I agree. The location is one of the most spectacular in the world--with rock formations in front of the hotel along the ocean that enhance the beauty.
There are also any number of spots where you can pull up deck chairs (always easy to find) to laze away the day listening to the waves with views to die for.
And best of all is the walking/jogging path along the ocean--I have never come across anything quite like it anywhere in the world. The Marriott is right in the middle of this path that stretches from the Kea Lani in the south to the private residence community (next door to the Renaissacne) in the north.
It's about five minutes to beaches walking on this path either way from the Marriott.
