    This cute ice cream shop is along the Kaanapali beach walk, outside of Marriott's Maui Ocean Club. The gelato was amazing and the cherry shaved ice was refreshing. The shaved iced wasn't too sweet even with the syrup and the coco cream on top. The ice cream staff was patient with our little ones as they ordered by themselves. Completely professional and helpful the whole time regardless of age.

    So many flavors

    Aloha, braddah -- Captain 619 checkin' in from the Marriott Maui Ocean Club beach walk. Here's the lowdown so you don't get loko: Directions first: roll up to the Marriott Maui Ocean Club and park valet (usually a courtesy). Once you grab your keys, head to the right from the driveway and weave down toward the maze of pools and little bridges. Keep goin' along the beach walk -- you'll smell sweet cream and see the HulaScoops wahine scoopin' up ono cones right next to the beach. Look out for the hula girl statue. Now the review: Mama D at HulaScoops Marriott Maui Ocean Club is straight up legendary -- made in Maui with pure aloha. I snagged the Kokolada -- pineapple party in your mouth, a straight tsunami of pineapple flavor that hits hard and stays. My little lady got gelato imported from Italy (fancy kine), and my wahine went for cookies & cream mocha sorbetto -- creamy, rich, and totally shaka-worthy. Mama D super sweet like the flavors she serves. If you're cruisin' Maui, this stop is a must-do. Big aloha and mahalo -- go get some ono scoops!

    Thanks Mama D! It was so nice meeting you. This was my first time trying shave ice (criminal, I know!), and it was delicious. Smooth and refreshing with natural flavors. I chose pineapple and guava with the coconut flavored condensed milk drizzle and it tasted every bit tropical. It was the perfect flavor without having a syrupy taste. Looking forward to trying more flavors.

    We stumbled upon Hula Scoops while on our way to another hotel. It's a little gem located at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club. It was closed when we first passed by, but opened up later that day. It's a small spot, but has a good amount of options--the case was lined with about a dozen flavors of creamy gelato and refreshing sorbetto, plus the classic Dole Whip, and shave ice. The gelato was a little pricey and the Dole Whip seemed to be the better deal. My son opted for the raspberry sorbetto (a bright, tart choice that felt perfect for the day), while my mom happily enjoyed a small cup of pineapple Dole Whip. My husband and I couldn't resist the Dole Whip swirl--a large cup mixing vanilla and Dole Whip soft serve. We probably could have shared the small cup of Dole Whip as the large was just a bit too large for us and we couldn't finish it all. Haha. Hula Scoops was exactly the reprieve we needed from the Maui sun after walking down the beachwalk. Cool, sweet, with just the right amount of tartness and conveniently located just steps from the pool. With tables and shaded seating right outside and the ocean views and the sound of waves in the background, Hula Scoops the perfect spot to wind down and enjoy a sweet pause from the day. After our snack break, we jumped right back into vacation mode at the pool. Check it out if you're nearby!

    Adorable gelato/ice shop right on the beach. They have a whole cooler of gelato as well as pineapple soft serve aka dole whip!!!! They also have Hawaiian shaved ice bowls that are HUGE!!! I'm obsessed with pineapple dole whip and having it in a waffle cone was *chefs kiss*. The women working the shop were nice and patient and quick. It is expensive but it's also Maui so everything's expensive. But on a warm day definitely worth it!

    Good shave ice with homemade syrups that taste natural. They also have dole whip as well as gelato. The ice texture isn't as fluffy and well packed as Ululani's but it is an ok-ish substitute. The ice melts faster than ululanis due to this. There is outdoor seating with shade and bathrooms adjacent. The view from the seating is pretty fantastic as it is right on the beach. This location accepts card or tap pay only (no cash). This little stand is located on the beach in kanapali inside a hotel. Parking is pretty terrible as you need to park at a public lot by the Hyatt next door, then walk through the marriot, through the pool area, to finally reach it. If you are staying in kanapali in the hotels/condos, then it may be a convenient walk for you down the sidewalk by the beach.

    Great spot for shaved ice, gelato, and Dole Whip! Perfect location right in front of the beach with amazing views and plenty of seating. The Kokolada was delicious just the right amount of sweetness, with a scoop of coconut gelato and Dole Whip. The only downside was the wait; service can be a little slow when it's busy. But overall, it was a great experience and I'll be back!

    A little pricey, but to be expected near the resorts. The dole whip I had was delicious and went great with the beach view.

    Cute place with creamy delicious gelato, dole whip and shaved ice!!! The young ladies here were STELLAR! So so kind and made my first visit here incredible. I'm a fan...ok I'm obsessed with Disney Dole Whip...and their Dole Whip was 100% on the money!! The cookie dough ice cream my partner got was so creamy and flavorful! The shaved ice was so fresh and not artifical tasting! I swear it had real pureed watermelon in it! All around fabulous experience!

    We walked here from our hotel and it's a cute little shack off the boardwalk. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I ordered a shaved ice with 2 flavors- hibiscus and guava. I also got the passion fruit (lilikoi) gelato to go on it. The presentation and syrup flavors are amazing. The gelato was delicious as well. The only downside is the ice wasn't as soft as other places we tried. It got hard and compact. My sister in law tried their pineapple whip with lime shaved ice. It was good and the lime was like eating a margarita. I really like the unique flavors but wish the ice was better/softer.

    We had a fabulous one week stay at the Marriott Ocean Club on Ka'anapali Beach in Maui. HulaScoops is located at the resort by the beachwalk right next to Starbucks. They serve Gelato, Shave Ice, and Dole Whip. Plenty of tables by the beachwalk to sit and enjoy your treats from HulaScoops. Let me start by saying the Customer Service was NOT friendly at all. Service with a smile goes a long way folks. For goodness sake, you are working in Paradise. The young lady who was working that afternoon must of been having a bad day. Don't take it out on your customers, though. Anyways. we did not let that deter us from purchasing something from them. The Dole Whip tasted fine. Like everywhere else we've tried it. So nothing special about it. Just on the pricier side. Also tried a scoop of Gelato. Specifically, we tried the Kona Mud Pie. It looked yummy & fresh, and the container was still completely full. The scoop was more the size of a mini scoop for most shops. Disappointing due to how pricey the scoops are. She made sure not to overfill the cup. Some gelato was rising above the lip of the cup. So she removed the excess gelato as to not give us too much. Good for the business. Surprisingly, the Kona Mud Pie did not taste very good. Or maybe it was the bad taste the customer service left us with? A very disappointing 2 star experience that we had on this island paradise. Won't let this stop us from visiting Maui in the future. Will just skip HulaScoops.

    Peach mango shaved ice
    Sadie A.

    This shaved ice is delicious!!! We tried some of the gelato but landed on the shaved ice, mango and peach flavored! I want to go back and have another next time with coconut gelato at the bottom. A great spot, so convenient right on the beach! And a lot of ice for $10! Would highly recommend if you're on the beach, stopping there and getting something to share!

    Pineapple and lime with twisted whip add in and coconut drizzle.

    First time I've ever had Hawaiian shaved ice. They were so friendly and helped me create the perfect combination! I can't wait to try a different one every day of my vacation!

Beyond the amazing shaved ice and ice cream, what made this visit even more meaningful was seeing the energy returning to Lahaina.

    If you came to West Maui, and didn't go chocolate tasting at Ku'ia, did you really visit Maui?…read more I mean, I had an amazing time on my vacation in Ka'anapali - but this was the absolute foodie highlight, better than any restaurant and a lot more reasonable! We skipped the pricey farm tour (we did coffee farm tours last year and are farmed out) and went straight to the chocolate café. They will give you a five piece tasting for free, either a dark, milk, or sugar-free flight. But why would you come here and just take... When you can also give back to folks in Lahaina rebuilding? So we got two free flights, one milk and one dark. My sweetie added on a drink, a pastry, and some very tasty chocolate and salted caramel gelato. I went with a make your own alcohol pairing, which was so much fun and very reasonable. For about $17, I got a shot of coconut rum with two chocolate pairings and a shot of premium Martiniquan JM volcanic rhum Agricole with another two chocolate pairings. And then I still had my free five pieces. What an amazing taste adventure, for cheaper than the price of a cocktail at a hotel bar or even a locally owned foodie place? I don't want to mess up your tasting - so you pick your favorites! But I normally don't like rhum agricole - and the pairings were such an amazing flavor adventure. Honestly, this is my number one recommendation in West Maui. Give the folks some business and have an amazing time! Oh, and they have jazz on Sunday nights' but I'm sure it's more crowded than than popping in during the day on a weekday. And also: the second floor tasting room has panoramic views of the ocean and around Lahaina. Check them out!

    We booked the Maui Kuʻia Estate Chocolate farm tour and tasting as a family activity; me, my wife,…read moreand our two boys and I honestly enjoyed this WAY more than I expected to. It starts at their building in Lahaina, which has a little café/coffee shop, plenty of chocolate for sale, and a rooftop experience that looked interesting but we didn't get to try. By the time we finished the tour, the kids had reached the "we have successfully experienced enough things today" portion of the vacation. Fair enough. From there, you take a fun little ride out to the cacao farm, and that's where this became much more than "let's go eat some chocolate." Our guide, Andrew (I'm about 95% sure I'm remembering his name correctly!), was fantastic. He seemed genuinely interested in cacao, the process, the company, and what they are doing there. That makes such a difference. He talked about how cacao is grown and processed, the history behind Kuʻia, and a little about founder Dr. Gunars Valkirs and his rather fascinating path to chocolate. Then, of course, there was the tasting. Lots and lots of little squares of chocolate. This is educational work I was willing to undertake. Unfortunately, I can't tell you which particular varieties were my favorites because apparently I was too busy eating them to take adequate scientific notes. What I can tell you is that there really wasn't one I disliked. What surprised me most was how much flavor there could be in chocolate that wasn't buried under a mountain of sugar. The differences and complexity of the cacao actually came through, and it made me think about chocolate completely differently. The chocolate sample they gave us back at the counter was also fantastic, as was the coffee drink we ordered. My only regret is that we didn't buy more chocolate before leaving. Be warned, though: apparently this tour has side effects. I went in expecting a fun Maui family activity where we'd learn a few things and eat some chocolate. I left wondering about cacao varieties, fermentation, processing, climate, chemistry and several other questions that absolutely nobody in my family asked me to investigate. It's been a few weeks and I'm still going down the rabbit hole. Five stars. Great guide, fascinating process, excellent chocolate, fun for the family, and potentially hazardous to anyone predisposed to acquiring new interests while on vacation.

    MAKE THIS A MUST STOP IN MAUI!…read more my husband and i came here tonight for my birthday and to celebrate our honeymoon! i want to first start off by thanking davide our server for the INCREDIBLE hospitality and service. he was beyond kind and genuinely just had the best vibes! the rest of the staff and managers were also just so amazing! but oh my goodness, the food.......i am speechless. it exceeded our expectations. we started with the focaccia bread which was so yummy with the olive oil! my husband ordered the tagliatelle....AMAZING. but i ordered the lasagna and i have to say that is probably the best lasagna i've ever had. no exaggeration. everything just tasted so fresh! and you can really taste that italian-imported flour!!! and lastly of course we had to finish with the tiramisu which was so light and delicious! i also had a pinot nero wine that davide had suggested and it was delicious! again, everything was spectacular. this is seriously a hidden gem!!! you can taste the love they put into this place. do yourself a favor and make this a stop on your itinerary/list.

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Staff was very nice and checked on us a few times during the meal. We…read morestarted off sharing 2 salads - kale and a Romaine. Both were delicious but I liked the kale the best. The entrees were: Spicy sausage, mushrooms, provolone pizza. It arrived scorched on a couple edges and was crunchy, thin crusted. Just delicious. Beef ragu pasta - a lovely savory dish with great flavor. Lasagna - heavily covered in tomato sauce but our kid liked it. Gnocchi - the cheese sauce was divine. The pasta was on the heavier side than pillowy and fluffy ones I've had before. But the sauce over it really helped the dish. The cost of the meal can be a bit pricier than your casual family Italian restaurant but it's along the lines of what you'd pay at a good restaurant in a big city. We ordered 2 sodas and a beer. The local beer tasted mire bitter to me. I tried the local ginger beer. It was less gingery tasting than others and I've tried quite a few brands. Expect a health surcharge on your bill. There's a gender neutral, single bathroom. It's likely more popular since winning the 2026 James Beard best chef in the West-Pacific NW award. Glad our kid made reservations and invited us to dine here.
