The Kahala Hotel offered a lovely stay with stunning ocean views from our rooms and a well-done breakfast buffet that had a great variety. The staff treated us like family with thoughtful touches, like a signed birthday card. While the location is perfect for escaping the hustle of Waikiki, it can be a bit crowded at times. Overall, it's a beautiful place for a getaway, though there were some minor inconveniences with larger events happening during our stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which boasted a beautiful view of the Sony Championship Golf course and came with lovely lanais. The rooms were clean and had a charming old-fashioned feel to them, although they could benefit from a little modernization. The service was outstanding – the staff was friendly and incredibly accommodating. The location was peaceful and picturesque, just outside Honolulu, making it perfect for my needs. On the downside, dining was pricey, so be prepared for that. Overall, it was a great value for money.
