We are finishing up a points booking today. Stayed 5 nights (5th night free w points). I am Marriott Platinum

Briefly to answer some questions and add some comments:
1. Charged resort fee of $35 a night
2. Charged valet fee of $30 a night (I didn’t see any places to self park, the parking lots all had signs up saying valet parking only or something to that effect.)
3. Asked (via email prior to arrival) about upgrading my room category and was given a list of available rooms to upgrade into for extra points or cash per night. (Had booked a garden view room, decided to keep my reservation as is.)
4. Upgraded to a partial ocean view room on arrival on the ground floor. It was opposite the kiddie pool which was perfect for us and our 2yo son. We could basically walk out of the balcony to the kiddie pool and walk back to the room whenever we wanted.
5. Breakfast in the restaurant is 30ish per person for buffet. Kids under 5 eat free. They also have a cafe in the hotel lobby where you can get a coffee and a pastry if you’re not feeling like eating that much for breakfast, or you can walk up to the Honolua store (~5 min walk) to grab some food.
6. Ate at the Burger Shack one day for lunch and it was pretty good.
7. Would recommend Joeys Kitchen which is a 5 min drive fro them hotel for dinner. Pretty good Filipino/Asian food.
8. Asked for a 4PM Check-out since our flight is late at night and was granted the request the night before departure. They said they couldn’t confirm on arrival but to check back the night before you leave.

Overall we had an enjoyable stay.
