I help my wedding May 18, 2013 at Chaminade and, since everyone attending would be traveling to get there, we turned it into a weekend of fun with the rehearsal dinner Friday, wedding and reception Saturday and a brunch Sunday. I was very happy with the food, beverage, staff and most of all the location and ambiance - which is... More

We recently held a surprise 80th Birthday Party for my father-in-law inviting 25 people. The initial contact with Chaminade (highly recommended to us) was several months in advance. I had never planned such an event like this before, so I really needed advise. It was very important to us (our family) that it be special for him. Angela Cima and... More

We stayed at Chaminade Resort and Spa the weekend of June 1, 2013 for a wedding. The property is lovely, well groomed and with beautiful views. Self-parking is a bit limited near the rooms, but there is valet available. The spa area was clean and well maintained. The service staff was friendly throughout. We arrived before we could check in... More

I expected much more for the cost. The decor was very dated, the room had an odd layout, strange and sickening smell in the hallways and you could hear everyone and everything going on in the hallways. I have stayed at far better resorts for less in the general area with a much better views and facilities. This place is... More

The nature around this place is really calming and beautiful. Big trees and a lot of other greens. You can even see the ocean, but not so much of it. The service is really good in every place and I really enjoyed my stay here! The rooms are good, but nothing special.

We had our wedding at the Chaminade and we could not have had a more amazing customer service experience. Angela is a ROCK STAR! Everything that goes into making a wedding venue a success is done proper here. The service, food, rooming, lighting, drinks, convenience, and of course the view are top notch.
