The hotel offers beautiful rooms with amazing views right on the beach, spacious enough for four guests. The service is professional and accommodating, even though extra side tables by the pool might hinder views. The location strikes a perfect balance, away from the chaos of Waikiki but close to attractions. Dining was a letdown in terms of service speed and price. Overall, a great stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel offers beautiful, spacious, and comfortable rooms with plenty of amenities, but only had two small changing rooms. The turn down service provided fresh towels, a full ice bucket, and chocolates daily, creating a luxurious experience. The location is fabulous, quiet, and offers plenty of space, with lovely lounge chairs and top-notch surrounding attractions. The dining experience was delicious but a bit pricey, especially during special occasions like New Year. The service was extremely friendly, accommodating, and patient, catering well to families with young children.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were top-notch, overlooking the Sony Championship Golf course, and the breakfast at the restaurant buffet was well-done. However, some areas like the bathrooms had dated facilities. The service was remarkable with lotsa Aloha spirit, especially during our wedding preparations. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway. The dining experience, which was part of our hotel package, was a treat. The facilities were also impressive.

The hotel is one of the best spots in the Hawaiian islands, nestled in the serene Kahala neighborhood on a private beach away from the chaos of Waikiki. The rooms are well-appointed, making them perfect for families with small children, and the staff is efficient and provides top-notch service. However, the location is not ideal if you prefer to walk to nearby attractions, and the dining experience, while amazing, could offer more variety in breakfast options.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a stunning view of the Ocean and the dolphins lagoon, complete with a huge double bathroom featuring both shower and bathtub. Despite the initial room availability hiccup upon arrival, the overall ambiance overlooking the lobby and motor court, with the ocean beyond, was delightful.
