We stayed at The Kahala for our honeymoon and had an absolute dream of an experience from the moment we arrived. The resort is gorgeous and peaceful, holding that classic, timeless luxury feel with unbeatable ocean views that made every morning feel surreal. Everything about the stay was fantastic—from seeing the dolphins and enjoying the pristine beach to the incredible room itself. The food, room service, and buffet were all top-notch, and the spa service was simply exquisite. I especially want to give a massive shoutout to Preston. To make sure we were fully taken care of, he actually went out of his way to come in hours ahead of his scheduled shift just to sort out our room situation—showing an extraordinary level of personal dedication, initiative, and hustle that blew us away. He secured us an incredible space with a breathtaking view, proving just how much heart he puts into his work. Employees who consistently outwork and outperform to deliver results like this are the kind of foundational talent every business owner dreams of having run their properties. I also want to sincerely thank Susan for helping me coordinate a special room setup remotely before arrival. She handled every request with absolute precision, nailing every single detail and making our first moments here truly magical. Preston and Susan both poured genuine care into making our honeymoon unforgettable. Exceptional talent like Preston is what drives a world-class reputation and makes you realize certain individuals are primed for major internal growth and bigger responsibilities. Incredible service all around, and we will definitely be back!

We went here for our honeymoon. The room was amazing, balcony view of the ocean and dolphins. Employees were very friendly and welcoming. Food at the breakfast buffet was worth the cost, we went 3 times. The spa was incredible. Not a bad word to say about the hotel.

His warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine desire to make our experience special did not go unnoticed. He made us feel like honored guests every step of the way. Thank you, Preston, and the entire Kahala team for creating such a wonderful and unforgettable birthday experience.

Our stay at The Kahala Hotel & Resort exceeded every expectation and made my birthday unforgettable. The spa was outstanding, the dining and room service were wonderful, and the pool and cabanas were heavenly, with exceptional attention from the Jason and Howard of the pool staff. Preston deserves special recognition: his exceptional service and thoughtful attention to every detail of our stay made us feel truly cared for and special. He has my wholehearted nomination for an exceptional service award. Thank you, Preston and the entire Kahala team, for such a joyful, memorable celebration!
