    Naupaka is the informal beachside/poolside restaurant at the Westin. It is a wonderful place to watch the Hawaiian sunset. My wife and I have eaten there twice. She raves about the salad. I had a great catch of the day and a very good cheeseburger. This is a fun, convenient alternative to the fancier restaurants at Westin and Mauna Kea.

    Can't get a much better place to sit and watch the sun go down over the ocean. Perfect casual and comfortable place with good food and drinks.

    Food choices are okay - basic beach fare. Prices are reasonable. Family friendly. Service was a bit slow

    This restaurant is the casual one next to the pool at the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. It is not the more upscale Meridia which is one level up. That being said, our food and drinks were very good here. I had the Chinese Chicken Salad, my husband had the fresh catch sandwich and we both had Pina Colada's (gotta have at least one tropical drink while on vacation!). Loved all the different ingredients in my salad - they were all fresh and tasty but I wish they had used the standard Chinese Chicken Salad dressing instead of a hoisin balsamic dressing. And the salad was quite large. I could only eat half of it. Hubby said his fish sandwich was delish and so were his fries. Plus the Pina Colada's were some of the best we've had in awhile. Loved the ambiance of sitting poolside in the evening and listening to the waves crashing on the shore.

    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!
