Waikoloa Beach Marriott

Amenity highlights: The resort features Mandara Spa, which fronts the resort’s main swimming pool. The 5,750 square-foot spa offers seven single and double treatment suites along with men’s and women’s lounges complete with steam rooms. A hair salon and a fitness center are also featured.
From the pool complex that contains a water slide, children's sand-bottom wading-pool, and two spa tubs, it's a short, fascinating walk to the beach on Anaehoomalu Bay (A-Bay). Paths wind through rough lava rock, which contains petroglyphs, and bridges span the ponds for beach access.
Insider tip: The expansive beach is on calm Anaehoomalu Bay, shaded by coconut trees. Anaehoomalu means "protected mullet," a reference to the ancient fish ponds in which prized fish such as mullet would enter the ponds through screens, grow too large to return to the ocean, and be preserved for Hawaiian nobility. A beach-activities center rents out snorkel sets, kayaks, boogie boards, and pedal boats and arranges glass-bottom-boat, scuba-diving, and snorkeling excursions.
