... to leave by 0630. As an owner we also received a discount card that entitled us to a 10% discount to dining and shopping in Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club and JW Marriott Ihilani Resort. Our room was located on the second floor with a view of the swimming ...

... lagoons that have been carved out of the coast, with a golf course, some gorgeous homes, and 3 large developments - a JW Marriott hotel, a condo development, and the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club (Marriott timeshare), which is where we are staying (on ...

hWe planned to be on Oahu for 3 days and 2 nights staying at the JW Marriott Ihilani resort. This resort sits on a relatively newly developed 640 acre oceanfront property that about 35 minutes from Waikiki. It is relatively isolated but self contained ...

... slack for saying this, but I'd skip Oahu if I had it all to do over again.  Originally we had booked several days in Oahu, however after only being on the island for about 6 hours - we knew instantly that it wasn't what we were looking for.  So ...

... bottled water waiting for us in the limo. We arrived at Marriott Waikiki about 11PM, HI time which is 5AM NY time. Marriott Waikiki Lobby looks like a rainforest with plants all over and a mini waterfall in the middle.  We are on the 14th floor ...

... Sort of packed in the morning and had a long stroll along Waikiki Beach for the last time. Ended up in an Irish bar - too many Guinness!! Early night as we need to be out of the room by 8.30am - sorry to leave Oahu, Hawaii, it such a relaxing place. ...

... car rented for the week so we drove to our resort which was a bout a 20 min drive out of town. We were staying at the Marriot at a timeshare villa and meg and I  had our own queen bed, living space and bathroom and we were attached to the main family ...
