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 While the location is perfect for those seeking a quieter retreat away from Waikiki, the rooms felt a bit outdated and not quite up to the 5-star standard. The service was excellent, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. Dining options were both a hit and miss; I loved some meals but found added costs a bit steep. Overall, a relaxing stay but with some room for improvement.

I had an incredible time at the resort, which feels like a peaceful oasis away from the bustling Waikiki. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, truly a great spot for relaxation. The dining options were very good, and I especially loved the theme dinners. However, the pool area could use more attention to keep it cozy and inviting. Overall, it's a beautiful place but has some room for improvement in certain areas.

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.
