Marriott’s Waikoloa Ocean Club

Convenient Location: The hotel is praised for its convenient location, offering easy access to nearby shopping malls like Queens Marketplace and Kings Shops.

We just had an amazing stay here, and we would love to come again. We were in a 2 bedroom unit. We had a king bed in the master and two queens in the second bedroom. Both have nice bathrooms. There's a pull-out sofa in the living area. The AC worked great. Unlike other MVC resorts, this one doesn't have a full kitchen (we heard they're not allowed to due to some regulation). There's a full-size fridge, sink, small dishwasher, a huge kitchen table. They seemed to have a lot of appliances to make up for the lack of oven and stove--they had an instant pot, rice cooker, blender, toaster. We didn't cook much, but you could have figured out a way to cook some things. Everything seemed well maintained and in good working order. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There's a really lovely white sand beach. We swam there multiple times and even saw a sea turtle our last morning. The pools are beautiful and didn't seem overly crowded. The Kings and Queens Marketplaces are very close by. The Island Gourmet store is our favorite--we had breakfast there each morning, and bought local produce, etc. (The coffee shop in the lobby seemed to have a nice menu and reasonable prices for breakfast sandwiches, too.) You could get by without a car, but the parking here is FREE! That seems to never be the case at resorts in Hawaii.

I've been here 3 nights now and every night my bed has been short sheeted. I've called down and talked to numerous managers and the problem hasn't been fixed. The staff is nice but the hotel definitely needs an overhaul. I've fixed the problem myself by double sheeting, but is this what I'm paying resort fees for? Check your beds people.
