Beautiful setting and all the food was excellent. Great cocktails and wine menu. While we love the Beach house restaurant, we felt the food overall at Hualani’s was outstanding. Plus Hualani’s has a great outdoor fire pit to relax after dinner. It is within walking distance of Marriot Beach Club too.

Fairly expensive, but we figured that. All the food was well prepared with good presentation. But the fillet medallion was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned.
