Honolulu Beach Holidays

Great place very close to the beach and restaurants

Wonderful location and fantastic scenery

Location and the beach!!! The best

Amazing hotel with amazing service. All the staff were great and very kind. Free icepops by the pool everyday at 2:30!

We enjoyed the beach proximity. However the conditions of the hotel did not match its prestige image. Aside from finding our pillows were dirty—smudged with dirty—we would often be bothered by noise coming from the pipes under the sink. It was loud, unexpected and often went off late at night. Staff were friendly and the views from the hotel were good. The elevators were also tricky, not enough space for the amount people coming in and out, took a lot of time to get down from the 3rd floor, elevators were very full and busy.

It makes me sad to leave this beautiful, peaceful place. The Kahala is certainly one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at—at least recently. From the valet staff to the front desk to the servers and housekeepers, the Kahala provides excellent and friendly service. The location is convenient—close enough to Waikiki, diamond head, and other tourist spots but not too close to the noise and crowds. Our view was fantastic—we had a spacious balcony overlooking the pristine golf course next door and the mountains. Our room was spacious and incredibly comfortable. The Plumeria was great and there were a handful of other restaurants but I do wish they had more lunch and brunch options as a lot of them opened only for dinner. Their beach was also wonderful—calm and incredibly relaxing, providing plenty of space to reflect and take in the amazing ocean views. I certainly would want to come back and stay here again should I come back to town!

This property badly needs a major upgrade in terms of furniture, carpet/flooring, restrooms, hallways, bathrooms. Royal Hawaiian provides excellent service and amenities that speak of luxury, however, everything appears so shabby and dated. The Azure restaurant should consider changing chefs as the food in the fixed menu dinner was not good. Valet and guest services are excellent. But tipping becomes very costly.
