Huge disappointment. Hotel staff was under manned and overwhelmed with a large group. Spa was a disappointment - received a facial by a gorilla with rubber gloves, whose hands smelled of cigarette smoke. The massage on the beach was lovely and truly a joy - the exception to the stay.

We stayed from the 7th to the 17th and enjoyed every minute of it. We had a corner room (9th floor) which gave us a view of the ocean and downtown Honolulu. The service and food were both great.

We had a wonderful time. All accomodations were perfect. The staff was courteous and helpful. The location can't be beat! The rooms were spacious, the pool area was perfect for families with young and older kids. It was easy to make friends and enjoy ourselves. more

We loved the partial ocean view room--clean, comfortable and easy access to the ocean. The outdoor bar with live music was a great place to sip a drink and watch the sunset. The PX was perfect for snacks and souvenirs. more

This is the first time I've stayed at the Hale Koa in 20 years and there have been some changes, some good, a couple not so good.
