Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

[Tammy Host]

With its luxurious amenities and laidback atmosphere, the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort encourages guests to savor every moment in paradise. Recent renovations and the addition of the chic Mandara Spa add to the resort's allure.

Time seems to slow its pace here on the Big Island. Plush yukata robes and rich kona coffee seduce lovers to spend the morning lounging in their private oceanfront lanai. To fill the afternoon, adventure seekers find nearby horseback riding and biking trails, while golfers drive and putt through two scenic championship courses. An evening stroll along the palm-fringed 'Anaeho'omalu Bay followed by an authentic luau, a colorful blend of island music, dance and storytelling coupled with traditional cuisine offer a sweet close to a blissfully indulgent day.

Weddings at Marriott's Waikoloa Beach reflect the resort's commitment to quality service. Outdoor ceremony and reception venues can accommodate up to 700 guests. On-site wedding coordinators manage all day-of details, allowing the bride and groom extra time to enjoy friends and family.

Has anyone actually been to this resort? I think we will go here for our honeymoon, but wanted some feedback! They just finished (or are about to finish) a multi-million dollar renovation...

Yes, I photographed a wedding there this year. It's beautiful!

There was some construction going on at the time (April) but it didn't interfere with anything.

here's the outdoor reception at twilight:



And the bar had this retro feel to it, which I really liked:



Here's the beach:

PS in my opinion the Mauna Lani next door had better architecture but I'm sure it is more pricey. The beach at the Mariott was great.
