Very nice Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet at The Kahala was amazing! The variety was simply enormous, including a fresh omelet station that satisfied everyone in our family. It truly set a wonderful tone for the day ahead and was definitely not your average hotel breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was filled with both wonderful moments and some disappointments. While the staff made my experience truly special with their attentive service, the rooms felt dated and in need of renovation. The location offered a peaceful escape from the busy areas, yet I had expected a more modern experience for the price. Dining was fantastic, but the overall value for the cost is something to consider.

I had a wonderful stay at this historic hotel away from the busy Waikiki beach. The private beach was perfect for relaxation, and the staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. The room was large and comfortable, but the carpets could use an update. Overall, it was a great value for a cozy getaway, but be prepared for some noise from the parking garage.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location is perfect for those seeking a quieter retreat away from Waikiki, the rooms felt a bit outdated and not quite up to the 5-star standard.

Overall, a relaxing stay but with some room for improvement.

The Kahala Hotel & Resort is an ideal blend of elegance and tranquility, nestled conveniently away from the bustling areas of Honolulu. The spacious oceanfront rooms with beautiful views were a standout, and the attentive service made us feel truly special during our stay. The dining experience was delightful with a range of options, though the breakfast buffet was a highlight that filled us up for hours. However, a slightly higher price tag is expected given the luxury setting.
