    We will definitely stay here again. The resort has everything my family needed. Honestly, we didn't have to leave the area and if it were up to me we wouldn't have. The snorkeling in the lagoon could be better but there are other spots to snorkel very close by. Check out the little reef by Paradise Cove less than a 5 mins away from the resort. Get there early since parking is VERY limited. The resort gives you 24 hour access to the gym and there's a very nice path for early morning walks. *Staff* Every staff member at the resort was very friendly and hospitable. One of the staff members, Juanito gave all three of my girls pineapple candy which had them smiling from ear to ear. *The rooms* The 1 bedroom ocean view suite is awesome. VERY spacious and has everything you need with a full kitchen and in unit washer/dryer. We moved to a mountain view studio for the last few days. Okay for 2 people but I wouldn't recommend it for a family of 4 or more. You'll feel cramped. The studios come with a mini-fridge, rice maker, toaster, dish towels, dish soap, utensils, cup, glasses bowls, plates and laundry detergent. No stove and no in unit washer/dryer but there are 2 washers 2 dryers on the 7th floor in the Moana tower. No quarters needed. 👍 There are many activities for adults and children. My daughters favorite was the "Message in a Bottle" activity. Kids create a message in a bottle and are instructed to turn it in to the front desk for them to mail to loved ones. There is a cost of $3.50 for them to ship it but well worth it. *The Pools* What can I say..... we spent hours there. I can go on and on.... we can't wait to go back. 🤙

    Beautiful, well maintained place. Public parking is a bit complicated and well designed scam. Total waste of time waiting to find public free parking. Paid public parking is always easy and convenient. Swimming is fun but not as good feeling and visibility in the open areas beaches. Not worth bringing snorkel.

    The five stars are definitely NOT because of the parking available! Had to wait for about 30min to get a spot. I can say however that patience is a virtue and we were rewarded. This beach is truly GORGEOUS! So safe for little kids - no waves and nice gradual slope into deeper waters. We stayed here for a couple of hours. Glad we were persistent with the parking situation! Loved our time visiting this beach.

    Parking, showers, lawns, trash, and toilets are all free with this view! Moreover, turtles, mongooses, and seals also visit from time to time. If you're thirsty, you can go to the Marriott and have a drink, and it's the best beach on Oahu.

    Out of the lagoons, number 2 and 3 are probably the most "empty" ones. If you are looking for a more relax type of vibes then these two are the ones to go too.

    There are four man-made lagoons at Ko Olina, which have beautiful and prestine white-sand beaches and scenic views. My wife and I dropped by to have a quick visit to the four lagoons before sun sets in, which we did. The Ko Olina lagoons are located on the west side of the Oahu island, and the sunset view is awesome, which is likely to offer the same view during the day, and not to be missed when visiting Oahu. We took TheBus from the main road after our helicopter tour from the airport and connected with an Uber ride to reach the Lagoon4 as our starting point. We took the inner walkways to reach each of the other lagoons. We then walked to the main road to take TheBus back to Waikiki, an experience not to be repeated due to the long walk to the bus stand in the night. The cost of an Uber or Lyft ride can be rather prohibitive, though. The best is to visit early in the day and have the flexibility and choice of transport later in the day.

    Super clean, nice beach. Something you’d see in a Hawaii Magazine. 4 stars because there is very limited parking and now they’ve added a gate which deters local from enjoying the lagoons!!! Lagoon 4 has paid parking for $10! Not kamaaina friendly.

    Softest sand, clean, much quieter than Waikiki. Attached to a Disney resort as well. 4 lagoons to choose from, this one was by far the most calm & relaxing beach.

    Reasonably quiet lagoon on a Monday midday. Minimal people when I visited. This lagoon 3 is closest to the Marriott Beach Club with reserved cabanas, lounge chairs, and umbrella tables available for a fee. All equipment looked to be fairly well maintained and not dirty. Beautiful and calm area for families to swim and snorkel.

    Gorgeous little lagoon with nice bright sand. There are many sunbeds available both for the public and also for the convenience of nearby hotel guests. Marriott is situated right next to the lagoon, so it is also a good opportunity to try its bars and restaurants - even if you don't stay there, you can still pay separately.

    This lagoon is MUCH less crowded than lagoon 4. It’s just a little walk. Super nice usually! We enjoyed our time. Just like the other lagoons, kid friendly. No beach umbrellas allowed or anything. But always has the best sun on the leeward side. The beach this day was a lie Ely dirtier than normal because of the rain the previous day. Usually it’s very clean

    I like that there are many families with children and not many Japanese people. I relaxed and tanned on the lawn. Some people were having a barbecue.

  • 5/5 Peter J. 9 months ago on Google
    Incredible, amazing place to spend a hot day. On the weekends the parking can be tricky but with some patience you’ll find a spot. The lagoon is warm and the park around it is spotless.

    Beautiful quiet beach, few waves. The main negative point is that umbrellas are prohibited. Parking can also be difficult, depending on the time of day. Some restaurants nearby.

    One of the 4 man-made lagoons in Ko Olina. Lagoon 3 is next to Marriott resort, mostly visited by Marriott guests. There is restroom, shower at each Lagoon. There is no public parking at Lagoon 3. Beach goers either are Marriott guests, or have to walk from nearby Lagoon 4. All Lagoons are pretty shallow near the water edge, and calm. Not very crowded in March. Nice weather.
