The Kahala Hotel and Resort, Hawaii

Behind of Diamondhead Mountain There are few Luxuries House area. In the middle of there, kahala hotel & resort was located. In front of hotel resort, The kahala beach as private & For only Hotel guests pool is so good. This Boutique Hotel with italian restaurant, beach cafe, restaurant, Fusion French restaurant & loung cafe are high quality interiors & nice foods & drinks & hotel staffs high-end services & professional !!!. I will stay in here only when I visiting Honolulu.

A few walking people around pool & resort garden, it is uncomfortable.

The ambience and quality of service is exceptional, we love that it is not in Waikiki. We were celebrating our anniversary and got a bottle of champagne comped each night! One of the nights we got a cupcake as well- very delicious!

Our toilet was not fully functional when we arrived and after the first night I had to call it in (it was fixed very quickly though!). The drapes were — tattered. Although I didn’t notice this till the second day, so you can see it didn’t get in the way of anything, it was a tad startling that the room was not absolutely ship shape — at the price— but neither of these things stopped us from enjoying the view and the beautiful place.

Loved taking bikes out for a ride to diamond head and the dolphins

Extra charges for parking

Location and staff

Rooms can have a bit refurbishing

Breakfast is quiet expensive :( And car parking cost 50$/day !!!

The beach and the pool right next to each other and the 24/7 fitness center is outstanding

Italian restaurant is a rip off. I was sick after I ate there.

excellent location. great beach in front of the hotel, non crowded. Close to waikiki restaurants and shop with complimentary shuttle from hotel.

Restaurant and breakfast price too expensive without many other options on site.

Excellent beach & staff; beautiful views; excellent amenities.

Quiet beach, short ride to restaurants and shopping

Location

Friendliest staff. Great location by the beach

Always a sanctuary in Oahu

Dolphin rooms being remodeled

The hotel is clearly luxurious. The dolphin attraction was very surprising and wonderful.

For me, I don’t need that much luxury so it isn’t value for money for me. The food was very expensive. The location was distant from Waikiki centre which is relaxing but a barrier to sightseeing and eating elsewhere. The pool is quite small really, and it would be better if the dolphin lagoon was for swimming. For me, if I came again, I would stay in Waikiki.

Beautiful beach. Better than most I was told by locals. Very environmentally conscious. Heated pool (great when it’s a tad too cool in February). The food and view at the Beach Grill. Also, tried the Plumeria restaurant and again the view the food everything was great.

Nothing.

pricy and swiming pool is full all day specialy the lovely quite kids :-)

All good

Clean, quiet and private.

Male cleaning attendant entered women’s jacuzzi room to replace towel.

Everything about the resort was very nice and guest friendly. They have ample of pool space and long Beach where guest cab enjoy and have a good time.

Nothing noteworthy. I just loved the place.

This is the be-all, end-all of Honolulu hotels. A gorgeous setting that's close to everything you want to do in the city, but feels a world away. Friendly and attentive staff are there to help you with any needs.

Pool menu could have had some more interesting healthy options, or even some Hawaiian cuisine. I'd rather have poke by the pool than nachos, but maybe that's just me!

The amazing view

They don’t have airport shuttle

great location

could do with another swimming pool chairs not comfortable on beach

Who saved our stay is only one employee, your name is Robert from Vallet Park. It’s because we was on honeymoon and ask for a king bed room, but nobody from frontdesk or concierge was sensible, just Robert help us and he is very friendly much more that all other superior employees

Beautiful grounds, private beach, clean, comfortable. The staff was amazing and the room was well stocked. The location was also perfectly located outside of the business of Waikiki. The dolphins were a lovely touch.

Great little beach away from the busy Waikiki beach Nice hotel very clean and very friendly staff. Quiet and relaxing stay

Quiet location away from the chaos of Waikiki.

$50 parking a day? I wish that was more clearly communicated by the booking.com website. That part felt a bit sneaky after amount paid for everything upfront.

The hotel lobby is gorgeous, the scent of the hotel is wow! We loved the restaurants and the hotel staff is one of the best.

The rooms were not so updated. You can see that there’re things in the room that have been replaced or upgraded, but for example in the bathroom the cabinets, marble and paint are from years ago.

I had a few special requests regarding check in and check out times and they were well managed.

Nothing.

The breakfast was great, room service meals were ok. The location was awesome, staff were great

Room service chicken salad was terrible.

It was very clean and nice. Staff were very friendly and responsive to requests.

The beach was beautiful with plenty of chairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food on site was delicious.

The room we had was spacious and comfortable but could probably use a little updating.

Resort was beautiful! Location was a dream, beautiful pool area and beach. I couldn't have wished for something better! Loved the dolphins and the breakfast buffet was incredible.

The resort double charged me which caused some aggravation. I also requested flowers and balloons for my daughter's birthday and it wasn't a super smooth experience. Everything was fixed and the flowers were delivered, but it was a bit stressful the day of arrival.

Your employee rob Bergman was a gentleman and very kind

Nothing it was great

Perfect location!

Proximity to beach and staff

Far from other restaurants and things to do

Location, staff and amenities

I liked the location of the room.

Nothing I didn't like

excellent, we will be there again

Room need update

We had a package with breakfast buffet included. Loved it. Very good selection of food for everyone for the price.

Parking is not free.

The chandelier was pretty. We liked the beach and the hot pool.

The location, the service and the confort

The dolphins in captivity

Exquisite beach with excellent beach & poolside service

Not a thing

I loved the beach front and the pontoon to swim to - lovely swimming spot. Lovely pool side staff. The musician in the evenings was a definite plus and set the ambience just right for pre dinner or dinner. He was very good. Was it Johnny Valentine?

I think a map of the hotel with all the access points to the garden and beach front would be useful. Not a fan of heated toilet seats in summer. When I arrived all the valets were busy or they ignored me when I stepped out of my cab as I only had 2 carry on luggage and a yoga mat. It would be polite to greet all guests upon arrival and I had to find my way to reception- not so straight forward.

Fried ahi musubi is the best!

Nothing

Breakfast ok View great

The front desk management was quite annoying No appologies for mistaken credits. No feadback on drunk person with a non lease dog in the aisle.

location, beauty, comfort, staff, restaurants.

nothing.

Beautiful property with great amenities.

Location is remote from many tourist spots which can be either a plus or minus depending on the type of vacation you want.

luxurious resort

none!

The Kahala is a wonderful hotel. The beach is peaceful and quiet. The ocean is gentle here. Perfect for children or non-swimmers. The room is large and the bathroom is luxurious. The employees were all friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the dolphin lagoon.

I only had one minor complaint that the toiletries were all made in China.

Beach is a bit crowded

I liked the Jacoulets in the hallway. Lobby was beautiful.

Rooms were dated with worn furnishing (but this seems common in Oahu). I mainly stayed there for the beachfront access, but the beach itself was a bit disappointing. It seemed like the sand was a thin layer on some sort of hard surface
