1. One of the downsides of this hotel is a lack of resturants nearby.

"Marriott Ihilani - Expensive but a Great Experience " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/27/2012 Vote

2. The only other downside is that this seems like a romantic hotel but the new Disney hotel next door did interfere with some of our enjoyment as their staff seemed to be on the loudspeakers several times an hour announcing various events and the sound did carry to our balcony.

3. The only downside was that the food was very expensive.

"Fabulous Resort - Loved It! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/16/2011 Vote

4. The downside is, once Disney Aulani opens up, the secluded cove is going to be lost.

"Pretty good by JW standards but will be insane once Disney Aulani opens " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/21/2011 Vote

5. The only downside for those of us who have to work on vacation.

6. The downside of having the car has been mentioned in practially every other review, which is the $29 nightly charge.

7. The downside is that it's a long drive to Waikiki and Honolulu restaurants, night life and shopping.

8. I suppose the only downside is how far away from Waikiki it is, but then again this could also be a plus.

9. The only downside right now is that Disney is building its new resort next door and sometimes the construction noise was a little loud.

"One of the best... " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/17/2010 Vote

10. The only real downside to this luxury hotel is that you get nickel-and-dimed from the $30 parking to the $13 internet to the $5 water bottles, to the $25 breakfast buffet.
