The Kauai Marriott is a beautiful, if somewhat opulent resort hotel. Definitely impressive in terms of grandeur and luxury, this is one of the Hawaiian ''super resorts''. The pool alone takes up some 35,000 square feet! Everything seems immense and gradiose. There are courtyards, balconies overlooking the pool and the ocean, jacuzzis, bars, restaurants, shops, tennis courts, a golf course, etc... It's all very contrived but well done and it certainly succeeds at being a relaxing, indulgent, aesthetically pleasing place to stay.
