As you can see, the property added a ton of cabanas on the pool deck during its renovation, as well as a couple of fire pits fronting Kalakaua Avenue. However, the doors and walls are still thin, so what hallways noise there is easily seeps into the room.

HVAC in our room operated wonderfully throughout our stay. The sun blaring in during the late afternoon makes for a challenging cooling environment, but, overall, the system worked well and was near silent on low fan speed. Single-use bottles are still the name of the game here. They defrauded participants and left us hanging. Kudos to those that still participated, but we did not. That said, the upgrade to this outstanding room along with some good eats really helped to take my mind off that issue and gave the Mrs.

So thank you to the staff of the Waikiki Beach Marriott. That said, I was doubly impressed by the extra steps you guys took to ensure our needs were met this time around. But at the end of the day, it was a great space to spend a couple of nights in and we were sorry to leave. Your email address will not be published. Combined with modern, low-rise couches, contemporary furniture, and splashes of orange, the lobby feels young, hip, and modern, and keeps guests of all ages milling about longer than usual.

Maybe that's because the tiny rooms only square feet feel like cruise ship cabins. And while the amenities -- a pool, gym, "chill" room with massage chairs, and two restaurants -- are quite pleasant, the eight- to minute schlep to the beach far by Waikiki terms , is a hassle for families or sun worshippers.

Check out the Aston Waikiki Beach if you have kids in tow, want more space, or plan to be at the beach every day, or Hotel Renew , which has charming, newly renovated rooms and free breakfast and is closer to the beach. Service is friendly, warm, and especially prompt when you ask and even when you don't. Bellmen are quick to help, and check-ins are fast.

I arrived a few hours before the 3 p. The Courtyard by Marriott is located on Kuhio, a decidedly less prestigious address than its parallel neighbor Kalakaua Avenue, located one long block away. It's about a minute walk to the beach -- far by Waikiki standards and less than ideal for sun worshippers or families with little kids in tow -- and it doesn't have the door-to-door restaurants and haute shopping right outside like properties on Kalakaua.

Still, it feels safe at night, and is close enough to the action. In contrast, Kalakaua Avenue, a touristy, milelong stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels that runs along Waikiki Beach on Oahu's southeast coast, offers a curious blend of mainland creature comforts and local flavor. On the sidewalks, Japanese tourists intermingle with tanned locals, surfboards under their arms, on their way to the beach to catch a few waves after work.

On both sides of the street, high-end retailers -- Tiffany, Cartier, and yes, even an Apple store -- are interspersed with indoor malls and streetside vendors hawking cheap seashell jewelry and T-shirts. Seemingly every mid-market chain restaurant can be found here -- Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Tony Roma's -- along with more than a handful of Starbucks and fast-food joints. And towering above it all: story, thousand-room hotels dotting the landscape like pins in a cushion.

Loosely speaking, the entire 1. In reality, it's more like three separate beaches, the borders of which vary depending on whom you ask. The Courtyard Waikiki is located about a minute walk from the section called Queen's Beach, which is the part you see on postcards of Waikiki: manicured, palm tree-dotted lawns leading to a sunny white-sand beach. Children splash about in the shallow water near the shore, while surfers and stand-up paddle-boarders the rad new thing to do patrol the outer waters.

To summarize Queen's Beach in one word: packed. Packed with energy, packed with activity, packed -- most significantly -- with people. Towels carpet the sand like blankets at a sold-out concert.
