Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club is one of the few resorts on the island of Oahu. While there are tons of hotels in Waikiki, few have villas or suites to accommodate families or groups larger than 4 occupants, and almost none have full kitchens! Ko Olina is one of the newest resort areas on Oahu. A 45-minute drive from Waikiki and only 30 minutes to Pearl Harbor, we found that our day trips to different parts of the island were easy with a rental car. And we always rushed back to our comfortable, clean room. The resort had plenty of enjoyable amenities we enjoyed, such as the 3 pools (including one quiet "tranquility" pool), many hot tubs (including one right next to the beach!), gym, ping pong table, live music & luau, free DVD rentals, and easy lagoon access. There were activities scheduled daily that gave us plenty to do without leaving the resort. For a Maui-like resort stay on Oahu with access to the Oahu sights, sounds, and eats, this was the perfect fit for our needs!
