Our family has been going to this hotel for over 30 years, and while it is a little beat up, it is a great hotel, and usually a wonderful experience, usually! What we were treated to is days of intense jack hammering and construction that could be heard all over the property, including in your room. This was done 9am... More

We booked through Expedia, got a great deal, were pleasantly surprised at the luxuriousness and quality of the Kahala. Rooms were lovely, private beach is lovely, service is extremely attentive and solicitous. Location is well away from the noise and traffic of Waikiki but close enough to Honolulu that all the great restaurants and other attractions are easily accessible by... More

We were originally due to stay here for a week - so glad we didn't - changed hotels (to the Four Seasons on Maui - luxury!) after 3 nights we had to stay without losing our deposit. Our room - it was tired and had seen better days. TV was mounted onto a side wall as if an after thought... More

Top luxury hotel in secluded quiet location just a short ride to Honolulu private beach. Wonderful open air breakfast buffet. We stayed here twice it used to be a Mandarin Oriental. It changed management has slipped a little in service and wear but still very high quality. There are nicer resorts on other islands but if you have to stay... More

Heavy construction with all day jackhammering on veranda area weekdays and weekends with no sound barrier. No warning on web site. Heard rumor pool deck and pool itself next. Staff and food good as always but place seemed dingy and stingy; beautiful lobby flower arrangement gone, worn carpets with stains, stained lanai furniture with holes. Also pool heater not working...

This hotel is in the perfect location. Picturesque. We watched the sunrise while eating breakfast & it was spectacular. The decor & service were fantastic. The bed was comfortable & uo to date. Very clean. I give this hotel 4.5 stars. Only disappointment was the recommendation from the concierge for dinner off property. Wasn't worth the trip. More

We have been coming here for years and have always thought that the Kahala set the bar for outstanding customer service. I dont know if it was new management or what, but the quality and service have really gone down hill. My wife and I came over for an 8 day visit and ended up changing hotels because we were... More

My husband and I started going to the Kahala on our honeymoon and go back about once a year. We love the privacy, luxury, and slower place while still being so close to the action of Waikiki. I even went alone this year when just needing a week get away. Love their breakfast buffet near the beach. Wonderful food at... More

This is a most elegant and peaceful hotel. The customer service can't be beat. The rooms are clean and well organized. It's a tad bit seculde from Waikiki, but that's the point. You definitevely need a car. The Kahala mall is a 5 minute drive away. The hotel's private beach is fantastic. There are dolphins in the hotel and you... More
