Kahala Resort definitely lived up to the glowing reviews I read before booking. I found the resort to be well maintained, the grounds and pool were gorgeous and spent a fair share of my time just relaxing and taking in the beauty of the area. The staff are exceptional and will treat you like family and really the cornerstone to why Kahala is a place I will be staying again in the future.

Vey nice quiet property with its own beach, away from the crowds of Waikiki, but easy access to nearby neighborhoods. Beat to have a rental car if you stay here since it is in an isolated area of Honolulu. Fantastic place to stay!

Nice resort however a bit away from shopping eating and tours- you need a car to go around the island-
