The Kahala Hotel & Resort

It was marketed as a quiet place to rest away from the noise of the main area - but it was the sea world of hotels. Also they charged by for 2 nights for a 22hr stay because I arrived early in the morning.

In my opinion, it is the most beautiful hotel in Hawaii! It has a private beach and a wonderful staff. It is very relaxing.thank you!!

Great stay

Staff was amazing but hotel is old and tired .

It is definitely a 5 star hotel and resort. Well worth the cost.

The property was everything we had hoped it would be and more. Every single staff member was genuinely kind and helpful. We will absolutely be returning. The food was delicious.. the rooms were gorgeous.. and the accessibility to the private beach was perfection.

Good location and good staff

From the moment you step into the lobby, the atmosphere feels calm, elegant, and unhurried. Every member of the staff we encountered was warm, gracious, and genuinely attentive, making our stay feel effortless from beginning to end. Dining was exceptional. Plumeria’s breakfast buffet offers an excellent variety of high-quality options. The Seaside Grill is perfect for a casual lunch by the pool or beach, with delicious food and refreshing cocktails. Alan Wong’s is an excellent choice for a special occasion, but Arancino was our family’s favorite. The pasta was outstanding, and after dining there twice, we only wished we had stayed long enough to try their other offerings. What truly sets The Kahala apart is its tranquility. While many luxury resorts are lively and crowded, The Kahala is a peaceful retreat where the sound of the ocean replaces the noise of the crowds. Whether relaxing on the lanai, walking the beautiful grounds, or enjoying the beach, there’s an unmistakable sense of serenity that allows you to completely unwind. The Kahala has become our family’s favorite hotel and will be our first choice whenever we return to Oahu. It is the very definition of quiet luxury, and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

Amazing stay by the beach

We love the hotel as it was in the quiet part of town. Secluded and quiet. The beach is behind some corals/rocks so the waves never reach the shore. This is perfect for little kids or adults that want calm waters. Service was amazing and the restaurants within the property are all delicious. We stayed in the dolphin villas and seeing them play around while we sip coffee in our balcony was a one of my favorite daily routines. The hotel shows its age in some very small areas like hall way carpeting but that is just me nitpicking. This is our new favorite hotel in Oahu and we will definitely choose the Kahala Hotel every time we come back.

Very good

Excellent staff and facilities. Pool and restaurant services were top notch. Friendly and helpful at every turn. A little limited with options for morning coffee and sunset cocktails. Dolphin pool was entertaining and educational. Very peaceful alternative to downtown Waikiki.

Superb

Great hotel all around staff room amenities location very quiet and peaceful great for couples and family

The hotel has a lot of classic charm and is positioned on a beautiful stretch of beach. The staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. We had a top floor oceanfront room and the view was, as you can imagine, beautiful. The spa was also top tier. The pool area is small and quite busy. There’s no adults-only pool so be prepared for splashing from kids doing cannonballs and similar activities.

Very helpfully staff, clean amenities, and beautiful beach.

It is always a wonderful stay at the great dame of Hawaii. It is always difficult to leave the islands.

Great job at the way this property is maintained

Attention to detail, friendly staff makes you feel like family. Amazing location, room was fantastic and the beach is beautiful. Peaceful tranquility. Nothing it was all up to par. From when you enter through the valet to when you check-in, the pool guys. Everyone is so friendly there is nothing to not like.
