This was our second stay at The Kahala. The hotel is calming and serene. Fabulous service and old-world charm. The beach and pool area are beautiful, and staff are always friendly and accommodating. Perhaps there could be an increase in availability at food at night especially given the hotels distance from the main strip. Of course, the gorgeous dolphins are lovely and a treat!

The hotel is showing its age especially in the bathroom tiles. The dolphins are incredible to see, it is sad they are confined too such a small area.

Beautiful property, great beach and warm heated pool, dolphins fun to watch and all staff friendly and exceptional service, Stephanie Oona, in pool cafe area was especially helpful. She gave my autistic son her can of diet coke for our room fridge afterI asked her if there was any convenience store at hotel to buy soda or other beverages (no there is not--very inconvenient and my one complaint.)
