If you're looking for a hotel that's mere minutes from Waikiki, but far enough away from all the madness, Kahala is it. The rooms are stunning (they recently completed full renovations), the grounds are spectacular (there's really nothing quite like a secluded beach), and the staff is welcoming and accommodating. I really can't say enough good things about Kahala. Definitely... more

Stunning!

This hotel was amazing from the moment we arrived. It is nestled away from the hustle bustle of Oahu but still within close distance to travel to the town centre. The provides free bus service to all guests. We were upgraded for free, and were astounded by the service and the general appearance of the hotel. We even see some... more

My partner and I spent almost two weeks at the Kahala in the middle of September. This was the perfect time to visit. Most of the kids where back in school so the hotel was mostly adults with a few kids. Everything about this hotel is top notch and would meet even the most discriminating travelers tastes. We loved the... more

Beautiful beaches, dolphins, turtles, sunsets and excellent meals sum up this hotel. I enjoyed the secluded beaches, the romantic dinners and the resort grounds filled with turtle and dolphin exhibits. more

My wife and I stayed at the Kahala for the final 4 nights of our honeymoon in late September 2009. There are plenty of positives about the hotel. Its location is a major plus point - away from hustle and bussle of Waikiki and Honolulu, but close enough to get to them quickly and easily, and in a pleasant area... more

Hotel is very friendly and staff is flexible to various requests. Hotel is very clean, bright. All furniture, carpets, mirrors, candleholders and other amenities are in Hawaiian style, combined with the great taste. Despite of high standard of the hotel overall atmosphere is very favorable to guests. It was a great surprise to hear relaxing Hawaiian music when I entered... more

The location is perfect for anybody doesn't want to be bothered by Waikiki's noise, but it's only 5mins away from Waikiki. The private beach is romantic and the service is fantastic. I can't ask for anything more for a romantic gateway. more

We stayed at this hotel for 9 nights as the main part of our honeymoon. Hawaii is simply fantastic and the Kahala is just the place to stay in Hawaii. You are greeted with a cold towel and a lei on arrival. The staff are very helpful. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived and we were shown to the... more

I wanted to wake up in Paradise on my 50th Birthday...and I did at the Kahala Hotel and Resort. From our lei greeting upon arrival to departure, everything was perfect and the service impressive. I wonder if you are/have experienced the same dilemma? My Oahu hotel search left me pulling my hair out. All I found were hotels in Waikiki... more
