Consider it a happy little accident. I had missed my flight home because of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Day Parade and was stuck an extra day on Oahu. I looked to see what was the cheapest hotel room available and the Ka La’i popped up which surprised me.
Booked the room quick because the Honolulu Marathon was the following day and almost every hotel was sold out.
I got an ocean view suite with a King bed as my room and loved it. Bathroom was amazing, bed was super comfortable and overall the suite was spacious. Although it had a kitchen it didn’t have a dedicated dining table, even a small one. Only thing in the sitting area was a glass coffee table that was long enough for my needs of just a late night pizza dinner.
Staff was helpful and even as I was checking out, I casually asked if I could tour the Penthouse suite because I had always wanted to book it. The 2 front desk workers escorted me to the Penthouse and gave me a little tour. It was impressive.
Definitely would stay there again soon.

- The hotel's location and surroundings are very good, such as location and access to the beach
- Good daily room cleanliness.
- Breakfast is provided, but the billed cost is considerable, so it is recommended to solve it outside other than once or twice.
-Valet parking and kindness were very good.
- When booking the hotel, it was announced that it was a trip to celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary, but there was no congratulatory message or consideration at all.

The location is excellent. Just across the street is the beach and the Military Museum. Walking behind is a lively street with big brands and small shops. The hotel is vertical, so you can basically see the sea view. The breakfast is the same every day, with both buffet and a la carte. There is an Asian cafe nearby. I ordered tiramisu coffee in the morning, which was very good.

Right next to Waikiki Beach, very convenient. Just a few steps to Chanel's street. There is an ABC store and a rice ball shop just downstairs. Satisfied

The room is not too small, and the overall facilities are quite new in Hawaii. The view from the ocean view room is great. The hotel is very close to Waikiki Beach, and the beach is just downstairs.

The rating is 4.8, which is a bit high. I stayed at Ka Laʻi Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts for 3 nights. The room rate included breakfast, but I had to sign a bill, which I don't understand. It was a very simple buffet breakfast.

Traveling with friends, we booked Kalai. The hotel is in a moderate location, not particularly close to the sea to avoid noise, and has a superior environment and unique style! It takes only 3/5 minutes to walk to the center of the area or the beach. There is a naval museum nearby.
The hotel environment is warm, comfortable and atmospheric, full of high-end feeling. The guests here come from all over the world, most of whom are dignified and elegant.

I was really satisfied. I stayed one night in an ocean view suite on a high floor. We were a large group of six people, but there were two baths and two toilets, so it was more than spacious enough. When I mentioned that we had a birthday guest when making the reservation, they prepared a very cute birthday plate for us. The ocean view from the room was beautiful, and the location was great, so I was very satisfied. I would like to stay here again when I come to Hawaii. There are staff who can speak Japanese, so it's reassuring.

I stayed in this hotel for the second time after five years. The hotel name has changed (so I almost didn't find it). The hotel service quality is as good as ever. Two bedrooms and two living rooms with a kitchen are the best choice for traveling with the elderly and children. Waikiki Beach and Waikiki Main Street are within walking distance, which is very convenient. BTW, the hotel parking price is not $45 as shown by Ctrip, but has increased to $55 per day (excluding tips). In addition, you have to pay about $100 per day when checking out (hotel service fee, parking fee, city tax), for reference later~

A very good hotel with a great location. Luxury shops are within walking distance. The Roys restaurant next door is highly recommended and is ranked in the top 3 of Western restaurants I have eaten in many countries. The room facilities are very complete, with more wine utensils and tools than at home. They also thoughtfully prepared 2 plastic cups that can be carried with you. The washing machine, dryer and dishwasher are all available. The room is also very large, but there is only one king-size bed. The temporary bed added in the living room is not very comfortable, and it is not convenient for 4 people to sleep.

The room is large, clean and comfortable, with complete configurations. Two sofa beds and a king-size bed meet the comfortable sleeping needs of a family of four. Water, laundry detergent, etc. are replenished in a timely manner every day. The service staff are also very enthusiastic. Although the room has a sea view, it is different from the previous order description. It is not a panoramic view. I don’t know if the introduction page is wrong or the room given is wrong.
