Sorry to hear the report. We were looking forward to the newly updated rooms.

I noticed that same thing at the Marriott Kauai Beach Club in Lihue. When they renovated the units in Kauai, the new furnishings looked really cheap in comparison to what was originally sold. I wonder if this is a deliberate decision by Marriott, or if they just used the same bad interior designer?

On the plus side, the timeshare unit renovations at the Marriott Mountainside in Park City Utah used first-class furnishings.

We stayed in both Lanai and Molokai buildings last year. In Molokai the new beds are great. Lanai didn't have them yet and what a difference. Re: the decor , I have always been disappointed in the same old teal green and maroon Marriott decor. Go to one resort or hotel room and it is the same as another. I agree they must be using the same old designer, and he doesn't have much imagination. So disappointing. I was hoping for tropical Island colors and rattan furniture for Hawaii. The only Marriott timeshare I have been in that had beautiful tropical decor was the Cypress Harbour in Orlando. They should find the decorator they used there and rehire him. I say him, because the decor certainly appears to be of a masculine choice.

Mind you, I guess they can buy one of a kind mismatches by the thousands at a better price, so why bother about an individual look for each complex? And if you have to replace a chair or a drape, nothing matches anyway, so you can put in anything as long as it is teal green or maroon, striped, checked, flowered, or plain. And the walls are pretty well painted light yellow. Perhaps the idea is that you will immediately feel at home at any Marriott. Wouldn't it be nice tho when you trade, to be surprised at each new place, to find lovely furnishings aptly chosen for the area, so you could feel you are at a different resort?
