We celebrated our 20th anniversary at Waikoloa Beach Resort, and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for a special milestone. The resort grounds are stunning — palm trees, ocean views, and gorgeous sunsets every evening. We loved how relaxing everything felt while still having plenty to do nearby. The walking paths along the beach, the calm waters, and the scenic views made every morning and evening feel like something out of a postcard. What made our anniversary especially memorable was how romantic and laid-back the experience was. Whether we were enjoying dinner with ocean views, watching the sunset, or simply relaxing together, it felt like the perfect place to celebrate 20 years together. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything felt clean, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. There are also great restaurants and shops within walking distance, which made the trip even more convenient and enjoyable. Waikoloa Beach Resort is the perfect destination for couples celebrating a special occasion. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and so grateful we chose this beautiful place for our 20th anniversary. Highly recommend for anniversaries, romantic getaways, or anyone looking for a peaceful slice of paradise. ????
A Peaceful Oceanfront Retreat on the Big Island

My wife and I had an amazing stay at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in March 2026. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt relaxing and well put together. The location is hard to beat—right on the water with beautiful views, easy beach access, and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The sunsets alone made the trip worth it. The atmosphere of the resort was exactly what we were looking for—laid back, clean, and truly Hawaiian. The pool area was a highlight for us, especially the infinity-style layout overlooking the ocean. It never felt overcrowded, and we were always able to find a comfortable spot to relax. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Exactly what you want for a beachside stay—quiet, functional, and refreshing after long days out exploring. Service throughout the property was great. Staff were friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy—from check-in to dining to general questions about the area. Overall, this was a perfect getaway for a couple. If you’re looking for a relaxing, scenic, and well-located resort on the Big Island, this is a great choice. We would absolutely come back.
Amazing and beautiful Resort with the best staff to

First time here and it was stunning from beginning to end of our trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful. From the parking lot, checking in, while walking around, by the pool or even at the locations restaurants and bar. The team of staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Easy to talk to and personable. The rooms were amazing clean and beautiful views of the ocean and I must say the beautiful aroma of paradise throughout was perfect. Price was worth it in every way. Location wasn’t too far in my opinion we knew there would be some driving to get to other beaches, waterfalls, hiking and other island activities. While walking through the hotel lobby or out by the pool noise level wasn’t a problem no matter the time of day. The shopping centers were great for those days of staying in for the day. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping and making this trip so memorable. Already looking at coming back
The friendliest staff- just wish there were more people working there.

This hotel is great for what it is. Staff is excellent, rooms are comfortable, beach is nice, pools are clean, slide was a big hit with our daughter. Lots of aloha, very friendly people. It is definitely understaffed - we couldn't get a front desk agent to answer the phone, our room wasn't cleaned, the spa didn't have anyone to perform the posted services - but that is no fault of the people who work there and perhaps to be expected for the price, which was reasonable (actually free for us since we used points). We are staying at Mauna Lani now and there's a world of difference in the service (but also it's significantly more expensive), but I would definitely stay at the Marriott again for a family trip.
