The Beach at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

"Conceived and managed by Paul Brown, a well-known hair stylist with numerous salons in Hawaii, this boutique spa offers a unique experience: The spa looks directly onto Waikiki Beach (well, actually Kuhio Beach, at the far end of Waikiki)"

"On the eastern edge of Waikiki, this flagship Marriott sits on about 5 acres across from Kuhio Beach and close to Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, and Waikiki Aquarium"

"A massive, 1,310-room beachside resort that delivers both what you expect from the Marriott -- friendly service, well-kept grounds -- and what you might not -- five restaurants (including Waikiki's best sushi), a top spa on-site, and free snorkel and scuba lessons"

"Our independent authors have visited Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa and selected this as one of our recommended accommodation in Waikiki"

"Across from Kūhiō Beach, this hotel’s Ali’iolani Tower offers very large guest rooms; many Paokalani Tower rooms have great views of Diamond Head"

"The Marriott's towers can be seen from nearly anywhere along Waikiki, making the hotel one of the landmarks used to figure how far you've meandered down the beach"

"Dining choices are as varied as they come and include the poolside Moana Terrace, a Japanese outlet and Kuhio Beach Grill, an attractive tropical restaurant serving buffets and a la carte dishes at breakfast and dinner"
