Family photos by Pacific Dream Photography at Ko Olina.
We stayed at Marriott Ko Olina and decided to have our family pictures done! Their onsite photography, Blinnk (aka Pacific Dream Photography) was amazing! The entire process—from scheduling to photo selection—was a very positive experience. They were so flexible when we needed to change times and add a last-minute gender reveal for our daughter, which turned out amazing! Our photographer, Kaili Like, was phenomenal! He made us all feel so comfortable, had an incredible eye for lighting, and even stayed late to catch the perfect sunset. He was so accommodating to our requests and handled it all with class and professionalism. The photos turned out better than we anticipated and the areas around the resort and on the beach are perfect settings! We’ll cherish these photos forever. I highly recommend doing this to capture your family memories and be sure to ask for Kaili! He’s the best and was so patient with us as we chose our photos. 5 stars for sure!
Ko Olina Marriott is stunning
This place was amazing. All the luxury of Marriott without the stuffiness. Beautiful beach. Great service. All the extras.
Best family resort
We brought our family to this resort, including two babies, and it was the perfect place for a family vacation. One of the things we loved most was the spacious two-bedroom condo, complete with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. Traveling with little ones can make dining out challenging, so we appreciated being able to shop at Costco and barbecue dinner each night. The lagoons were ideal for babies and young children because the water is so calm and gentle. We spent most of our time enjoying the splash pad, water slides, and lazy river, which were a huge hit with the whole family. We also loved the resort activities, especially the sunrise yoga and water aerobics classes. The gym was well-equipped, although it tended to be busy throughout the day. What truly sets this resort apart are the stunning grounds. The landscaping and scenery are absolutely breathtaking and create a relaxing, tropical atmosphere. This is one of my favorite resorts, and we look forward to returning again in the future.
Exceptional Service
We always enjoy this location - exceptional hotel, very friendly and qualified staff and a wonderful environment. Some exceptional staff that have assisted us are Angel, Nikki Melvin, and Mona. Thank you for going above and beyond
The Best Resort Experience of Our Oahu Vacation
After staying at multiple resorts during our Oahu vacation, Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club was easily our favorite and the property we would most look forward to returning to. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa, which was spacious, spotless, and perfect for our family. Our ground-floor location near the pool couldn't have been better and made it incredibly convenient to enjoy the resort. The entire property was beautifully maintained. The pools were excellent, but the lagoons and beach area were the true highlight. The setting was peaceful, relaxing, and felt worlds away from the crowds found in other parts of the island. One thing I particularly appreciated was the resort's approach to pool chair availability. After leaving our towels unattended for about 35 minutes, staff removed them. While some guests may not like that policy, I actually applauded it. After experiencing resorts where chairs are claimed for hours and sit empty all day, it was refreshing to see management actively preventing chair hogging. I was able to retrieve my belongings easily and find another chair without any issue. The only minor inconvenience during our stay occurred at the onsite store. My 20-year-old son carried our shopping basket while I selected drinks and snacks, including alcohol. At checkout, I was informed that because he had carried the basket, I could not purchase the alcohol and would need to return through a different register. It seemed unnecessarily strict and was a bit inconvenient. The employee assisting us was also not particularly friendly. Fortunately, that was a very small part of an otherwise outstanding experience. The woman who checked us in was wonderful, the restaurant staff were warm and welcoming, and the overall service throughout the resort was excellent. Having also stayed at other well-known Oahu resorts during this trip, Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club stood out for its spacious accommodations, beautiful grounds, cleanliness, relaxed atmosphere, and exceptional beach experience. It delivered the perfect Hawaiian vacation and was, without question, our favorite stay on the island. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to families, couples, and anyone looking for a more relaxing resort experience on Oahu.
