You could argue there is nothing better than sitting at a Tiki Bar very close to the ocean sipping a Mai Thai. This bar is part of the Hyatt Vacations hotel. Drinks are blended on the spot. I had the fish tacos which were fresh and tasty. The Firecracker poke was somewhat smothered in a sauce and was just ok. But you just cannot beat that beach environment. Service was fine but you had a sense the bartenders did not want to be there.
Not sure why it says this is closed. We were just there. It's open. It's a tiki bar oceanfront by the pool at the Hyatt Residences on Ka'anapali beach. We went there daily. We ate a few times. Watched the Ohio State football game there. The service was great. The food was great. The view was great. They have happy hour twice a day. Select drinks are 30% off.
Great location. Rarely crowded. Serve excellent cocktails. We stop by here always on our Kaanapali BEach pub crawl.
This place was amazing! Drinks were super tasty! The food was very good as well! We had a pork and chicken quesadilla both were delicious and the bacon cheese fries with the queso sauce was so good! Forsure check this place out!
The appetizers were delicious last night. The pork meat was very flavorful and the wings were meaty and juicy. We will definitely be coming back for some more yummy snacks!!
Went on a slow rainy day. Free parking in front of hotel, for beach access, but space looks limited. Ordered Furikake fries. Looks like potato wedges, but smaller. Excellent flavor and crunchiness. Upcountry Mai tai and Pe' ahi drinks were ok.
Great patio right across from the beach. I ordered the drink of the day which was a Maui sunrise and it was just delicious!
The bar is right by the pool which is very accessible to get light foods after swimming. Good place to stop by for happy hours
First good meal I've had at the Hyatt or Marriott Maui. Had 5 meals here in 4 days and never disappointed. The Wonton Ahi Tacos were out of this world had them 4 times! The Upcountry Hummus, Ona Moa Salas and Crispy Huli Tacos are all fabulous. May have to return real soon!
