SAN Posted August 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2004 My family is on an Infinity cruise to Hawaii in Dec. I would like to know if The Marriott will let passengers from the cruise lines use the services of their hotel for a day. The last time I cruised Hawaii, the Marriott was then called the Westin and the Constitution had guest privilages at the hotel, free, and we were shuttle to the hotel. Do anything guest services.exist like that now and is there a charge? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVERBALLS Posted August 14, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2004 San, I just called the Marriot and inquired about use of the facilities for the day and was told they do not allow it . Passengers visit the shops but cannot obtain passes for the pool. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISABELLA Posted August 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2004 You can use their beach. We will be in December on Infinity and were planning on use of the beach like we did last year during the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAN Posted August 18, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thanks Isabella for you reply. Can we walk to the beach from the pier? My family doesn't want to rent a car to see Kauai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVERBALLS Posted August 19, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes the beach is close enough to walk to and it is a nice protected beach...................Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleen93 Posted August 19, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Remember that all beaches in Hawaii are public property - hotels can't stop you from using the beaches in front of their property. There are no private beaches. Of course, you may need to walk a bit to get access to the beach ... :) Spleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISABELLA Posted August 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2004 There is a free shuttle service to the small shopping area less than 5 min ride and the Marriott resort is about 5 min walk from the shopping. I do not think you can rent anything, but we used their chairs and nobody said anything to us. In Maui, we went to Kanapali beach, Westin hotel wanted $70.00/day or $40.00 for half a day for rental of one cabana. Their grass felt very soft and nice. See you in December...........

Aloha_Jackie Posted August 20, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I called Marriott the other day to see about day use rates - they no longer have them and wont allow access to their facilities - but we decided we would just go there and hang out at Kalapaki beach - and as Spleen says - just use the beach. I did get rate info - no availability for the date we are there for Garden view (cheapest rate) and was told that a Partial ocean view partial pool view room would be $239 - a bit outrageous if you arent even going to sleep there. I chatted with my TA on this - but havent resolved anything. I called the resort directly several times, the number is 1800-228-9290 they do have a timeshare side of the house and we do own, but they werent able to help - they $239 is the best rate for our date. Spa can be used by the general public, you dont have to be a guest at the resort to book a service - or so I was told. Guess its the shuttle or rent a car and go to Poipu, unless we choose from one of the lame snorkel tours Princess is offering for that island. Drat!
