Kahaluu Bay Holidays from £1,272

The house is nicely furnished, great layout, and tidy looking, but desperately needs a deep cleaning. The stairs railing alone is evident of this when you first walk in, but also the edges of the carpet have debris. So just a bare minimal type of cleaning is happening. The house was overall empty during our stay, so no real reason for things not being cleaned or maintained. There's cameras not just outside but inside too. I don't recall that being disclosed. Not that we mind but others might and accuracy in listing is important. While it was quiet and safe, it definitely wasn't worth the price. I thought this would be a great surprise splurge for my partner's birthday. It was not. The custom spa tub which has tiles broken and pitched up on the literal seat area of one of the seats. Unless you enjoy broken tiles wedged in your posterior, that's a no for us, it also means the tiles are no longer sealed therefore cannot be properly sanitized. Ew. See pics.

My husband and I enjoyed the secure building, ample parking, the pool, and the beach next door with shops and restaurants just down the street. Leilani the property manager was attentive and friendly.

Beautiful property with perfect beach location. Nice pool, friendly staff and we also liked the evening shuttle for dinner to Mauna Kea hotel.

Beautiful resort - peaceful beach, quiet rooms, multiple options for relaxing in the sun and/or shade and accessing water for a cool dip. The Canoe restaurant is absurdly overpriced. A glass of cab wine for $38 and standard cocktails at $27? We easily hit $450 after tip for two people. Good luck finding an ice machine - one per floor and hidden away in a staff only closet. The beach scene is wonderful - as was the beach waitstaff. The early morning water excursions were great. Skip the Luau - it felt like a large format wedding tucked back behind the hotel away from the water/no view of the sunset. However, if you really want the luau experience, pay up for the VIP tickets for superior seating and open bar.

I would recommend it to others
