1. Location    Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort is part of the prestigious Waikoloa Resort located south of Kona town. If you want to be away from the tourists, this is definitely the place to stay. The hotel building is set back away from the main street, and the only other hotel nearby is Hilton Waikoloa.    Marriott Waikoloa is located beachfront on the shores of Anaehoomalu Bay (or A-Bay, as the locals call it). Wonderful white-sand beach starts almost at your doorstep.    Grounds at Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort are meticulously groomed. Wide array of tropical flowers in full bloom and paved walking paths will satisfy anyone's fancy. Fountains dot the grounds here and there. The beauty of it all is simply breathtaking.    The open lobby has a large outrigger canoe on display. There is also Kahn Gallery, Blue Kona Coffee Shop, gift shop and activities desk in the immediate area.   2. Rooms          You will be very pleased with your room's size and atmosphere. It is very spacious and even has a seating area with rattan table and 2 chairs. Hawaiian motifs and designs grace the walls and bedcovers. The rooms are very nice and clean.    We highly recommend booking an ocean front room if you want to wake up to a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. You will be able to see the ocean both from the bed and the seating area. Now you will know why Kona sunsets are so famous! Each of 545 rooms has: Beds: 1 king or 2 doubles Air-conditioning Private lanai Refrigerator Coffee maker and complimentary coffee Cable/pay TV/video games High-speed Internet access (fee) In-room safe Dressing area Blackout drapes Bathtub+shower Hair dryer Iron and board Room service Daily maid service   3.

The white sand is kind of coarse, but easy to walk on barefoot. The water is very clean and calm. This beach is perfect for all kinds of water activities, including snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving, windsurfing or sailing.    The beach has plenty of beach chairs and a water activity desk where you can rent snorkeling equipment at a very reasonable price. Pool    Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort has a large tropical pool with waterfall and slide at one end, and shallow kiddie pool at the other. It even features a sand beach for the kids to play in. Relaxing whirlpool spa is nearby. Spa and Fitness Center    Hawaiian Rainforest Salon & Spa offers Hawaiian healing arts and rejuvinating spa therapies. You can treat yourself to an exotic Thai Stretch Massage with Aromatic Herbs, stimulating Lava Kava Java Body Polish and Massage, or soothing Green Tea Facial. The well-equipped fitness center at Marriott Waikoloa is a great place to work out. Golf    Beach Course - designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., it literally carves through the magnificent lava flows along scenic Anaehoomalu Bay. The par-70 Beach Course features numerous sand bunkers, water features and the most spectacular oceanfront par-5 in Hawaii on the 502-yard, 12th hole.
