Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club is a hotel in Ko Olina, Hawaii, a resort community in Kapolei. It is located 30 minutes away from Honolulu on the western side of Oahu. Opened in 2003, the hotel consists of three resort towers, each housing roughly 200 units. The resort is expected to construct a fourth and final tower in the near future which would add an additional 202 units to the property.
Primarily a time share resort, Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club's guest rooms offer the amenities found in homes, such as kitchens and washing machines. The resort also contains three pools and three restaurants.
Owned and managed by Marriott Vacation Club, the resort also serves as a timeshare property. The property underwent a renovation in 2014, which remodeled the rooms and updated the exteriors and cosmetic appearance of the hotel.
