The Kahala Hotel & Resort

Overall, the hotel was great: clean, amazing service, and breathtaking views. There's even a Hertz within the hotel and you can return your car to the valet. Super convenient. The only bitter aftertaste is that I left my newly-bought sunglasses in the car and returned it to Hertz. I went back to Hertz the morning after to retrieve my sunglasses, except that it was nowhere to be found. Hertz person says he had checked the car (specifically the glasses compartment, which I had left it) and it wasn't there. I even called the hotel security if the valet person reported it lost. No success. Moral of the story: don't leave valuable things in your car when checking your car to the valet.

Amazing Resort! I am so glad we picked The Kahala Hotel & Resort for the last leg (4nights/5days) of our honeymoon Hawaii tour. From the arrival at the hotel, check-in, dining options, dolphin quest, pool, beach, to the check-out process, everything was immaculate.The staff was very professional yet personable and friendly. Upon arrival, our room wasn't ready and instead of withholding that info from us, they communicated with us and keep us in the loop till it was ready. The all star in my opinion was the inclusive breakfast package (don't skip out on it if you have the option of getting it). The breakfast buffet had amazing and fresh options and the food items never went stale. I would definitely stay at the Kahala again and again even if it means planning months ahead of time to be able to afford a lot more things at the hotel.

Kahala is a beautiful place but the wild animals they have prisoned in tiny areas made me sick. The locals protest the captive dolphin facility and we were highly recommended to stay elsewhere, as to not support dolphin quest.

Fantastic rooms , views and location, Only disappointed was the person at reception seemed to think I couldn’t afford to pay for my two rooms I booked for my family, staff at dinner kept asking us if we were staying at the resort, on the morning we checked out I was subjected to intense scrutiny whether my Visa cards were mine. I remained calm, the Kahala is a great resort with great staff and service

Great relaxing stay. Sometimes hard to get in for dinner at Italian restaurant on property. Breakfast buffet is amazing! Decor/furniture in main lobby area needs to be updated. There was Hawaiian/hula dancing on Monday evenings. Beach & water are amazing!
