Kahala Resort definitely lived up to the glowing reviews I read before booking. I found the resort to be well maintained, the grounds and pool were gorgeous and spent a fair share of my time just relaxing and taking in the beauty of the area. The staff are exceptional and will treat you like family and really the cornerstone to why Kahala is a place I will be staying again in the future.

There was an exorbitant $55 a day charge simply to park in the garage, as well as a $10 fee for room service. Tip was already added on the room service ticket, unbeknownst to my husband, who ended up double tipping. Felt very nickel and dimed.

i have stayed at the kahala several times over a few decades and i feel like the property is getting tired and needs a refurbishment. It feels dated. I was told my room was newly refurbished and i guess it must have been really bad before because it didn’t feel all that different from previous stays. It doesn’t feel like a five star resort.

WAS one of the best...

Second time there... I had the Dolphin Lanai. Leaky pipe on lanai. Flickering bulb in room. Asked to be replaced. Didn't happen. I was asked several times if I had a room there. Didn't hear anyone else get asked. For example - there was a line for lounge chairs. Couple of people in front of me and no one asked them if they were guest. But soon as I walked up I was asked! Phones don't work but they charged you for them anyways! Wallpapers peeling off! 60 years its been around. Maybe it should retire early! Staying at Turtle Bay next time! Way better and newer facilities. Also was made to sit at the bar to eat because we didn't have a reservation even though there were empty tables...? Seems like certain people aren't treated well there!

Wow , our two week stay at the Kahala hotel was one we will always cherish. The hotel is immaculate and gorgeous. The chandeliers in the lobby look like they are made from beautiful sea glass , and every plant inside and outside is lush and maintained . The staff is so kind and welcoming . Shoutout to Randy the server from Plumeria and Carolynn from the front desk! Located on a private beach you can walk all the way down and find sea shells , we even saw a turtle and a monk seal! The pool and hot tub is 24 hours so definitely take advantage. I recommend renting a car if you want to go to other beaches such as Waikīkī (10-15 min easy drive) , and the valet at Kahala is helpful and efficient . We had no issues . Overall I would come back to Kahala hotel and resort again.

Forget this overpriced resort if you plan to swim in the pool! I spent three nights at this property and could not use the only pool at all since it was monopolized by kids the entire day until 7.00 pm!! They have no limited kids hours policy. Further, the dining in options are limited to an independent run Italian restaurant and a high priced French restauran and Lobby area, with the main restaurant being open two days a week (Tuesdays. and Thursdays). Also, the hotel shuttle bus to Waikiki only operates twice daily so most days you have to pay an Uber $30 to drive you there. They also don’t serve meals/drinks on the beach area and you have walk to the Beach restaurant near the pool. Service was generally good, with the exception of the Concierge who could rarely be found!
