Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: Complimentary shuttle service delivers a steady stream of international guests from nearby Lihue Airport through a tree-shaded avenue leading to the resort's upper entrance. New arrivals descend two stories by steep escalator to a grand esplanade and enormous tropical garden containing waterfalls and koi ponds. An airy lobby is ringed by pink-marble columns.
Amenity highlights: This Hawaii Marriott's pool's dimensions are: 210 feet in diameter, 26,000 square feet, 300,000 gallons of water, 1.2 million tiles. Seen from the Aupaka above, the round pool with its scalloped edge features pink-marble waterfalls, a six-pointed sundeck-island, sculpted-animal fountains spraying jets of sparkling water, and a palm-shaded sundeck—including a children's pool—spreading out to restaurants, lounges, and a broad sunning lawn bordering the beach. Five grand, wood-columned gazebos rise two stories from the pool to the Aupaka. Their top levels each contain a single black-marble table offering great views. Their bottom levels each contain a large hot tub next to the pool.
Insider tip: At the terrace level, the gazebos above the pool can be reserved for private dinners.
Property Amenities
Located less than two miles from the Lihue airport, this 356-room Marriott resort is on Kauai's east coast and includes a full-service health-and-massage spa, smart shops, and a children's activity program for ages 5–12.

The concierge desk arranges helicopter sightseeing flights, luaus, golf times, and all other activities available throughout the Hawaiian island. Wireless Internet access is available in the lobby (surcharge).
Between the pool complex and the coconut grove/sunning lawn bordering the beach is a broad path spanning the resort's width and leading to nearby shops, restaurants, and the cruise-ship dock on Kalapaki Bay.
