Marriott's Kauai Lagoons - Kalanipu'u — Hotel in Kauai

I'll start with the negative. The rooms need to be renovated and cleaned properly. I unferstand that there is a labor shortage on the island. Our couch was dirty, and I had to have them come and shampoo it while we were there. Our dishwasher kept leaking. The crazy part was that a maintenance man acknowledged it had a broken seal and the dishwasher needed to be replaced. The manager basically said that I was lying and that it was no longer leaking after we checked out, which made my request for compensation with Bonvo points essentially void. Um sir, where did the water on the kitchen Floor come from every time the dishwasher ran? The hardware used for cabinets in the bathroom were corroding. As much as I pay for maintenance fees, I expect everything to be in top condition. Also, Troon owns all of the property surrounding the Kauai Lagoons and a lot of it is poorly maintained and there are abandoned buildings right by the lagoon itself. It is an eyesore. There is a walking path that could take you closer to the ocean and beach; however, this is a part of Troon's abandoned property and it is blocked off. The 2 bedrooms only have 2 full bathrooms. They do not have a half-bath like many of the other vacation club 2 bedrooms do. This makes the unit feel smaller than it actually is. We had 5 in our party (4 adults and a child) and we felt cramped.

Now, the positive. The location is great. It is right down the street from the airport! I loved that! It is also very close to Lihue for grocery shopping and other amenities. Do know that you do not have beach access, and there isn't an easy way to get there. That wasn't a big deal to me. I didn't go to Kauai to lounge on the beach every day. If you want to go, you have to go to Marriott's other property down the road. The resort is small and quiet, which makes for a more intimate experience. I don’t care for huge resorts. The recreation room is fantastic, and my son loved going there to play games. The resort activities are enjoyable, especially fishing. The staff is great and very helpful, except the one manager. And the lanais--the doors fully open. It is amazing. The best lanais I've seen in my 4 trips to Hawaii. I would return to this property again, only next time I would get a 3 bedroom if we travel with my parents or another couple...

This elegant tropical Marriott Hotel property on the beautiful garden island of Kaua’i conveniently hugs the shoreline of the lovely Kalapaki Beach, which is protected within the natural horseshoe-shaped Kalapaki Bay. Breathtaking views of the bluffs to the left or the massively impressive mountain range beyond the Nāwiliwili Harbor are a constant reminder that you are staying at one of the most beautiful and accommodating destinations in Hawai’i. On that same front view of the sandy beach are several beach volleyball courts, where on-lookers can enjoy cheering on highly skilled volleyball players, or pick-up a friendly game on another court. Visitors may rent any variety of beach equipment from the hotel or the fun line of shops along the west perimeter of the beach. A mix of local surfers and tourists can be seen enjoying the mild to moderate waves which makes it a perfect location for visitors to learn the art and skill of surfing with the guidance of expert instructors. And, paddle-boarders galore will find the waters temperate enough to enjoy smooth rides while strengthening those core muscles. Tropical restaurants serving juicy burgers and fries and a variety of fare can satisfy even the pickiest little tourist. It’s the perfect family-friendly destination, or romantic Honeymoon location that will meet every first-time or seasoned visitor’s expectations with its perfect location, delicious food stops, and so many outdoor water sports to enjoy. Not to mention, their authentic Hawaiian Hula dancers, fire dancers, and live singers/musicians deliver an OUTSTANDING Hawaiian Hula Show that is both mesmerizing and fun to watch (or become a part of!). The property has so much to offer, both inside and out, that it would be an injustice if you did not simply google this hotel property on a historic location, itself. Vast and beautifully diverse terrain and acres and acres of championship golf-courses and lagoons and giant Babylon trees which must be over 150 years old. And, I haven’t even told you about their phenomenal statues/art collection. The Mariott Kaua’i Lagoons will give you an incredibly impressive place to return to, while you’re visiting the breathtaking...
