Courtyard by Mariott Waipouli

We got married here in July 2025, and from the moment we arrived at the hotel we were greeted like old friends, and made to feel so special throughout our stay. Having stayed at many properties across Hawaii, this resort definitely delivers a better experience than its competitors. The pool is amazing, plenty of seating around fire pits in the evening, and the food is good too. The games arcade is a hit with children and adults alike. Massive thank you to Barbara and Naomi for organising our wedding and to Leila at the front desk, you all really made our visit even more special!

I cannot speak highly enough about the staff at this hotel. Throughout an unexpected tsunami evacuation we were guided by calm supportive staff. I want to especially recognize a management person named Barbara. She was amazing. The hotel is a perfect vacation spot!

The hotel has a nice aesthetic and even the basic rooms are nice, the pool is calm and serene, and very beautiful. Unfortunately, I would not recommend coming here if you are on your honeymoon or celebrating anything special. We checked in 2 days after getting married and I had called in advance to let them know we would be on our honeymoon. At checkin the front desk did not mention anything so I asked to ensure they had it listed and they did. It felt brushed off. We booked a standard room overlooking the coconut grove. We didn’t need a fancy view and the room worked fine.. except the luau was right outside our window, super loud, until 9pm most nights of the 4 night stay 🫠. Wouldn’t be an issue typically but most things on the island close early so we were back in our room for most of the noise each night. We were not looking for a lot, just a little acknowledgement. I worked in the hospitality for 10 years, so I hate to complain, but this felt like a huge miss. Other than this issue, the hotel was fine. Did not blow us away but served its purpose. The Food was expensive for the quality. We avoided eating there after the first day or 2.
