A hidden gem 💎💎💎💎💎 I don’t give out a lot of five star reviews but Kahala earned it. What we loved about it the most was it felt very private, wasn’t crowded, and was quiet and calming. Pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and welcoming overall and the rates were good. Restaurant food was consistently good quality and easy to get a table. The one consideration for tourists is the location which is not in the Waikiki area but that’s what makes it so private. It’s a classic hotel that won’t disappoint. Will go back again

Comfortable rooms that are well appointed, great proximity to dolphin experience and the beach is just a short walk away. Services/restaurants end early, and no self serve options in lieu.
