Lunchtime view

Hubby and I stayed at the Sheraton resort during our Maui vacation and through our Costco package, we received meal credits at the restaurants in the resort, so the Cliff Dive Grill was our go-to spot for a few meals. It was a nice, casual, outdoor spot by the beach with a great view. The counter seats were right by the lazy river, so it was, overall, a really nice spot to just take in scenery and people watch while enjoying your meal. I was so excited to see that they had Kalua Pork tacos on the menu, so I ordered that with a side salad the first night. What a brilliant concept that I never thought of until spending this vacation in Hawaii. The tacos came topped with a deliciously dressed coleslaw. The side salad wasn't on the menu, but I asked and they delivered. Vacation meals had me craving some fresh veggies, so I had to get some greens in and this was a nice, basic fresh bowl of greens. It was a pretty large serving of salad for a side, so that was nice. It was served with a sealed side of ranch dressing. One of the other meals I ordered was the karate chicken bites (and again, side salad). It was sweet, tangy, and delicious. Just enough crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. All in all, I really like the casual dining experience. The food was delicious. The service was excellent - super-sweet servers. I would totally go back the next time I stay there.

We ate here a few times during our stay at the Sheraton. A few lunches. The food at the property is better than average. The downer is you are often eating from disposable cups, utensils and ware. The Buddha bowl is good. And you can't beat the view!

Bernie from cliff dive you are an absolute treasure!!! What a beautiful, kind soul!! Mahalo nui loa! She made our vacation so wonderful! We would come to kaanapali for beach days and she was always our server, and went above and beyond each day! Her smile and warmth just made our days!! We love the drinks and snacks here! Can't beat cliff dive on a beach day!! We'll be back soon I hope!! Thank you Bernie!

Inside of the Maui Sheraton hotel down toward to the beach it's the Cliff Dive bar beautiful view, good services and good food. We ordered the Portuguese sausage queso with tortilla chips, fire grilled chicken sandwich, tonic water and sangria everything was well made and tasty our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I don't know if they do it every day but we enjoyed a Hawaiian show with two excellent artist the singer and the dancer Was a beautiful experience and also some Hawaiian ceremony( sorry I don't remember the name) You can choose 3 parking options: A) Self parking, B) valet parking with validation if you have a consumption in the lobby bar or C) $20 if you do valet and go directly to the Cliff Dive bar ( I use option B)

Buddha bowl. More like a spinach salad...

Budhha bowls was good, but more like a spinach salad. Service was good, views amazing!

The view of the beach was spectacular.  We snorkeled for an hour and Lisa cheeks got a little sunburned. Thong tan line.

We ate here twice this week. Excellent spot with perfect view of water. We had the most better Waugh burger, quesadillas and Aho Poke bowl. Burger was a hit. Very juicy and tasted great: Quesadillas were okay - loose pork, and I liked the beans and corn - but it needed more cheese. 3 out 5 - so still good. The Poke was EXCELLENT. Their chef knows how to Poke! I had it both times this week!

Burger
Aaron V.

The burger was rock solid. The fish tacos were pretty dry. The service was okay as our server had a lot of ground and people to cover when it got really busy. The views of the sunset are unmatched for the outdoor bar near the pool. Great spot to grab a drink and watch the sunset. Cheers!

Great food for a beach bar. Service nice and fast, Ambiance is loud and casual. Great place they come if you're staying at the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa. Cold brew on tap to cool you down from the hawaiian sun.

Mahi Mahi Tacos
John E.

A nice spot in the pool / beach area of the Sheraton Maui Resort. Fairly easy to get a table anytime, we went twice and walked right in. It can get breezy in the afternoon so look out for the changing weather. The views are amazing. You got a clear sight of black rock and the beach goers soaking up the sun and cliff divers jumping off the rocks. It's right next to the pool so you can stop here if you prefer to make use of the pool. As for the food the fish tacos were very good. Fresh Mahi Mahi, mango salsa and some really good cilantro crema made these tacos hit the spot. Poke Bowl was good as well, watch out for the chili powder not mentioned on the menu. Drinks were good as well. It's hotel food and by the pool so it is what it is. I really wish they had some nachos for poolside snacks. Oh they would sell a bunch of those.

Outside

Grabbed a quick smoothie here! Mainly to get the parking validation - kind of a hack!!! The smoothie was pretty much a shake, but it was still good. We got raspberry. The guy at the bar said it's just liquid ice cream with whatever flavor you choose. Decent but it was more of a means to an end for me

Sunset
Leila S.

Loved the Cliff Dive Bar! It is a bar/restaurant connected to our hotel by the water the Sheraton. I would recommend even if you don't stay there , the food is very good! Definitely order the burger !! The fries are to die for. The sunset views are amazing , the drinks were fantastic and they do a cliff dive every day at 5:23 pm . A must try the staff was amazing as well

Poke bowl

Very impressed. At first, I Got the vibe it was going to be a quick poolside food and drink stop but was pleasantly surprised. We ended up going two nights in a row. The food and drinks were great. Service was quick and serves were attentive and kind. I got the poke bowl. Fish and veggies were very fresh. Prices were very reasonable compared to most on the island

Cocktails!
Jesse G.

Yes, it's a hotel pool bar. It also has a completely amazing view of Black Rock Beach, good, prompt service, and good, fast food with huge portions. Several vegan/vegetarian options too, which is unusual for a burgers by the sea sort of place. The real star here is the blended drinks. Yes, they are basically straight-up milkshakes with alcohol in them. And yes, they are totally delicious. You can lounge on the beach and just run up for a cocktail break - as the Barefoot Contessa says, how great is that? I just walked up to this place and got right in unlike other places with way longer wait times, way worse food, and no view. Worth a visit!

Want the luau food experience without paying for the actual luau show? This is a great option!…read more It's an outdoor restaurant, so definitely dress accordingly. If it's drizzling outside, you can bet you'll probably be drizzled on while eating your meal too! But the setting is beautiful, especially if you get a table around sunset--you can watch the sunset right from your seat. There are plenty of food options to choose from, along with lots of drink options. The restaurant sits right next to Old Lahaina Luau, so if you make a dinner reservation around luau time, you can even hear the luau going on next door. They had traditional Hawaiian food such as poi, lau lau, kalua, etc. Service was good as well. Overall, a fun way to enjoy some of the food and atmosphere without paying for the full luau experience!

We left disappointed by the unfriendly service, very small portions, and a bill that felt wildly out of proportion to what we received. Our experience The setting is attractive and the renovation is a real improvement. However, the service lacked the warm, welcoming aloha spirit we hoped for, especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a Maui favorite. The pricing was the biggest issue: - $17.50 for an appetizer of only five wings. - $35.50 for a kalbi plate that amounted to roughly 2 1/2 ribs, chopped into seven or eight small pieces. - $19 for a small serving of mochiko chicken bites. - The kids' sliders were just two tiny burgers on Hawaiian sweet rolls. For two entrées, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks, our total came to more than $110. That is difficult to justify when both the portion sizes and overall service fell short. Bottom line We understand that Maui is expensive and that restaurants face high operating costs. Still, charging premium prices should come with generous portions, consistently good food, and genuinely hospitable service. Aloha Mixed Plate may have a beautiful new space, but at these prices, it feels overhyped and not like a good value. We hope they reconsider the portion sizes and customer experience, because the lack of aloha and the high prices could easily turn visitors away rather than make them want to return.

So was the rice. The bananas/ plantains added good sweet flavor to the whole meal. The coconut cheese was interesting. Never had that before but it did taste like cheese and added flavor. The jackfruit arepa sandwich that we had, could have had the jackfruit, cheese, plantains mixed together better. The jackfruit bowl was better as it was easier to mix everything and get all the flavors together. Pretty much same as the sandwich but a little more and easier to mix (so would recommend the bowl over the sandwich). The sandwich seemed to be made of rice. We also had a mango and a coconut slushie drink. The mango tasted like the mango concentrate from Costco (sugary) and the coconut was a little more original/ different. We liked both though. Limited indoor seating. Outdoor seating available. Steady flow of patrons. The only thing I didn't like was that the price was a bit high though in my opinion but I guess everything in Maui is that high priced. Update: went back and got a coconut slushie drink again :) and tried the plant based mushroom and cheese (coconut cheese) and fish empanada. They were delicious with the mushroom being our favorite. The chipotle sauces and cilantro onion sauces were delicious as well! The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade so you cannot seperate out the cheese from the mushroom but it does not have a strong flavor). I also liked the coconut slushie by itself vs mixed with mango. Note: The empanadas come in 2: when you eat in house, a red Chipotle sauce and white cilantro onion sauce are given with it (as well as with the arepas); there is another sauce for vegans (think it's a cilantro/ oil/ spice sauce). We liked the white sauce better than the vegan sauce. The empanadas are not made to order (they are premade). If you order to go, you are only given once sauce. If you want more than one, you need to just add it on before you leave with the big dispensers. Otherwise, you only get one sauce (not sure why you can't just add white and red sauce in the same to go container but we weren't given the option). And, to make things worse, the lady said curtly she would charge me next time for 2 sauces "due to the plastic". well, thank you for not charging me but the statement was unnecessary IMHO. Note for improvement (and for this, I was tempted to drop the star rating): we came here multiple times and gave your business a lot of our dollars (about 135.00), yet the above statement, I don't think was necessary if you are trying to provide good customer service. You should gladly offer extra of the sauce or even, as I suggested above, allow customers to add the sauce themselves if they want more than 1 sauce and you don't want us to "use up your plastic containers". Kind of left a bad taste in our mouths.

I had the grilled Ono, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was one of those meals you're still thinking about afterward. My husband had the Chef's Tasting Menu and loved everything. He started with the seafood potstickers and Caesar salad, followed by the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi. The mahi mahi was gorgeous and cooked perfectly, and the macadamia crust made it something special. What we really appreciate about Hula Grill is that it delivers the whole Maui experience: wonderful fresh seafood, beautiful presentation, a relaxed atmosphere, and food that is genuinely memorable. Coming back a second time on the same vacation says a lot when there are so many restaurants to choose from on Maui. Hula Grill has definitely earned a place on our "must return" list. An absolutely fantastic meal and a wonderful way to spend one of our last evenings in Maui. Highly recommend, especially the fresh fish!

We ordered the Miso Butterfish, Garlic Noodles (heavily recommended), and Hapa Ramen. The cheapest cocktail was $20.50, more expensive than all but two of the noodle entrees - that didn't seem worth it so we skipped the drinks. The Ramen was pretty standard, didn't really impress or disappoint. The Butterfish was pretty good, mainly because of the miso sauce, but we did notice a table next to us got a significantly larger portion of the same dish. Finally, the Garlic Noodles - maybe I need to stop taking recommendations from this specific friend, but it was super underwhelming. It tasted like salted butter noodles with some garlic added, super salty. I love salt, but this dish just seemed like something I would eat at home when I don't feel like cooking. I guess it is what it's advertised as, I just expected more as it seemed to be an internet (and my friend's) favorite. Service was alright. We were seated right away even being 5 minutes early to our reservation, but then didn't see a server for at least 10 minutes - not a huge deal and we used the time to decide what to order. Food came out very quickly after ordering. I needed a water refill (on account of all the salt) for about 6-7 minutes before anyone even walked through our area that I could flag down. Everyone was very nice but the place seemed somewhat understaffed. TLDR: cocktails are very pricey, food was underwhelming and salty (skip the garlic noodles), and service was fast but servers were hard to find. I probably wouldn't recommend this place - especially if you can't see/don't care about the view.
