The Kahala Hotel & Resort

My sister and I purchased a Day pass here at the Kahala last week after not having been here since 2005l Its still beautiful, but the huge beautiful tree that shaded the main lobby is gone😕, such a beautiful tree,, very sad to see that. We used the pool it felt great. But it is small and definitely needs work, and soon! The concrete edges are crumbling, tile needs work, and you could also look up at the building and see that it really needs to be repainted. It is a blue color. But it's faded and streaking. We ordered a couple different drinks, for $20 a drink, at least add a flower to it and a nice cup. For a hotel this expensive, I would expect more. Kind of disappointed to see it has declined over the years. Glad I only spent money on the day pass, as it is way too expensive for what you get.

The first time I drove up the drive, I felt like I had slipped into another era, one where Palm Springs (CA) was the place to be to mix with the Rat Pack crowd. The ocean views walking into the lobby are breathtaking. From the valets, to the guest services staff, to the housekeeping, restaurants and bar, and outdoor staff, the service was impeccable and authentically warm. The food in the restaurants was amazing. I get the same feelings and the same service each visit. This time, I got to experience my birthday at Alan Wong's - fantastic food, fantastic people, fantastic service, one of a kind ambience and view. It is a piece of heaven in heaven. I hope to visit again soon.

Beautiful week in a fabulous resort that exceeded all expectations. Great service, location, staff & restaurants.

Leslie was great, it was special day for me and it made is very especially by giving a great massage and facial. She knew all the sore areas and worked on them. I felt totally relaxed after the massage. She was great!

The Kahala is about 20 minutes from Waikiki but it feels words away. It is situated on a cove that is mostly quiet . Service and traditional elegance are A Plus. We were greeted with cold towels and leis upon check in. Staff upgraded us to a very large lagoon view room that overlooked Dolphin Cove. It was a pleasure to watch them daily. (They are a part of the Dolphin Quest Program). Rooms have Nespresso coffee makers and all kinds of amenities. We went to three restaurants on property all were great. Valet and self parking are the same rate. This hotel is a bit off the beaten path. An historic golf course is next door along with many high end homes. Because of the golf course green parrots abound. If you don’t need to be in the hustle bustle this gem of a hotel is for you.
