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.

Buddha bowl

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!

The person taking our order was very rude and not welcoming at all. After we had ordered all of our food, we were asked if we would like to leave a tip, which we did. We later found out that gratuity had already been added beforehand "for a big group," even though there were only six of us. Because we were unaware that gratuity had already been included, we ended up leaving two tips totaling $48. This was very frustrating, but we decided to move on and enjoy our meal. Unfortunately, it then took almost 45 minutes for our food to arrive, and when it did, the order was incorrect. When we tried to explain to the staff that the food was wrong, they were not helpful and were initially unwilling to fix the issue. They brought the same incorrect food back, and we had to explain multiple times that the burger was not the one my sister had ordered. Eventually, they told us it was "only missing one ingredient." At that point, my sister was exhausted and anxious from having to explain the issue so many times, so she ultimately just ate the incorrect food. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially because we were on vacation and had been looking forward to visiting. The poor customer service, unexpected gratuity, long wait, and incorrect food made the experience even more frustrating

A5 Wagyu Smash Burgers? Sign me up everyday of the week!…read more We were staying in the West Side of the island, and saw this place pop up on Yelp and knew I had to give it a try. I went all in and went with the 3x3 which in hindsight was way more than I needed. The meat is rich which means a single or 2x2 is all you need. The crisp on the smash was perfection and the bun was pillowy soft. The sauce complimented everything well. My only regret was not asking if they had Serrano peppers before I ordered bc that would've added a whole other level to an already amazing burger. $30 well spent. If you just look at the menu, you might have sticker shock, but they are using A5 meat for the burgers which is why its higher priced. Compare it to most food in the area, everything is overpriced bc it's touristy, at least at Swagyu you get a quality tasting meal. Worth every dime in my opinion. They have locations in San Diego as well, and all I could think of is how much money I'd spend if they had a spot up in the Bay. Smash burgers done right is so hard to find, if they had one in the Bay I'd be a regular here for sure.

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!

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.
