One of the best experiences in hotel lodging I’ve been able to enjoy. Finer than hotels in Europe, with service unmatched in any island or beach destination. Definitely will be back. Their concierge and front desk staff were incredible accommodating to any request. Thank you to all staff, especially Danny at the pool bar.

The dolphins were the icing on the cake .. I hope to spend more time at this resort when I visit Hawaii again

We booked an ocean view room. The photo on line did not show that you look down on top of the hotel and parking entrance/lot. A bit misleading. Furniture in room a bit hard and bed a bit too firm. The room itself was very nice. Service was excellent. The grounds are gorgeous. I would not stay on that side of the hotel again however. Dolphins were amazing to watch.

Second time staying. Great location, beautiful stretch of private beach. Get the impression the staff could be a little more attentive. Waiting staff morale seems low. Basic asks feel like too much work for them. On the plus side the room is comfortable and quiet but could do with a bit of updating. Feels a bit tired. AC in the hotel blasts far far too cold, imagine how much energy could be saved if they just set it at the right temperature. Poolside dining options could use some work.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
