I just got back from the Waikiki Marriott about 2 weeks ago. I HIGHLY recommend this property. I was traveling with our babysitter and 18 month old son, on a reward stay, and they upgraded me to the family suite - not 2 rooms, but bigger than other rooms - lots of extra room for the sitter and the crib. The staff were wonderful, beyond expectation. The pool is nice (small, but nice), and the location is across from Waikiki beach and has a break-wall that really cut down on waves, etc - so my son could go into the water really without a problem (unlike most other areas of the Island that have an under-tow problem). The hotel is in easy walking distance of Dukes (great place for breakfast), and right next door is a restaurant called Tiki's, which is a great place for lunch. The shopping area is a long walk or a short taxi drive away.
