    We stayed at the Wailea beach resort and came here for lunch. The view is superb and having lunch with the ocean view is fantastic. The server was greeted us warmly and took us to the table with the view. The menu has a great variety of choices. The special of the day/catch of the day is mahi mahi. I ordered the mahi mahi taco with chips and salsa. My boyfriend ordered the mahi filet sandwich with a side salad. For dessert, we had the chocolate Haupia pie. It was a very satisfying lunch after we landed.

    We're staying at the resort and came by for dinner. The waitress was very friendly. We sat by the fire pit which was super cozy. The garlic furikake bread kimchi was a great starter. The Molokai banana curry was very color and a lot of food! My husband got the huli chicken and enjoyed it.

    Valentine's Day was truly an enchanting experience at Kapa Bar and Grill! Nestled within the stunning Wailea Beach Resort, this hidden gem offered us breathtaking ocean views that created the perfect romantic setting for our evening together. The atmosphere was electric, and every moment felt like a delightful escape with my love. We treated ourselves to an unforgettable culinary adventure, savoring every delicious bite of: - Miso Cacio e Pepe Lobster & Scallop Pasta - Kona Lobster - Brown Butter Lobster Steamed Buns - Wailea Old Fashioned - Strawberries and Cream Baked Alaska Oh my goodness, the Kona lobster was an absolute showstopper! The rich black bean sauce took its flavors to another level, and we couldn't help but wish we had ordered two! And let's not forget the incredible garlic and lap cheong fried rice--an epic addition to our feast! Each dish was a delightful revelation. The Miso Cacio e Pepe Lobster & Scallop Pasta and the Brown Butter Lobster Steamed Buns beautifully complemented the Kona lobster. Both were bursting with flavor and pure deliciousness! We left wanting more and can't wait to indulge in these dishes again on our next visit! Delicious food and a very romantic dinner.. I'm a fan and plan to dine here soon on my next visit to Maui

    Solid lunch spot on the Wailea strip. We always go a few times. The Poke plate is really good as is the Turkey Club. The staff is always nice and attentive. The location is really nice too. It's right behind the pool so people watching is fun. There is usually a DJ at lunch time but it's not too loud or energetic which is cool.

    Always a nice treat to eat at KAPA! I love the view sitting right next to the ocean. Great chef. Outstanding wait staff and even live music which always adds so much to the whole experience!

    This place is so nice! The aesthetics are modern, super nice, but still casual! Easy to make reservations on the website. And the service! Cynthia is so phenomenal! She answered every silly to serious question I had! She made sure the food came out perfect! I requested a dish that was veg friendly but silly me is allergic to peanuts and she made sure they could accommodate me and everything! My uncle had a plain burger with cheese, and he said it was the best burger on the island!!! 10/10 I recommend for a very chill, casual, but still 5 star service and food kind of night! Thank you so much for a great welcome and amazing food!

    This restaurant is part of the Wailea Beach Resort which is where I stayed. I had several meals at the restaurant during my stay and they were all wonderful. Great staff and yummy food. I had dinner there my first night and had made an Open Table reservation but it was not really needed. The place was never super full. I had the banana and veggie curry. The bananas added an interesting sweet flavor. It was very good. Also got their sorbet for dessert. It was very flavorful. I also had lunch there a couple of times - shrimp tacos and their root salad with shrimp added. Both meals were very tasty. One lunch, the waitress gave me a to-go cup so I could take more soda with me. A nice touch. They also do the food and drinks if you order something at one of the pools. I have avocado spring rolls one day and they were very tasty. Loved the peanut sauce for dipping. They also made good pina coladas and mai tais. Overall a really nice restaurant, especially one within a hotel.

    3.5 stars rounded up: You generally can't expect much from any resort restaurant. It's there for convenience (poolside is extra convenient) and the resort coupons for two complimentary drinks will draw you in. The service was very accommodating and open space concept with views towards the pool was great. Resort prices for food are expected. Personally I prefer food off resort as the menu isn't too special with any unique offerings, but I'll say the burger didn't disappoint with the char grilled flavor. Note they close a bit too early IMO at 8:00PM.

    Ceviche - shrimp Was the special today
    Ariana N.

    Such a beautiful view of the ocean from this restaurant! It is amazing that it was as empty as it was. If you come here, they will validate your valet parking... Definitely I think that more people should be here. The food was great, the service was exceptional, Highly recommend!

    Great views. Good service. But the food is overly priced and most likely just pre-prepared foods that are heated, fried, or easy to cook. This is the bar closest to one of the pools so you can drink at the bar and watch the sunset. We made reservations for dinner but you really don't need it unless it's super busy tourist season. Otherwise, you can order online and eat at the pool. The menu is the same. We ordered: Poke Bowl - Beautifully plated and that's about it. The poke is subpar. Nothing Hawaiian about it except for the ingredients. Kapa Burger - The burger is probably the best thing you can get for your money. Huge however it had a funky blue cheese taste. Fish of the Day - The fish was Mahi Mahi today. It had a funky taste to it. It was prepared with a sauce that was overly salty and had a packaged taste to it. It didn't come with the veggies listed on the menu and I had to ask about it. (They cooked and brought it out separately. The mushrooms with slimy and tasted sour.) Service: I do like that our server was attentive to my shellfish allergy and asking me about cross contamination.

    The location of this restaurant was so close to our room, the pool, and views of the ocean/sunset. Our server, Brenda, was so sweet. Very attentive and personable. Our food was out quickly. Food was great; my chicken was tender and juicy. The vegetables and rice were good too! However, a little overpriced (this is to be expected at any resort restaurant you will be dining at in Maui). All in all, a good experience.

    We just had apps but it was FABULOUS. We had the coconut shrimp and it was the best i've ever had. Hand battered and the sauce is to die for. The Hawaiian sweet rolls had this super unique kimchee aioli that we loved. We sat outside and watched the sunset so our atmosphere was PERFECT. Our server was fabulous. No complaints!!

    Hawaiian Poke Bowl
    brad s.

    First day on Maui I went to the pool. I ordered the Ahu Poke Bowl and looked like a modern art masterpiece. Fresh fish marinated in shoyu over rice, with pickled vegetables. After taking my first bite I almost jumped out of my chair with my head about to explode from flavor overload, This was very fresh and a perfect size for me. It was a bit pricey but I believe it was worth the price to have at least one time while on vacation.

We shared dishes that featured Truffle Fries, Prime Rib Steak bites, Pipikaula Jerky, a Kampachi Filet and Fettuccine Alfredo. Cocktails were good, but nothing too special. Food was colorful and tasty, it came out quickly seeing that the resort wasn't jam packed like we've seen it before.

I ordered the Pandan Killer Milk punch, which is 8yr aged rum, Planteray Cut & dry rum, pandan liquer, clarified coconut, pineapple, vanilla, lime, and nutmeg. I was truly blown away! It's simple presentation was deceitful in the best way possible. All flavors were beautifully captured and left nothing else to be desired. The Pina Colada on the other hand....my friend felt extremely underwhelmed. The other two cocktails we had in the party were the Ultra Violet Seventy Five, which was very gin-forward and the Snoop PPOG, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Aside from the Pina Colada, we had a great first experience at Tikehau Lounge! Would visit again and certainly recommend!

Definitely recommend that drink if you like something fruity and chill! The food was amazing! Like everything was soooooo good! My favorite was the Japanese A5 Wagyu! Definitely get that if you don't mind splurging a bit! One of the best steaks I've had in my life! The prawns skewer were huge (beware it has all its body parts if that grosses you out) and they were cooked to perfection and the flavor was great! The salmon hand rolls were another level of salmon! Yummmm is all I gotta say! P.S. the hotel wailea burger is really good as well and that patty is thick! It has an interesting flavor cause it's dry aged so if you are not a fan of that then don't get that as it's a flavor! But def worth it and filling! The staff were great and helpful in suggesting items and they are quick! Do order the drinks in advance if the place is packed and everyone goes ham on those drinks! Will definitely be back next time we visit!

Adequate ventilation and air conditioning, good assortment of cardio, weight machines, Smith machine, and free weights. Laundry room, including detergent and dryer sheets, are free to use.

There is an adults only pool in front of the spa, but it's not consistently heated and no ocean views. Free mineral sunblock at every towel station (SPF 30 and 50).

The rest of the resort fee activities were a nice add-on (e.g. smores at sunset, ukulele lessons, bingo, photography session). Cocktails were not great. Stick to the beer and wine. Breakfast buffet was good enough, but inconsistent and nothing exciting. Veggie fried rice was really good the first day, but lacked flavor the next day. Longans were a nice touch, but wasn't available every day (and no other specialty fruit replacement out of the ordinary selection).
