Marriott's Maui Ocean Club - Molokai, Maui & Lanai Towers

I booked a 5 night stay here using my Bonvoy points. I was choosing between here and the Sheraton Maui Resort (Black Rock) but went with the Maui Ocean Club as they don't charge resort fees and their daily parking was cheaper. Those 2 things alone saved me a few hundred dollars. At one point, the point redemption differential between the 2 properties was about 25k points higher here vs the Sheraton but the dollar savings convinced me to go with this one. Plus, it got me a 1 bedroom suite with 2 bathrooms so it was a much bigger space. As this is a vacation club property, I knew going in that my Marriott Platinum status won't mean anything but it was ok as I didn't need a late checkout. We checked in promptly at 4pm. The clerk at the front desk explained the property pretty thoroughly although the one part I can't recall if she went over was the housekeeping. I say that because we didn't receive daily housekeeping but only 1 midweek housekeeping. I thought that because I booked my reservation directly through Marriott that I was granted daily housekeeping but that didn't seem to be the case. In the end, it didn't matter too much as it was just the 2 of us. The room itself was nice and clean. I liked that it had 2 balconies. Our room wasn't directly facing the beach but more at an angle. It worked out as our room didn't get much of the direct afternoon sun and thus the room stayed cool during our entire stay. Actually, our room was much cooler than it was outside just by having the balcony door open without the need for AC. One of the pools was closed for maintenance but the main pool was open. The property update site mentioned construction work would be happening during our stay but we didn't find that to be a problem at all. I enjoyed the slide in the main pool although I wish it was longer and stayed open later. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Just hearing the ocean waves while getting ready to fall asleep was a treat in itself. We also liked watching the sunset from our balcony. The complimentary laundry facility was also a big deciding factor. I thought I'd have to wait for a washer/dryer to free up but they have about 10+ each so finding an empty one was never an issue. If I could make a suggestion though, I recommend posting signs to leave the washer door open while not in use. These were all front loading washers and if you close the door after use, the residual moisture inside the washer can't evaporate resulting in mold and mildew buildup plus that nasty dingy smell. I had to go through several washers before I managed to find one that didn't have that smell. One drawback was the proximity of the parking garage to our room. We were assigned to the farther garage so it took 5 minutes from room door to car door. A minor quibble and honestly not that big of a deal although it was a bit annoying when I realized halfway to my room that I forgot something in the car. The beach right in front of the property is at a steeper angle and much mor

When we first arrived and saw the dirty rugs in hallway and the plastic baseboards being ripped off and laying in hall and workers painting the railing, I thought there was no signs saying “excuse our appearance “ but obviously there some modernization going on . We knew that we had a 2 bedroom unit that was an old hotel conversion, with a sink, refrigerator and microwave and basic furniture . Nothing here resembled what we have typically seen in a Marriott property, I was upset. Then we walked onto the balcony and saw a beautiful view of ocean and pool area. At this point. We were very torn. Nothing much to do at this point so we made the most of it . We spent a lot of time outside , the pool area was great (and we got shady spot to sit if we got out there by 8am). There was no real beach to sit on since the water came up to beach walk but I did see some people in water. There was one nice restaurant to sit down for meals, a fast food bar that served drinks (bottled drinks) and a Starbucks. I usually visit the salon when on vacation , but it was closed. We enjoyed this beautiful spot and tolerated the interior for a week but would look for another place in the future!

This is a beautiful setting they really built wonderfully. HOWEVER the maintenance is severely LACKING. It’s very unfortunate. At 5pm people are still by the pool and the guy is noisily dragging lounge chairs. The sidewalk needs sweeping or hosing off EVERY DAY and there should be someone sweeping up the smashed flowers even if just at night. The hallways leading to the rooms had hair balls and trash. They should have ASSIGNED PARKING but instead we have to drive around the parking structure looking for a space. It all has to do with maintenance. Otherwise it is a beautiful setting!!!

My wife Michelle and I have visited this resort three times, and it’s been an incredible holiday destination every time. We’ve gone both with and without our kids, and the experience has always been fantastic. The resort is exceptionally clean, with multiple pools and a wide range of activities to keep everyone entertained. The diverse crowd from all over adds to the vibrant atmosphere. We would recommend this place without any hesitation!

Awesome property with kind staff and spacious rooms. Stayed for a week as family of 5 in a two bedroom ocean front unit. Unit was huge - lots of space for our crew and the full kitchen and laundry in unit was fantastic. Beautiful views! We loved everything about our stay - only factors that led to give 4 stars instead of 5: resort only had Pepsi products (we very much prefer Coke), pillows were horrible - old and floppy and uncomfortable, and the onsite restaurants were mediocre. Everything else was fantastic!

One of the best spot when we have an ocean view in a villa on the 9th floor Great for Marriott destination club members because the rate is over 1000$ a night if you are in a villa and not member Great restaurant on site and try a macadamia pie it is unique Everywhere you will find a smile and help A place to go in a marriott vacation Club
