    Very busy but the manager Bonnie was all over everything. We were early and ended up grabbing dinner at the bar due to a flash rain shower. Jerry the bartender was fantastic and attentive and made exceptional cocktails. Nice happy hour from 5-7.

    We had a really good experience. Bonnie, the GM, was very great. She was hospitable and made us feel very welcomed, checking on us. The hostess and server were very friendly and the service was good. The food was very good. We had the burger, poke nachos, calamari, fish tacos and edamame; all delicious. Thank you very much!

    What a surprise. We came for a casual meal, but didn’t expect much other than a nice atmosphere. However, the food was really good and the service was excellent. Sat outside near the pool and the evening was really nice. We will definitely be back.

    受付からとても感じのよい接客でした。 お料理も美味しかったです。 一品が多いですが、色々と食べたかったので、一部ハーフサイズがあるのは日本人にとって有り難かったです。 いい時間をありがとうございます。

    We especially enjoyed the warm, friendly, professional, and accommodating service at this casual poolside restaurant. The “Eat Well Menu” offers additional healthy selections, including the delicious hearts of palm, avocado, cherry tomato, and butter leaf lettuce salad, and seared Ahi Takaki. The petite half roast chicken with locally grown vegetables over mashed potatoes was attractively plated and excellent. Ice cream desserts are made with locally made Tropical Dreams ice cream. The ganache chocolate shell covered ice cream “Tartuffo” is huge - easily large enough for two to share. We enjoyed dining at this comfortable restaurant very much.

    We have eaten at Naupaka many times, and last night was the best by far. The menu has been expanded and offers tempting new entrees, including an eggplant pinwheel lasagna, which my husband thought was excellent. I had the Cobb salad with shrimp instead of chicken which was outstanding. The ingredients were fresh and delicious; it's a new take on an old classic. The new manager was friendly and interested in our dining experience. I highly recommend checking out Naupaka.

    Restaurant was clean and the food was good waitress was very nice. She even offered me a guest towel after an unexpected gust of wind blew over my glass of mango mimosa and spilled all over my shirt soaking me. Why I’m giving 2 stars is because Naupaka would not except my Mariott gift card for payment and the manger would not even come to my table to discuss this manner in person. My waitress had to walk back and forth many times to settle our bill situation. She did the best she could. I give her 5 stars! I had to pay for my party of three out of pocket. Very unfortunate for me and I will not be returning to Naupaka. but hopefully my review will help others
