Laptop and PDA toting guests can now enjoy even more connectivity to our high-speed Wireless Internet service at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort.

With the recent expansion of our coverage in the beach-side Kealohilani Tower, Aloha Business Centers now offers guests the option of high-speed Internet from the comfort and privacy of their guest rooms. Our wider signal coverage including both pools and the Moana Terrace Cafe and Bar now offers substantial more connectivity, and provides even more roaming capabilities throughout the resort while maintaining the high-speed connection.

As Wi-Fi continues its world-wide massive expansion as the universal wireless Internet standard, Aloha Business Centers continues to expand our coverage and the availability of this popular service.

Westin Location Significantly Expands Wireless Internet Coverage

Upon the installation of a new access point and antenna, Westin Kaanapali Beach Hotel guests now can enjoy Aloha Business Centers' Wireless Internet (WiFi) over a much larger coverage area. According to Aloha Business Center President Craig Morgan, 99% of the "public areas" are now WiFi capable, including the pools, the Colonade Bar, Front Lobby and Concierge, the Ono Restaurant and Garden Bar, as well as the Tropica Restaurant.

For business travelers, the new WiFi signal greatly enhances the ability to do work, with the freedom to roam around the hotel while maintaining a continuous high-speed and always-on connection to the Internet. With coverage now at the Lahaina Breakout and Kaanapali Ballroom areas, including an excellent signal from the center of the large Haleakala Ballroom, no other property in Kaanapali offers business travelers this convenience.

Guest rooms have not been left out, as one of Aloha Business Centers' priorities was to reach as many guest rooms as possible. In fact, some 375 rooms in both the Ocean and Beach Towers that are facing the beach and pool areas enjoy this same high-speed Wireless Internet signal. From your hotel room, from your meeting room, and from the pool, and more, wireless Internet at the Westin Kaanapali Beach Hotel is now available with substantial increased coverage. The Westin Maui is now truly a "hotspot".
