The Kahala is a special place. The service is amazing and it is such a relaxing environment. The rooms are beautiful and I love the bathroom with two separate vanities. The beach is calm and beautiful and you can swim there for hours. And the dolphins are just so cool

The room was gorgeous! Bravo for the elevated and tasteful decor. The exterior does need a little facelift here and there as it is an older hotel, but there is a "classic," old Hawaii charm about it. Bell Attendant was a bit pushy when we did not let him take our bags before check in - asking repeatedly - when guaranteed check in was only 30min out. Other than that, the staff at the Veranda was so nice and cheerful and dinner at Arancino was amazing. This is a great option to stay outside of Waikiki.

We love the hotel as it was in the quiet part of town. Secluded and quiet. The beach is behind some corals/rocks so the waves never reach the shore. This is perfect for little kids or adults that want calm waters. Service was amazing and the restaurants within the property are all delicious. We stayed in the dolphin villas and seeing them play around while we sip coffee in our balcony was a one of my favorite daily routines. The hotel shows its age in some very small areas like hall way carpeting but that is just me nitpicking. This is our new favorite hotel in Oahu and we will definitely choose the Kahala Hotel every time we come back.
