooms, private lanais, granite counters, tile, wood floors, etc. Excellent staff, lots of activities for kids and adults. Awesome beaches just steps from the entrance. World-class spa next door! Close to everything, North Shore, Waikiki, Honolulu, Airport and sites.
