My husband and I stayed at The Kahala for a business trip which happened to fall on our 1st wedding anniversary. After a long drive from the Honolulu airport, we arrived at the hotel, which is in a very beautiful, secluded, and upscale residential area of Honolulu. The lobby area was fabulous!! Huge windows with sweeping views of the pool... more

If you aren't blown away by this hotel then you really need to stay home because you won't be happy any where. This resort is exceptional in terms of rooms, service and ammenities and the extra touches. Yes it is expensive...very expensive in fact and yes the dining options are silly high priced, but if you go there knowing you... more

Our stay at the Kahala Resort at Oahu, Hawaii was a vacation to remember! We were greeted by personable staff, presented leis, and escorted to our Dolphin Lanai suite. The well-appointed room overlooked the Dolphin Lagoon, home of the Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins. The beds were exquisite and I loved the deep soaking tub. The "above and beyond" amenities and service... more

We stayed at the Kahala for 5 nights in May, after having been at a conference in Waikiki. My husband stayed here a few years ago, when it was a Mandarin. I very much agree with a lot of the previous reviews--that in general it's a pretty property, and the staff is nice, but it is definitely not a 5... more

My family and I stayed at the Kahala Hotel and Resort for the first time and for our entire stay of five days, we were pampered like royalty. As soon as we arrived in the driveway we were greeted by name and immediately felt like every one knew us. Mr.Tim Lee the resort manager greeted us personally on arrival and... more

Enjoyed the Kahala and, for the area, the best place to stay. We wanted a relaxing resort outside Honolulu. The rooms are freshly renovated and tastefully appointed. The bathroom is perfect for sharing with two large and separate vanity areas. There are no bad views. The public areas are gorgeous, unique and well-maintained. The only problem with my stay was... more

We spent six nights at the Kahala Hotel and Resort and loved every minute of it. The staff was superb, very friendly and always willing to help with anything. The room was large, the bed was amazing, and the bathroom had two vanities and two closets on opposite ends (so I didn't have to share with my husband). We also... more

We recently stayed at the Kahala for 4 nights and were a little unsure on how good the hotel would be after reading a few negative comments but i have to say we were very pleased with the standard of the room and the friendliness of the staff. We had a recently renovated suite with a part ocean view which... more

We were very pleased with the room and the excellent and friendly service we received from staff . The beach is lovely, well cared for and the setting is delightful. We... more

The setting is lovely, and the staff could not be nicer. Really. They seem genuinely glad that you're there, not just the fake smile kind. Engaging, friendly, appropriate...just delightful. If I were the management, I'd be proud of them. The welcome lei is a nice touch, as are the cool towels. Rooms are large, as are the bathrooms, so overall... more
