The Kahala Hotel & Resort

Absolutely amazing resort. Just on the other side of Diamond Head from Honolulu so it is close to everything, but away from the crowds of Waikiki. So quiet and peaceful. It has an amazing beach and reef, but the beach is always empty. The most people we ever saw on it was a group of 5 people. Rooms are great, staff is very friendly and helpful. We had an ocean view lanai room and the view was amazing. Ocean to the front, Coco Head to the left and Diamond Head to the right. The restaurants are wonderful and varied, but they are busy so be sure to make reservations. .

Best spa on the island! I have tried the most recommended ones and this the the one I keep going back to and recommending to others. Even better that it isn’t all the way on the west side. Jamie is so kind and helpful for questions and reservations. They pay attention to your intake form and remember your preferences. Sayuri is an excellent masseuse and aesthetician. I asked for deep pressure but not pain. When she found knots in my shoulders she stretched and moved my shoulders to release the tension rather than painfully going to town on the knot, which takes skill and knowledge of anatomy. My husband had Ryuko as his masseuse he asked for medium pressure and loved his massage. He appreciated her talking through the steps of his facial as well. They also have a great Kama’aina discount and monthly specials.

Spa treatment with Saori was amazing. She was very attentive and very good. Probably one of the best facials I got.

Leslie and Sayuri are the best. First time doing a spa treatment and it was fantastic. Very chill atmosphere, everyone is so kind, every service provided (foot scrub, body scrub, massage, relaxation tub, and facial) were top of the line. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back again.

Sayuri was professional, kind, and so effective. She maintained the “moderate” level of pressure I requested and yet I know the massage was effective because I was just a tad sore later. She opened up muscle tissue that needed attention. I loved the scalp massage and heated eye mask I added on to the 60 minute custom massage. I fell asleep and woke up feeling clearheaded and relaxed. Get the CBD lemongrass. Costs extra but it’s worth it.
