The room carpet was very dirty and furniture was all scratched up and damaged. The property was very old and dated . it does smell like old property and dusty. I requested a room change after first night. They were not able to accommodate my request. They can change to upgrade with additional 300 per night. finally second day they are able to change the room, but the condition was pretty much the same. so if you asked me if I would stay there again, unfortunately I wouldn’t stay there again. The property is beautiful, but the room condition is horrible. It’s not a five star.

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.

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.
