I've been visiting and staying at the Kahala for most of my life. As a local born and raised on Oahu, I've seen this resort go through a number of ownership changes, but one thing has remained consistent, the world class level of service and hotel accommodations. My latest stay this past weekend was a solid 5 star experience from start to finish. The associates at the front desk were always helpful, polite, and kind. My room was immaculate and the housekeeping did an amazing job of keeping the room impeccable throughout my stay. My wife and I got married here in 2005 and we continue to come back to this amazing resort. Mahalo to everyone at the Kahala for a job well done!

I’ve been coming here since it was the Kahala Hilton. Not much has changed. The rooms are very large and comfortable. This time we stayed in the dolphin wing on the second floor with an ocean view. The staff are polite and friendly and eager to please. Arancini Italian restaurant is excellent,but reservations are a must, as is the new Alan Wong restaurant. Plumeria has a huge buffet breakfast. My only criticism is that the breads should be upgraded. The staff was great. The beach is calm and as warm as the pool. There were never issues with getting chairs or towels. Some cabinets in the rooms need a paint touch up as well as some of the stairway railings. I love this hotel because it is not in the middle of Waikiki. I always feel I’m home here

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.
