My family and I had a wonderful stay at this resort, which offered a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. The beach is pristine and well-maintained, providing a great environment for all ages. Our accommodations were spacious and had lovely views, but I found the dining experience to be quite disappointing, especially during busy times. Overall, it's a fantastic place for families, but they need to improve on service during peak hours.

The Kahala Resort offers a serene escape with stunning ocean views and excellent service from the staff. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, although a bit traditional in style. Dining options are mixed; while some restaurants provide fantastic meals, others fall short, particularly during busy times. Overall, it's a wonderful place for a peaceful family vacation, but be prepared for a few dining hiccups.

Our stay was truly exceptional, tucked away from the hustle of downtown but still close enough for quick trips into the city. The resort offered a serene environment with stunning views. The rooms were spacious and clean, and we loved the unique experience of seeing dolphins right from our terrace. However, the air conditioning was a bit temperamental during our stay, which was somewhat inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was truly rejuvenating. Nestled away from the busyness of Waikiki, the location offered serene beach views and well-kept grounds. The rooms, while comfortable and spacious, showed signs of age, which detracted slightly from the luxury experience I was hoping for. The staff consistently went above and beyond in their service, but the dining options left a little to be desired, especially regarding breakfast prices. Overall, a peaceful retreat perfect for families.
