We went at night and it's so pretty with the outdoor string lights. It made the experience really enjoyable! The staff was friendly and polite, and the manager was very informative when we asked about hosting a private event. We would have loved to host a party here, and it's definitely something we'll keep in mind for the future. They also serve food, which we didn't get to try this time, but we'll be back for that next visit!

The space is small but has a lot of holes to pass through. Yes, it was busy and we had to wait for every hole in front of us to be free but that was expected based on it being a rainy day and we could clearly see when we started how many people were there so we knew what we were in for. Even so, the kids still had fun and everyone gets a prize at the end too (in our case it was a light up ring)! The place was clean and seems to be up-kept. We'd been previously when it wasn't as busy also had a great experience. Highly recommend for all ages.

That said, this course place has it all. Incredible views, friendly staff (I've only had one negative experience, an outlier for sure and it was in the context of a busy Sunday on the course and my lack of proper etiquette), good grounds upkeep and a steady flow of upgrades, affordable food and drink options, carts are clean and reliable. Overall, great value and for all these reasons I have become a loyal patron.

I've been going here for years, mainly for their food. I always get the oxtail soup and it is…read morealways delicious. You get a good portion of rice (option for brown), ox tail, shiitake mushrooms, peanuts and bok choys. The broth is consistently delicious alongside their dipping sauce for the meat. It's unfortunate with everything these days that everything is more expensive. It use to be under $20, and now a bowl of ox tail is approaching $30!!! The staffs are friendly and depending on what time you come there, because it is very popular can get quite busy, staff members may not be able to come around and check on you too often. Bring a sweater because it can get quite cold in there. Also it can get noisy especially if there are a lot of bowlers there. I'll keep coming here for the food but if the prices keep going up, I may have to find a different place. Would of gave it a 5/5 but had to knock down a star due to the price.

Aloha, Played at…read moreHawaii Kai Golf Course with my boyfriend while visiting and the views alone were absolutely beautiful -- definitely one of those courses where you stop and take it all in. But I'll say this... the rough is no joke. The front desk lady warned us, "if you're not on the fairway, good luck," and she meant it. If your ball goes off, be prepared to really search for it. Aside from that, we had a great time and played pretty well. The overall vibe was relaxed, and it still felt like a fun experience rather than overly stressful. We also ordered food and drinks -- got the club sandwich with fries, and for golf course food it was actually really good and filling. Drinks were solid too. Overall, I'd recommend it if you want a course with great views and don't mind a bit of a challenge.

The booking feature, however, is not managed by HKGC, and is operated by an outside vendor so any and all cancelation fees or issues must be addressed directly with them. I didn't use this service but my friend did, and I spoke with the proshop and learned more about it after he had an issue and I had to rebook for us. The proshop folks are very nice, both over the phone and in person. The clubhouse has quite a bit of clothing, hats, golf balls, and accessories to buy if you need anything. Only one visor option if you like visors, which I do so I was glad I had mine for the day! The restaurant was open and serving food early, which was nice. Some courses don't. The full bar was also pouring drinks to go for your carts! It was nice to take a Bloody Mary to kick off our tee time. They typically have cart beverage and snack service available too. We played a full 18 holes and it was not crowded. The greens played well. The fairways were a little dry in some areas but Hawaii Kai can get pretty dry so that is expected. It is a beautiful area and course.

Ayce breakfast package. Breakfast is nothing great. Every single day it's just rice, sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, oatmeal, miso soup, bagel/ toast, yogurt and fruits and sometimes bacon (once a week). Fruits are always the same. Pineapple and melons. Got real sick of the same stuff everyday. But if you ordered food off the menu, it's pretty good. We did order breakfast once. We also did order room service and food came up pretty fast. Some issues we had: After checking in and unpacking we were leaving and checked our door to ensure it's locked and realized it doesn't lock. So we had maintenance come and fix the door. The next day it happened again not sure what happened but again it didn't lock. Maintenance came by and took a look and they fixed it while we were gone. A bit inconvenience. Mini fridge in the room is terrible. Very small and it doesn't stay cold for very long. There's a button that says you can turn it on cold for two hours and another button that says snooze for 24 hours. So your drinks barely get cold or your food like poke will most likely go bad. Pool and hot tub are always nice and clean. Has a little mini golf area. It is usually windy since it's on the 10th floor. The house keeper lady that cleaned our room on the 32nd floor was super nice. I used the laundry room once and it had 4 washers and 4 dryer. Nice and spacious enough. Definitely not busy at all.

We thought the food was good and enjoyed the added on breakfast buffet with our Costco travel package. Rooms are very dated and old though. We splurged on the ocean front view which was awesome but the rooms are small and haven't been updated in at least a decade and you can see the rust and peeling paint in the rooms. The carpet is more of a hard woven mat. We have stayed here 2 times before and I don't recall the hotel being so worndown. Our room was a good budget price but wish I would have booked a nicer hotel. The service was hit or miss. It took forever to check in late at night and we encountered some staff that need a little more training in hospitality. However we also had great experiences with other team members, especially the breakfast, Starbucks, and pool bar staff. Overall the stay was just ok, we got good bang for our buck, but will not return.

However, on my most recent trip, I decided to try the Hyatt Regency, thinking the lounge access and more resort-style atmosphere might be a better fit for my elderly parents. We booked three rooms for our family, and I can confidently say that this stay completely changed my perspective and that is largely thanks to Grace at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, Grace went above and beyond to make sure our check-in experience was seamless and welcoming. Traveling with elderly parents can sometimes be challenging, but she handled everything with such patience, warmth, and genuine care. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, thoughtfully ensuring that our rooms were convenient and comfortable for everyone in our group. What truly stood out was her ability to make us feel valued not just as guests, but as people. Her professionalism was matched by her kindness, and it was clear she takes great pride in creating a positive experience for those she helps. She anticipated needs we hadn't even expressed and handled every detail with ease and grace. Because of her exceptional service, what was meant to be a one time stay at the Hyatt Regency has completely changed my preference moving forward. Grace's hospitality exceeded all expectations and made our trip that much more memorable. It's rare to encounter someone who leaves such a lasting impression, but Grace absolutely did. She is a true asset to the Hyatt Regency, and I sincerely hope she receives the recognition she deserves. I will definitely be returning and recommending this property to others because of her.

Unfortunately, the first…read moretwo days of our trip were heavily impacted by severe weather--it was raining cats and dogs and apparently the worst storm in decades. During that time, the property experienced a loss of power and water, and the elevators were not working, which made things quite challenging. That said, once the weather cleared, we were able to appreciate what the hotel had to offer. We had booked two adjoining oceanfront rooms, and the view was beautiful when the skies opened up. Waking up to the ocean right outside our window made it all worthwhile. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the front desk, maintenance team, and all the staff members we interacted with were all very friendly and really helpful despite the difficult circumstances. Their positive attitude made a big difference in our stay. The location is def a huge plus, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, making it super convenient. The pool is a bit small and tends to get crowded, but it was heated, which was nice, and we really enjoyed the SWIM bar and restaurant. The food and drinks there were surprisingly good but they have a new menu so I was disappointed I didn't get to try some of the items I saw on the Yelp reviews . Overall, the service, location, and beautiful oceanfront views made our stay very enjoyable.
