Disappointed for the price of the stay. Was expecting to be blown away by the experience of staying there but the main draw of the hotel is really the beach which is public. Pool bar food was maybe some of the worst hotel food I’ve ever had. $80 for a cold grilled cheese, box of gross chips with salsa and some fish tacos that were unflavored and covered in mayo type sauce. You’re pretty much stuck at the resort without a car so have to Uber out or schedule the shuttle far in advance to get out. Would stay in Waikiki and Uber to this beach next time and skip staying or eating here all together. The beach itself is perfect for kids but the resort itself is not kid friendly.

First time visiting Hawaii and loved the location, away from the crazy busy Waikiki area. The staff at resort were friendly and helpful. Loved our view of the lagoon with the dolphins.

The quiet atmosphere was appreciated! Lovely friendly staff. Pool area is too limited. People coming to pool area and securing chairs then disappearing for hours!😩 food choices are also too loud and some closed two days a week!

The property is located in a tranquil location, which is unique. However, we are moderately disappointed. 1. The unforeseen 2am false alarm during our stay was anything but a pleasant experience.
2. The facility is in desperate need of modernization and refurbishment.
3. The breakfast menu lacks diversity, as it merely mirrors the offerings available on the buffet, but at a notably higher price point. One might reasonably question why this redundant option is even offered separately.
4. Despite being labeled as "family-friendly," there is a noticeable lack of facilities catering to children. Only a small baby pool and dolphins. This oversight is frankly disappointing.
5. The parking lot does not provide an elevator to the lobby, posing an inconvenience for guests with heavy luggage or mobility challenges.

Rooms need some upgrade. The carpets are dirty and stained. We also asked for an upgrade for our room or giving a room on upper level but the only option that was available had 400$ differences per night. So basically there was no option provided to us.

This was our second stay at The Kahala. The hotel is calming and serene. Fabulous service and old-world charm. The beach and pool area are beautiful, and staff are always friendly and accommodating. Perhaps there could be an increase in availability at food at night especially given the hotels distance from the main strip. Of course, the gorgeous dolphins are lovely and a treat!

It was another great stay. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms, the cleaning, and the staff in all areas. It is nice to be welcomed with hospitality. This is a heavenly hotel no matter how many times we come back and we plan to visit again this year. I don't know of a nicer hotel.

The hotel is showing its age especially in the bathroom tiles. The dolphins are incredible to see, it is sad they are confined too such a small area.

Beautiful property, great beach and warm heated pool, dolphins fun to watch and all staff friendly and exceptional service, Stephanie Oona, in pool cafe area was especially helpful. She gave my autistic son her can of diet coke for our room fridge afterI asked her if there was any convenience store at hotel to buy soda or other beverages (no there is not--very inconvenient and my one complaint.)

We love everything about The Kahala. It’s our #1 favorite place to vacation and meets all our needs. It is luxurious and wonderful and relaxing and beautiful and just the very best. We love it so much we’re spending next Christmas there! Can’t wait!!!!

Great service, but property needs updating

The food at this restaurant is terrible by and large, and extremely expensive. The buffets are not refreshed often enough, meaning the food is cold and congealed. Unfortunately, there are no restuarants off property that accessible without a van ride or Uber into Waikiki, about 15 minutes.

As usual the service was great, especially the cleaning staff. The rooms had some wear, but was very clean. This hotel is great for couples and groups of adults. I wouldn’t recommend this resort for visitors with children.

We booked the Mountain View and got upgraded to a walk out balcony Mountain View room. The bed was so comfortable we had a great sleep each night.
No extra result fee was a bonus. If you can afford it definitely stay at this hotel.
Getting to see the dolphins and hear their stories was pretty amazing.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Nespresso coffee machine in the room with refills of pods every day as well as water bottles, the hotel also has water bottle refill stations.
Even though it is some distance away from a lot of things the hotel has many restaurants and 24 hour room service, there is a whole foods and a market not too far away at all. It was nice to be away from the chaos and being right on the water was amazing.
Will definitely stay at this place again.
