Ka Laʻi Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Ka La’i Hotel is worth every penny! Our family stayed in one of their newly renovated suites and had an incredible experience. The rooms are well appointed and quiet, the service is excellent, and it’s in a prime location if you’re staying in bustling Waikiki but still want to be able to relax. Compared to other hotels nearby, Ka La’i is much more serene and feels less crowded or chaotic. All of the staff from valet to check-in to maintenance and housekeeping crew were all incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Doug at check-in gave us a very warm welcome and Lily made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Keanu and the whole valet team were so attentive and always had our car pulled up for us right away. We never felt rushed getting in and out. We traveled with a toddler and small dog, and the hotel was so accommodating! They provided baby toiletries, diaper genie trash can, bed rails, high chair, and even a stroller! For the dog, they provided a plush dog bed and ceramic food and water bowls. Having a full kitchen and in room laundry was so nice. I visited the hotel bar about a decade ago prior to the change in ownership and rebranding, and can confidently say they’ve really outdone themselves. We can’t wait to visit again once all of the renovations are finished. Highly recommend!!

Everyone was so kind and accommodating. The rooms were very clean and furnished. Our room had an ocean view and so did the pool. They are currently renovating but it did not interrupt our stay at all.

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of August and had a great experience. The staff here is the star of the show. The location and proximity to the beach, yet slightly removed from the chaotic part of Waikiki make it even better. Valet knew us by name, knew we had a habit of being picked up by our local friend, and were just generally warm and helpful. Ms. Saori at the front desk is a sweetheart who genuinely wants to make sure you have a smooth stay. Yes, they're currently undergoing a renovation but we felt our stay was not very impacted. The hotel contacted us months in advance to reassure us they would make our upcoming stay as comfortable as possible, took down our requests, and everything was prepped and ready when we arrived nearly nearly 2 hours before check in time. They had even upgraded us unprompted. We couldn't hear any hammering, drilling, etc. during our stay. There are renderings around the property that show what it will look like once renovations are complete and it looks amazing! Our toddler's crib and a diaper genie were set up when we arrived at the room and there was even a stuffed sting ray for her. Having a washer/dryer and a fridge in the unit was a huge plus with a toddler. We are already looking forward to another stay next summer when we return to Honolulu.

We’re writing this review because a disappointing experience at another Amex FHR property made us truly appreciate our stay at Ka La‘i. From start to finish, every single staff member was exceptionally gracious and accommodating. They went above and beyond to care for my kids and mother-in-law as if they were part of their own family. This level of warmth and hospitality made all the difference in our trip. We’re already planning another visit to Hawaii in 2026 and can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you, Ka La‘i, for making our experience unforgettable!

L emplacement près des plages et des magasins. Le personnel sympathique. La vue de notre suite mi mer/ mi ville superbe.

Les grosses bouées dans la piscine. Cela devrait être interdit ( sauf bien sûr les bouées pour les tous petits). Cela manquait d explications en français, cela n engage que moi car je ne parle pas anglais. Le bruit de la climatisation ( qui est nécessaire)

Excellent location, nice rooms. Restaurant a bit limited on the menu and the service, expensive, but a good backup for all the other options around that area. Friendly staff. It was undergoing remodel so hopefully it will be better next time I visit.

Clean, beautiful view, very close to the beach.

Great! Thank you Alex, Doug and
