Facilities in the hotel
There was an outdoor pool on the 3rd floor of both the Kealohilani Tower and Paoakalani Tower. The pool at Paoa Kalani Tower was a little small, but there was a jacuzzi. There was a bar by the pool at the Kealohirani Tower and it was a little bigger. You can rent towels by the pool, so there is no need to bring your own.
There was also a gym on the 3rd of Paoa Kalani Tower. Guests can use it for free 24 hours a day.
There was also a business center on the second floor of Paoa Karana Tower. You can use it anytime as long as you have your room key. There is a personal computer, printer, copier, fax, scanner, etc.
There was “Royal Kaira Wedding & Spa” on the second floor of Paoak Karana Ni Tower. It seems that there are rooms where you can receive treatment while looking at the sea in Waikiki, and rooms where you can receive treatment as a couple.

Beach
Kuhio Beach is just across Kalakaua Avenue which is right in front of the hotel. This is a beach for families where the waves are very calm because there is a breakwater off the beach and families with small children can play safely.

Summary
I had a nice stay at the “Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.” I was able to get a room upgrade because I am a member of Marriott and I very much enjoyed the view of the Diamond Head from my room. The hotel itself is not new, but the rooms are renovated and clean, so I was able to spend a comfortable time. This is a reasonable hotel to stay at and I highly recommend staying here!
