My wife & I spent another vacation here at The Halekulani. From the moment we arrived at this beautiful hotel, we were warmly greeted and were treated as if we were family. The décor in this hotel is stunning with fresh flowers throughout. This hotel offers a wonderful breakfast at Orchids. Everything was fresh and delicious and the staff are pleasant as well. We had dinner one evening at Le Mer, and it was outstanding with impeccable service! Worthy of a Michelin star. The service both in the hotel and restaurants was very friendly and professional. It is in a great location that is only a short walk from the shopping area. This hotel offers a lovely tour of their property, so if you have time take it. We had Donna one year giving the tour, and she is fantastic. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return.
