I had an amazing experience at Khala resort. Do wish parents of rowdy kids would follow the pool rules and keep food out of the pools. I did not go in either of the three swimming areas due to loud, unruly children and their aloof caregivers. Luckily, a private beach on the Pacific Ocean is right next to the pool so that is where I took my relaxing dips during my weekend getaway.

Great stay and will be back again!
Limited parking. Getting luggage to check in was interesting. Carried luggage up the stairs and rolled it along the uneven walkway into the hotel. Hotel has nice grounds but clearly dated. Although being beachside does cause endless corrosion. Staff and pleasant and appear to enjoy working there. Check in was quick. Room was very spacious with a nice golf course view. Loved the spacious bathroom and separate tub and shower. Appreciate the recyclable bag and umbrella. Checkout was seamless although I wish they would mention if parked in garage, you’ll be able to exit without the key. Great stay and will definitely stay again. Unable to use the facilities this time. Gym looked a bit too far (isolated) from the main hotel

My stay at the Kahala resort was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is located in a very quiet and established neighborhood. This gives you a feel of privacy and peace. The Kahala takes you away from crowds, noise and hustle. The hotel is perfect if your look for relaxed and comfortable stay. The stuff is great. The best part of it is the ocean and a beach. The beach is clean, not crowded and perfect for relaxing day. The Kahala is established and trusted resort, some might say it is old and needs renovation. All of this will be true. However it so well maintained and offers so much, so the rest doesn’t not matter. The only part that was upsetting is a dolphins. They are such an amazing creatures and it hard to see them suffer in a small space. They look loved, but not happy.

The hotel is located right on the beach, offering beautiful oceanfront views, though it's somewhat isolated, with nowhere within walking distance. The few restaurants on-site were great, although the Italian one required a dress code that I wasn't prepared for. Despite this, my stay was wonderful. The staff were incredibly attentive and quick to meet all of my needs, and the rooms were well-maintained and felt new, adding to the comfort. Overall, it was a perfect place for a quiet beachfront escape.
