    Delicious food, top notch tea and wonderful service! We celebrated husbands birthday and enjoyed the full high tea experience, we laughed, loved the ambience and feeling the trade wind. What a lovely afternoon. Thank you Halekulani for the memories and spectacular food. Just as great as 12 years ago. Love the Golden Assam tea!

    I enjoyed the tea there. Its best on the island i think. Just wish the scones were a little bigger. There was t as much food as I usually expect and portions were kind of small. But very tasty. Liked the lemon-poppy financiers. Glad to see they are back. The mango cream puff was delicious along with the little sandwiches. Hope next time they'll make a lilikoi dessert or perhaps some lillikoi curd. Yum!

    The ambience is beautiful 🤩 For an afternoon tea at that price to get a teabag instead of leaf tea was very disappointing.

    Overall a good experience, but it used to be better. The arrival experience was a bit lacking and not welcoming. Service was good once the server did not seem overwhelmed. We found most of the desserts too sweet with the exception of the currant scones. The tea selection was quite nice but 3 of the choices were out.

    The hotel was beautiful but the sandwiches were dry and desserts were too sweet. Great tea selection but pricey for bad food.
