Review: The Kahala Hotel & Resort
If you're looking to get away from the crowds of Waikiki, but still have easy access to everything Honolulu’s best restaurants, shopping, and sights have to offer - then the Kahala Hotel & Resort is perfect for you!
The Kahala Hotel & Resort is a luxury resort located on the island of Oahu hidden away in Honolulu’s exclusive residential area of Kahala, on the other side of Diamond Head, and only a 10-minute free shuttle ride away from Waikiki.
Arriving at this beautiful resort is an experience that recalls the graceful hospitality of "old Hawaii" with an inviting lobby reminiscent of a plantation manor home - offering designer furnishings and spectacular views through the palm trees to the ocean.
The resort has one of the largest rooms in Hawaii starting 550 square-feet, with his-and-her bathroom vanities and walk-in closets. The newly remodeled guest rooms and suites are spacious and are decorated in an understated Hawaiian style with mahogany furniture.
Mountain view rooms, many with balconies, offer great panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and golf course.
Ocean view and oceanfront offer spectacular panoramic views from Diamond Head to Koko Head Crater.
The resort is perfect for those looking to get away and for families, offering these great amenities:

- White sand beach and pool that is less hectic than what you'll find in Waikiki.
