Beach Villas at Ko Olina

STELLAR!We booked through VRBO.Start to finish - exceeded all expectations and was an exceptional experience. Consider it an investment towards your happiness and wellbeing.Spectacular views, exceptional lodgings - think "Paradise."The staff additionally did not disappoint. Fantastic attention to detail; greeted us as soon as we pulled up to the curb, escorted us to our condo to physically walk us through everything and had outstanding recommendations.The location, four lagoons, neighboring hotels (variety of restaurants to choose from) and how well appointed this place is ... a total home run! The three bedroom villa/condo/apt was exceptionally upscale, spacious, beautifully decorated with very comfortable bedding and literally had everything. From a stocked medicine cabinet of OTC stuff like Advil PM and so forth, every possible anything you might want in a kitchen (with a shopping center in walking distance for groceries,) water toys, beach towels; you'll want for nothing. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Stayed here for a week. Had two comfortable rooms. My favorite was the spacious kitchen and having a few breakfast mornings on our patio seating area. And can't go wrong with a two minute walk to lagoon 2 morning, noon, and night. My only thing was the washer/dryer in our unit. Didn't seem to work at times and drying would take a while whether small or big of a load. Other than that, we all enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

One of the most amazing places we've ever stayed at! Perfect if you want a peaceful quieter area to stay in Oahu. Loved the Villa, lagoon and walking trail. Will definitely be back!

The condos are very nice. If you want to be in Ko Olina, this is where to be. It is smaller than the other major resorts in the area. There are two buildings, the Beach and the Ocean. This is the Beach and is behind the Ocean. We met many owners while there. They gave us the pluses and minuses of each building. Each condo is privately owned. Hence, no two are exactly alike. They all have their own furniture, etc. I would also state Penthouse is used for floors 10-16 (no 13 floors). Noise travels from balcony to balcony very easily. The condo is as advertised. Note that NO umbrellas are allowed in the lagoons, so don't drag them to the beach. There are rules for the condo for parking, towels on patios, etc. It didn't bother us, but many guests complained about it while we were there. The workout room is well-appointed. I enjoyed the wet and dry saunas in the ladies locker room. Every night there was a singer song writer at the little bar. Usually, we could hear it from the patio. As others had mentioned, no restaurant was on site, but that was a big deal for us. We would love to come back and stay here. The staff at the condo is accommodating as well. We had a check-in issue, but that was our owner's fault, and they tried their best to make it a non-event.

Worst nightmare ever! Think twice about booking here specifically through Ola Properties! 1. Arrival date I was told someone would greet us and show us to our room.. Didnt happen. 2. Second day WORST NIGHTMARE BEGINGS we were celebrating my daughter and nephews bday... some how while we were in the pool our cakes were found on the ground... not just any cakes! 2 $200 cakes from Oahu cakes (beautiful cakes btw) they claimed high wind had knocked them down... we dont believe that to be true... As the above happened my sister was trying to get relocated to a different villa because the villa she was in had tons of roaches... Then we come up to our villa only to find out the entire building AC is not working... so we sleep with our sliding doors open BIG MISTAKE! Woke up and we all had mosquito bites all over us. Once we had woken up, we were promised it would get fixed that same day. that was a lie. Another night goes by no AC mosquito bites all over again. Tried multiple times to get a hold of someone from Ola properties. No luck with that. I had to stop by the lobby asked to speak with the manager and showed her all the mosquito bites which she was very understanding and she guaranteed me the AC would get fixed that afternoon. At one time i spoke to a ladie named Debbie from Ola properties and she was always very rude! She called me to accuse us of jumping some fence to get to lagoon. Didnt even ask if it was us! She went straight to the point and accused us. Mind you staff at the Villas property would recommend misconduct behavior. Alex the pool manager suggested we burn the place down, jokingly I know, but seriously... that was their way to make it up to us... then we found a wallet and towel near the pool bar and when we turned it he also (jokingly) asked why didnt we just keep it as it had cash in it... Our view was so beautiful I will say I would give the place 5 stars just for the view but that doesnt make up for the week we had while at the resort!

BIG NIGHTMARE -- long review yet reading may save your life (I know it sounds melodramatic yet you will soon see it may not be!)The resort was gorgeous and the rooms were spacious and lovely. The problem was that the pool area by Bldg 3 with waterfalls are notorious for causing falls and I was only one of the victims! While waiting for our room to be ready, my family went to the pool area, as the grandchildren wanted to swim. Unbeknownst to me, my daughter-in-law slipped on the smooth slate pavers before she got to me, yet my son was able to catch her before she hit the stone surface. My 6 year old granddaughter also fell on the slick surface, not once, but twice!!! I had navigated to the chair by the pool without incident earlier, yet when I got up to join my family in the chairs behind me, I felt like my legs were swept from under me -- as if I was on an ice-skating rink -- and I fell down VERY hard, hitting my head in the process! My family rushed over to me, seeing the whole incident and helped me up. My right knee was bent forcing my ankle and lower leg to be pinned under me; my left wrist was throbbing with pain, apparently in my attempt to catch myself. A waitress came over to see if I was OK and sent a Safety Rep to fill out an incident report, which the many witnesses augmented with their view of the accident.Believing I only had sprains, I immediately stopped by the front desk on the way to my room to ice my sprains and raise my leg and reported that my daughter, grandchild and myself had fallen on this very slippery area and they needed to put a sign up -- they had a few up around the area yet none at the most dangerous one.I could write a short story re: what happened next yet suffice it to say that I warned everyone I saw over the next 5 days to watch the area by this pool and went down to the front desks at least 4 times to report that others told me they had either slipped themselves or watched others slip -- one a little boy. All in all there were 7 guests during 5 days who had reported falling/or witnessed falling to me by the time I left the resort 6 days later. Nothing was done! I spent my vacation in my room with leg elevated with ice packs on my wrist and ankle -- a Netflix marathon!As I was not improving, I went to the front desk and the clerk said they had no first aide at the hotel and texted me a list of urgent care centers. I spent the next 5 hours with my husband at her recommended one before learning I had a broken wrist and avulsion ankle fracture The clerk apparently mentioned her referral to Safety because the next evening he showed up at my door saying no incident report was on file (yet later found the original which only stated I fell) and yelled at me for going to urgent care without notifying him. I told him I went to the front desk. When asked why the hotel had failed to take steps to stop the falls, he replied they couldn't --"It is our busy season." He also made me prove that I got the list of urgent care from the desk by demanding I forward the text to him.NOW I am ANGRY! They apparently by their lack of action don't care about people falling near the pool and were made aware of the danger several times by me alone!!! They are obviously not going to do anything about it unless the victims band together and sue them, making an impact on them! If you fell at this resort by the pool with the waterfalls, please contact me with dates and an email. I will forward to an attorney to handle. Someone could easily hit their head resulting in death, if they haven't already.Marriott has tangled with the wrong person, despite my Sr Citizen age. I have worked for Northrop Grumman creating and maintaining their web site up until a few years ago and I am launching a web site where I can locate other victims and where they can get in touch with me: oahu-marriott-timeshare-deathtrap.com Let us prevent future injuries due to negligence!

Wow. I was not expecting all the rules that this place has. What a unique experience. The unit we stayed in smelled like sweat, there were stains on the bedding (which honestly, did not seem like the staff changed the sheets eww.) So we did the laundry ourselves. But wait, the laundry machines? SO SMALL. You can't do more than 2 sheets at a time and the dryer..oh the dryer.. even when set to 2 hours, the sheet didn't dry. No. It took 4 hours. This was also the case for towels. Anyway, the pillow case had what looked like blood on it.. I was so disgusted. I did bring my own pillow case thankfully. The staff are so unhelpful. All they really cared about was making sure we knew their rules..and that was it. Someone was in our parking spot, so we parked the next one over. Go up for a few minutes and BAM. Parking notice. Go tell the front staff that the situation is someone was in our spot..their response? Wait until 5 pm and don't park in anyone else's spot. Wtf?? Also, their towels had hair on them. HAIR. WTF? Why is the cleanliness lacking here? So of course, washed the towels ourselves every single day. The worst part was the mattresses. Oh.my.god. Do they not do a check on these units?? If you're paying these prices..ugh. So my mattress squeaked the entire time. The mattress also was so worn down that my head was okay when I laid down, but the lower half of my body sunk down so I was slanted. Needless to say, sleep didn't come well. This was also the case for the mattress in the other room. The positives: the view was amazing. The lagoon (2) was amazing. Would I come again? Idk. The people who work there seem SOOOO unhappy and they are so not friendly. Totally not the vibe you expect.

Stayed at the Beach Villas for 7 nights recently for the first time. I am impressed! The location was between the Marriott hotel and Disney Hotel. It comes right out into Lagoon 2 which felt like a cozy private beach. The beach was clean, and had soft sand. No rocks, seaweed, or trash in the beach. The pool has a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by large plants and flowers. My favorite was the hot tub! It's a short 10-15 walk to the other hotels. The unit had 2 bedrooms and a kitchen, and a sitting area with a pull out bed. There was 2 full bathrooms. The room was equipped with everything you need from pool towels, cooler, cart, boogie boards, etc. Nice appliances too! I had my coffee outside the veranda every morning watching the joggers jog between the hotels. Amazing view of the garden and beach! Just a tip, Uber Eats delivers to this place! Also, if you like snorkeling, sailing, and luau, the Ko'Olina Ocean Adventures were wonderful. They were only a few blocks away from the beach villas. Loved the experience and looking forward to our next stay.

Location and lagoon is wonderful. Sadly, you will be woken at 6am to screaming children in a hot tub, without any parent accompanying them. If you want some personal time in the hot tub or spa area, it will be rudely interrupted by some kids still in diapers. Drinks at the bar are extremely expensive and underwhelming. But like I said, great views if you can look past the unprofessional aspects of the "resort".Would hate to be a resident here dealing with the ignorance. :(

Beautiful time visiting Hawaii during Christmas with family. The layout of the villa was nice, there were some areas that could have been nicer like fresh paint on some areas. The staff was nice and helped when a light bulb went out and the coffee maker was on Fritz. The pools and lagoons were well kept and clean. Jacuzzi was nice and hot. The common areas were clean and the private beach and bar was well maintained and operated.
