The Kahala Hotel & Resort

Great hotel and resort. It is a little bit far from Waikiki, and there are no sidewalks to walk to the Kahala mall. So you will need a car. We used the shuttle to travel to Ala Moana and Waikiki, and it was very convenient and easy to get back and forth. We were able to save on parking fees at the hotel. They have a rental car option right in the lobby, so you can rent the car for one or two days. The room is excellent. The staff are great. The beach is amazing. It is a great place to stay.

It was honestly one of the best resorts I’ve stayed at and I don’t say it that much, every staff member was very attentive and respectful which is what made the experience more enjoyable.

Nostalgic Treasure, long live the Queen 60 plus years of treasured memories. The joy and excitement from faces all over the world says enough, staff keep's the memories alive and well. Flora, Jock, Levi, Yoyo.....keep up the good work!! Long Live Queen Kahala!!

My wife and I have stayed here about 5 times in the last 4 years and were gifted a Staycation weekend by our son and daughter-in-law. The reservation was for a two bed room (due to my "alleged" snoring) with a balcony, but instead we were assigned a single King bed room. We tried to call the front desk before bringing in our luggage, but the phone died (room 622). Even the bellman bringing our luggage could not get the phone to work - suspect the battery was dying. When we returned to the front desk to get the room we reserved, the clerk was unusually "cool" as we have always had such great service and when his colleague asked what was the problem, told his colleague "the guest is not happy with the room". The CORRECT response would be the guest is not happy with the WRONG room provided. This is a small point, but is definitively uncharacteristic of the service we had experienced in the past. The clerk did provide us an upgraded ocean view room but WITHOUT a balcony as requested in the reservation. We went for a cocktail at the Plumeria bar and we treated, and entertained, well by Aaron and Steve. When going to the pool area with our son, daughter-in-law (who gifted us this Staycation weekend) and two grandkids (age 3 and 5), we were told ONLY registered guests were allowed poolside and our son and his family would have to remain on the public beach. Fortunately, Jock at the front desk said there was only one person listed for our room despite registering two of us staying in the room, but was able to get everyone "registered" so we could all enjoy the pool. He mentioned the poolside database was not the same as his, which may have contributed to the issue of only one guest in our room - and said to tell the pool attendants to call the front desk if there was any problem. . Despite relaying the pool attendants all this information, we were approached at least FIVE times by different attendants asking if we were guests of the hotel. Once they asked that we allow a red wristband on the 5 year old grandson. The fifth person finally said with the upcoming shift change, he recommended all of us wear a red wristband. Not sure why the hotel simply doesn't issue red wristbands at check-in with a request we wear them poolside. We did order food from the poolside bar, and as before really enjoyed the Kahala burger and fries (excellent fries). A club sandwich was also very tasty. Despite all this, the hotel remains a favorite of ours and we will return!

Spent four nights here for a wedding and had such a fabulous time. Staff is an absolute delight, the rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and service was great. The Bride and Groom had a stellar wedding and we had a great time. Location is perfection and will love coming back at some point!
