Honolulu resorts

Cons: The pool should be larger. The poolside menu could use some more pizazz and creativity.

Cons: The dolidpin and turtle tanks, way to small for them to live

Cons: Wish there was good snorkeling right around there but that's asking for too much!!

Cons: Above average humidity for this time of year. We were told it was due to the El Nino from winter. Small pool (and number of chaise lounges) that can get crowded quickly. Food from the Seaside Grill and Plumeria is overpriced and okay, at best. Drinks overpriced, but tastes great.

Cons: I’m a Starwood member and was told at checkin that I’d receive a 10% discount on restaurants, spa etc at the Royal as well as the affiliate hotels. The gentleman said it would be deducted from the final bill; however, at checkout no discounts were applied. I questioned this and was told I needed to present my card at the time of each service and the deduction was not automatic. The bad info I received at checkin cost me at least $60.

Cons: So many kids and not enough chairs and umbrellas by pool

Cons: The gym was not good!

Cons: This place is expensive, it really helps to be in the mindset that you aren't bargain hunting when you stay here. If you are here in peak season and want to take advantage of beach chair or umbrella rentals you may want to book them before you are onsite.

Cons: Pool attendant was rather rude.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: They charge for a beach chair 45.00 daily. very crowded at pool and pool is very small.

Cons: This space intentionally left blank. :-)

Cons: Everything else

Cons: Minor gripes about cleanliness. Found a charm and a bobby pin left by previous room occupants, and toilet had a few hairs and spots also from previous occupants.

Cons: Mid-week was peaceful and serene. By the weekend the place was filling up with lots of tourists. Can't believe how many people were in Waikiki in general.

Cons: Our room seemed small. There were too many reasons we had to call for help, including repairs to the room and keys not working. All resolved, but annoying. I don't think a hotel of this caliber should be having these kind of problems. The price tag is very steep and I wasn't convinced it was worth it.

Cons: AC in historic wing could be better. Pool is very small. Not sure why families bring kids here, they'd be much happier at one of the bigger resorts (including the Sheraton right next door).

Cons: Daily parking fee, breakfast was just OK. Slow and small elevators.

Cons: Room and furnishing were nice and bellman even made sure to turn on refrigerator upon arrival. Only downsides I found were air conditioning was problematic, had thermostat set at 70, and room was closer to 80. Mattress has seen its better days, but linens were fresh and new. It might be the location of the room, but sounded like muffled fireworks going off every night, which after tthee first few nights determined it was an internal to hotel noise issue rat her than eternal. Like everything it was a trade off, I'm sure they woujld have moved me had I asked, but really liked the view so the "white no

Cons: parking was pretty expensive but they give you one day free for a week rate, the room was small for 5 people

Cons: For a resort they had a pull out bed. Compact size room.

Cons: Toilets are little old and there is no AC

Cons: Long check I lines after 2 pm

Cons: The 35$ breakfast cost. It was a surprise to me to pay that much for breakfast.

Cons: Outdated decor is easily overlooked for a clean low priced room

Cons: Room service neglected to replace the coffee pod on one of the days the room was cleaned. We didn't notice until the following morning when it was time to make coffee. When visiting the fitness room, one of the two elliptical trainers had a broken display. This made it impossible to use in any mode other than manual.

Cons: There was a lot of people staying whhich even though it had multiple elevators it took a long time to get from floor 1 to 31.

Cons: For the money not a nice hotel room. I would not consider it a 3 star hotel, more like a 2.

Cons: No much....

Cons: Nothing; we have no complaints.

Cons: The lobby needs to be updated. It was clean but the decor looked like it was from the 80's. They need to update it like the rooms. The elevators were a bit of a hassle. There were 4 of them and one was not working. The ones that were working seemed to have a mind of their own at times.

Cons: Our refrigerator broke on day one but they were good about replacing it The parking is expensive $30 a day as is the breakfast buffet $35 per person Wish the kids pool was heated The Morimoto restaurant customer service was disappointing as they kept saying the chef was there so we made multiple reservations and yet every time we went they came up with some excuse as to why we could not meet him. A great way to make money

Cons: I booked this room for my elderly parents for their first vacation in Hawaii. Paid for a partial ocean view room, and got only a slice of ocean. They were given the worst room possible in that category. AC unit outside room was extremely loud which made their sleep miserable. I feel sorry for them and regret booking this hotel. But the damage was done.

Cons: There's a hidden resort fee that you pay $20 a night for. But my question was, where's the resort? The clerk was like, "this is the resort." But he wasn't clear that the "resort fee" included beach towels and beach chairs. There's a LOT of construction going on. It doesn't bother me so much, but it might bother you. There's no pool, but the hotel does have access to the Hilton's pool next door. But I was just swimming at the beach the whole time. All the "resort" amenities are basically under construction/refurbishment- like the aquarium with restaurant and tennis courts. So the only thing was I was paying a resort fee when the stuff for the resort aren't even available. I feel like they should have just waived the resort fee.

Cons: in need of a slight remodel for the rooms.

Cons: Rooms could use microwave

Cons: I liked none of this experience

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: When booking I stated there will be 4 of us sharing the room but upon arrival they charged us more and insisted it was the fault of who ever we booked it through.

Cons: pool assignments during renovations and policing of property

Cons: Bathroom was not properly cleaned on arrival. :(

Cons: Parking and resort fee add over $60/day.

Cons: - based on the positive reviews and high price, I thought this would be better; - first time to Honolulu - I thought the location would be better; - move on - there's lots of better choices

Cons: When we arrived to our room, the city view was a view of the parking garage, actual a parked car was about 3 feet from our window. It was NOT a city view which I booked. When we called the front desk, we were advised they were completely booked and had no rooms available elsewhere. (We looked online and it did indicate there were rooms available for the night in a better location.) We were told we would be upgraded to a partial ocean view, but not until the next night. Also, there is an additional $30 charge per night for staying at that location, we were not advised of that until we were checking in. We also had to pay an additional $47 per day for valet parking which we also were not advised of until we checked in. The rooms are run down and carpets are old. In the high traffic areas the carpet had creases in spots, enough to cause us to trip. We had a negative encounter with one of your valets, we lost the valet ticket that was on the key, when we returned, they made a big deal of it, told us that we should have kept it on the key ring. Not good customer service especially after charging $47 per day!!!. This is a Marriott Resort and we booked it because of the name and our expectations were not even remotely met... Marriott should evaluate this location, both the desperate need of renovation and some of the customer service. If it's not going to be renovated soon, then charging appropriate hotel/motel rates and advertise appropriately.

Cons: They did charge me for valet parking when I only used guest parking. I had to get that corrected.

Cons: everything else

Cons: I didn't like the fact that you get a room rate online, but when you arrive there are extra fees (Resort Fee $30.00 a day, and if you valet park a vehicle, it is $37.00 a day). The fees are not necessarily hidden, they are just not posted on the daily rate schedule. You find out when you are checking in. I have stayed in Honolulu many times and these fees are normal for most of the hotels. Hence, it would be better to show all of the rates and fees that are associated with your stay, so that you can make an intelligent choice in your selection of a hotel,

Cons: My only complaint and my warning for folks booking here would be that the price is definitely not what you see. I booked my rooms on Kayak and paid in full at booking. When I got to the hotel I was told that there was a $30/ day + tax charge for staying in the hotel. To self park in the hotel parking garage is $35/day or you can valet park for $37/day. The additional $65+/day adds up quickly. Just a heads up. Otherwise the hotel was lovely.

Cons: Expected better view from upgraded room

Cons: Everything. This is not a hotel that should be associated with Marriott. I never used Marriott after this experience.
