I have bought several pieces from this location and looking to complete a piece of forever jewelry soon! Upon my last visit it sadly was not operational but look forward to completing it at the start of the new year. Thank you shoutout to Jayla who provided great customer service and was able to help me to create the pieces that I wanted for my birthday! Mahalo! Will return soon!

I can't wear jewelry for work, so I take it off and loose it a lot. I know for a fact I can get good quality, TRENDY pieces, that will last, without having to purchase real gold/ silver. They are always on top of trends & there is soo much selection so you don't have the same as everyone. If you ever need a repair, they do it right in store, so fast, no hassle. The OC girls are always so sweet and helpful! amazing service everytime! Paige & Chey have made all my custom pieces and make me feel so welcomed AND customs are finished same day!

The power of bling…read more.. Everyone loves some sort of bling and Lovisa has items here from heat to toes. The first thing I saw was a body piercing section which I thought what this shop was about and how wrong I was as they also have earrings and not just the simple studs but huggies, hoops and yup cuffs though mine are pierced I've been into cuffs but have had issues finding them but the staff here is just amazing friendly and helpful one had helped a young man looking for a particular something for his ears as his parents looked on was adorable lol! Not just items for the lobes but necklace, watch bands, hair accessories, and so much more...everywhere I turn I see something cool, cute and just the interesting to pair whatever ensemble you're creating. Absolutely lovely place for a one stop shopping for toddlers to adults including several clearance section which I got something cute for just $4...what a fun place to express yourself. Thank you!

Oh. My. GOSH. What started as a casual Thursday walk-in at Kay Jewelers to "just fill our right…read morehands" (ring finger) turned into a full-on shopping spree! Thanks to Keiko's patient, warm, and down-to-earth service, my wife and I browsed the whole store trying on everything her heart desired. Gold chains, rings, earrings - you name it. Meanwhile, I came in with my online pick ready to go (I like to be prepared lol). What began as a "simple" spontaneous idea turned into a 4-carat STUNNING engagement ring replacement. Haha THANKS BABE!! Celebrating 5 years married at Kay Jewelers wasn't exactly on my original wishlist (we usually do dinner), but I'm SO glad I locked eyes with this GORGEOUS piece!! **insert crying emoji** - and HELLO! It was 40% off!!!! Even better! Shopping with Keiko made the entire experience fun and comfortable. She matched our humor, wasn't uptight, wasn't pushy - just genuinely helpful and real. Exactly the kind of person you want assisting you during a special purchase. We walked out buying three pieces: - A new engagement ring - An anniversary ring - A men's studded ring ALL. SO. GORGEOUS! Resizing was needed for all pieces, and everything is expected to return within 2 weeks. So awesome. We also added Kay's lifetime protection/guarantee, which means our stones are covered (chips, breaks, replacements, issues with setting), as well as lifetime resizing on the bands. We're required to bring them in every 6 months for inspection and cleaning, and Keiko said I can even bring my other pieces for cleaning even tho we didn't purchase them there. Cool! Note: this added coverage isn't the same as full loss/theft insurance, but for what we need it's a great value, plus we also have our Homeowners policy. Another positive was the magnified photos of the diamonds & serial numbers. All rings also came with the certificate of authenticity - digital copies have been emailed for safe keeping, along with the physical cards. Loved this! Big, BIG thanks to Keiko and the Kay Jewelers team at Ka Makana Ali'i. You turned our spontaneous stop into a truly memorable celebration for our 5-year anniversary. Beautiful pieces, smooth service, and a whole lotta laughs... we couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommend this location, and DEFINITELY recommend Keiko! She's the best!! Happy Holidays!

I walked in, wearing my leggings and Tshirt. (Was waiting around to watch a movie and it's best that I'm comfy ). No "Hi!" No nothing. Waited to flag a worker just to get a price on something. (5min of standing there) Seen a customer walk in, dressed all fancy - everyone says hi! RUDE! I gave it two stars because prices/specials are decent.

Cyre, Nicole, and the guy there too were absolutely so helpful and great to us as well! (I'm sorry I didn't get your name, but your bright personality and that 80's song you sang brought us back to those days although we're not from that era lol) Everyone here is great to work with, you will not be disappointed! I cannot thank you enough! Our order arrived a lot faster than anticipated. So so happy! I will definitely recommend this Zales to family and friends.

One she helped me find a great deal on a watch that I found on the Internet. It wasn't available at the store, but she was able to bring it into the store at a good price. really appreciated her awesome stellar customer service.

Shopping in Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling through Ka Makana Ali'i (shopping mall), I noticed No'eau Designers... Curious, I entered the spacious, bright, well air-conditioned, tidy shop. I saw clothing by Kini Zamora... he is a designer from Hawaii that was on Project Runway. I thought: i wonder if I can get an outfit? The dresses that I liked weren't in my size... hmmm... I'll look again later... There were some funny stickers... they were sold out. I almost got a cute Power Puff Girl sticker... and Kawaii Supaerman sticker... LOL! I liked the tote bags, stationary, accessories like costume jewelry, local fragrances, Hawaiian themed t-shirts, pet supplies, etc. A worker asked if I needed help because I was going back and forth. I told him that there's so many things to look at... I wasn't going in an organized pattern through the store! He laughed and said that there's so much that he doesn't even know exactly what they have! Yes... if you're looking for things made in Hawaii, there are some original artwork here and handmade items like wooden gift card holders with a Hawaiian print! Go check 'em out!

The staff aren't over-the-top, but they're approachable and happy to help when you need something. I actually liked that--it felt genuine. The clothing is adorable and feels like good quality. They were also super clear about prices, especially on the jewelry, with no pressure or upselling. Just a nice, easy shopping experience all around.

"The Inspiration"…read more Curating their inventory to fit the local need. Family owned and operated. Cozy and welcoming, it's a place with unique offerings. They lock into the local community to make the whole town feel complete. It's a special, one-of-a-kind place. These are the mom 'n pop stores I grew up with on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Some are still around. Mom 'n pop stores, the inspiration behind Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Ko Olina-O'ahu. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "My Storytelling" It's the weekend and my parents are taking my siblings and I to a kiosk in Kaiko'o Mall. To enjoy Icee from Kaiko'o Seeds N'things, as we choose bags of cracked seed from this mom 'n pop store. Household appliances weren't purchased from corporate retailers like today. My family and most of East Hawai'i years+ ago were loyal to mom 'n pop stores like Modern Appliance. Next door, Kay's Lunch Center had the most delicious Korean fried chicken made by "mom", and slices of homemade cream pies by "pop". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kai Store since 1948, Chika Nakano since 1975, Optical Dispensers, Hilo Siam Thai Restaurant (see my Yelp review), and Leung's Chop Suey House since 1975. Doris Place since 1948 on the west side and Hirano Store since 1969 in Mountain View. These are some of the mom 'n pop stores currently still in-business on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Since my childhood. And of course, the Hasegawa General Store since 1910, still serving the local community in Hana-Maui. Featured in the Disney animated film, Lilo & Stitch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Disney Storytelling" A story is shared with intricate details. Culturally significant, extremely immersive. The Disney way - through storytelling. The culture of the Hawaiian people is displayed in the most creative way by Disney Imagineers. Unlike any resort in Hawai'i. Unique architecture and design, awe-inspiring artwork and murals throughout. Multi-sensory excellence at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Home to Kalepa's Store. The only place to purchase official Disney merchandise and exclusive Aulani items in Hawai'i. (Visit my Yelp review of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Elevated Perspective" Joyful suspension, relaxed excitement. A rental car made the drive possible from Waikīkī on my first visit. Fourteen months later, a last minute window of opportunity became available for another visit to Kalepa's Store. I've learned to look upwards for hidden high level details and architectural Disney magic. As I entered Kalepa's Store, I found the most meaningful key designing element. Framed photos of actual mom 'n pop stores in Hawai'i. Some are now closed, others are currently still in business. It brought personality, warmth, meaning and an authentic deep connection to the rich history of my home-state. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Retail exclusivity is why I'm here. Unique Aulani logo items, clothing and accessories that cannot be found inside the Disney theme parks and online. Bags of Disney Parks Main Street Popcorn like those found at Disneyland are found along with my favorite, Gummi Disney Character Bites. Guest service excellence at Kalepa's Store. Individual attention, personalized conversations, strong engagement from the cast members. We laughed and reminisced about our past trips to Disneyland, Disney vloggers we watch. Photo ops were taken, care was extended. I felt valued. That the drive from Waikīkī was worth every minute, that my choice to be here as a local Hawai'i resident was appreciated. I'm departing Kalepa's Store, Aulani logo shopping bags in both hands with orange tissue paper puffs. All smiles, I'm content. Parking validation is extended since my purchase reached a certain dollar amount. It's now time to enjoy the resort property for just a while longer... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Future Inspired" Mom 'n pop stores. Independent, family-owned, a unique role in the local community. But they struggle to compete with larger corporations, big box retailers and e-commerce platforms who have buying power. My visit to Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa opened my eyes. It made me realize my unique role in my local community, how important my choices are. Where I shop, where I dine, where I choose to take my business as a consumer. It matters to help keep money circulating nearby for the vitality of mom 'n pop stores and small businesses in my community, on my home-island. In Hawai'i. Even though I'm employed by a corporation, I've recently decided on making small, gradual changes in some of my habitual spending. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Be Inspired" I implore you to do the same while you visit, shop, casually meander and enjoy the most unique resort property in Hawai'i. Like I did. Stay for hours, return for a second time, or become an overnight guest. Immerse yourself in the details. Embrace the magic of Disney and the rich history of Hawai'i at Kalepa's Store. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Become inspired.

I've bought a few over the years. I didn't see anything that I liked this time around. They did have those popular Disney x Aloha print bags near the entrance. People were buying everything in the store. They were standing in line holding clothes, mugs, toys, headbands with the ears and snacks. I really liked the Disney ears, but they were $40 something each or $30 each when you buy 3. I decided not to get them, even though they were so cute.
