메리어트 와이콜로아 오션 클럽

이곳은 오래된 호텔입니다. 직접 보시면 아시겠지만, 벽도 천장도 바닥도 일직선이 아닙니다. 모든 것이 휘어져 있죠. 하지만 최대한 잘 관리해서 많은 리모델링을 했습니다. 공용 공간은 아름답게 꾸며져 있고, 객실도 곳곳에 조금 낡긴 했지만 괜찮습니다. 청결 상태도 아주 좋습니다. 빅 아일랜드에서 좋은 선택이며, 길 건너편에 있는 힐튼 호텔보다 훨씬 앞서 있습니다.

기껏해야 평균 수준입니다. 벽은 종이처럼 얇습니다. 손님들은 아이들이 소리 지르는 걸 신경 씁니다. TV 소리는 시끄럽고, 방은 어둡습니다. 천장 조명은 없습니다. 얼음을 갈아내는 제빙기는 정말 훌륭합니다. 다른 리조트처럼 손목 밴드 대신 키 카드를 사용합니다. 메리어트 조식과 레스토랑은 평범합니다. 특별한 건 없습니다. 기념품점은 크고 물건과 간식이 많으며 늦게까지 영업합니다. 킹스 샵과 퀸스 마켓플레이스와 가깝습니다. 포인트만 사용했지만, 엄청난 할인을 받지 않는 한 제 돈으로 예약하지는 않을 겁니다. 다른 곳에서 콘도를 빌리는 게 낫습니다.

I have been wanting to come back to Waikoloa for 20 years and we finally made it back. It is a beautiful older resort. Loved the refurbished rooms. We had a pool view room but were pleasantly surprised with a pool/oceanview room. Love A-Bay beach and how secluded it is. Thought we could snorkel but it was pretty murky. We felt the history of the kings ponds and loved the trail by the queens shops. Definitely will be back!

I really don't understand the negative reviews. We had a great stay. Our room was great -- we got the 1 BR, ocean view, clean, everything was in working condition, bed was comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful. Our room has no full kitchen --- but why do major cooking chore when on vacation?! It does have microwave, full size refrigerator, instapot, kettle, toaster, etc. There's a nice in-house restaurant and some great restaurants across the street at Kings Shops. And if on a budget, Queens Marketplace is a short walk from the resort. The Waikola Beach is a short walk from the hotel premises, is in a cove and kept the water calm even on windy days. Water is not that clear though during my visit, but we spotted some turtles while snorkeling. A great beach to watch the sunset. There's a petroglyph reserve also within walking distance. It's a great base to explore the Kona side of the Big Island. Now if you want to explore the Hilo side of the island, you may need to plan more time; there was a reason this was called the Big Island.

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.

Had two two-night stays back to back… last minute reservation… the room renovations are very noticeable and they did a great job…the amenities at the resort are top- notch, parking remains horrible- spaces are two narrow, double-spaces,front to back are not helpful, so a minivan effectively takes up 4 spaces…it was explained to me that the lot was at one time a “valet lot” and only had experts parking the vehicles- the lines painted are the responsibility of the hotel-resort, NOT THE VACATION CLUB… the resort manager Mr Nourollahi cares deeply about each owner… his staff, including Kanani Abe, were extremely helpful during our stay…will certainly return again next fall…
