Kauai Marriott Resort & Beach Club
The Kauai Marriott is best if you want to be close to downtown Lihue, one of Kauai's largest towns, and to the Lihue International Airport. Located just down the hill from the airport, the Kauai Marriott's landmark pink facade dominates the cliffs on which it is built. Overlooking Kalapaki Bay and the nearby boat harbor, guests have unrestricted views of the Pacific and nearby mountain ranges. Golfers will enjoy the adjacent Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, while families will love swimming in one of Kauai's largest pools. After a day of swimming or hiking, relax in one of the resort's five world-class restaurants for authentic Hawaiian and Pacific Rim cuisine.
