ATMOSPHERE: Ikena (formerly known as the Grand Dining Room) is the located in the atrium of the Grand Wailea Resort. Open air, high ceilings and a gorgeous ocean view with available outdoor seating. Due to it being Pride Month, they had a themed event called "Rosé & Rainbows", complete with a DJ playing dance music, a rainbow balloon-decorated social media setup, even rainbow layered cake. HIGHLIGHTS: -Snow crab (clusters & claws; nice & fresh; drawn butter is brought to table) -Lobster claws -Oysters -Shrimp cocktail -Pokē -Prime rib -Pork loin -Korean fried chicken wings (very tasty) -Steamed fish (cream sauce with spinach & cherry tomatoes; excellent) -Dim sum (potstickers & shu mai) -Crabcake benedict -Omelette station (nice selection of ingredients) -Breakfast potatoes (but no hash browns) -Soup (egg drop, very good especially with cracked black pepper) -Breads & pastries -Ube waffles (hard & crumbly from sitting under the heat lamp; avoid) -French toast (mainstream; ube whipped cream available) -Assorted desserts, including vanilla bean ice cream -Make your own Bloody Mary station (extra charge) -Mimosas, cocktails & wine (extra charge) SERVICE: Harold was our friendly & attentive server. Great job! TIP: 20% kama'aina discount! OVERALL: Not crowded which was great. Adequate selections, relaxing vibe. Not many brunches offer crab but Ikena does!

The breakfast buffet here is extremely overpriced and they have a limited food selection. While…read morethey do have an omelette station, and a good view that's about it. You can get a similar breakfast for free at other hotels, yet this place charges $57 per person. Even if we got a $25 per person dining credit, the price is still not justifiable and we were extremely disappointed. I overheard someone leaving their table in disappointment, saying, "This is the most expensive buffet in the world... IN THE WORLD!" I couldn't agree more. I don't mind paying a steep price if the quality is good, but their food quality is subpar. Even their bacon was overcooked, and the quiche wasn't done right. To make matters worse, the place is infested with wild birds that eat at the tables! As soon as I stood up to get something, my husband told me the birds immediately went for my plate. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. There are far better options with better quality in Kihei/South Maui Gardens. Don't make the same mistake we did.

I love this four seasons so much. The views are fantastic, the staff?? Wow does their staff deserve…read moreso much praise! I have never been to a hotel that pays more attention to detail than this four seasons. I never felt so welcomed and so cared for at any hotel I've ever been to around the entire world. I wish I could give more stars. They gave us a hand written letter welcoming us to their hotel, with an unexpected bottle of champagne. They even remembered my favorite drink that their bartender made for me downstairs and had a whole bottle of it in my hotel room when I walked in after a long night. I almost cried because of the attention to detail, that was so sweet and considerate of them to remember something so specific. Everything was also very pristine and clean, which is something I'm very picky about. I absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it to everyone. If you can stay here or are ever considering it, PLEASE stay here I think everyone deserves and needs to experience the hospitality and beautiful architecture and atmosphere and views they have to offer.

Just lovely! Just before sunset, a conch blower came, then lit all the tiki torches from the lobby, down to the beach.

The fire dance was on the lawn at 7pm-- it was really something! Thrilling! It was great to get a taste of Hawaiian cultural performance without paying for a full luau (I called around to all the Wailea luaus and no one offered a "show only" option for someone with a restricted diet (they suggested I pay full price and just not eat).

Food The Caesar Salad had good flavor, though the dressing was a bit heavy. The croutons were excellent. The Fish Tacos Pupu were a standout happy hour deal. The fish was fresh and fried to a crispy golden brown. The Pork Sliders on the happy hour menu were also very tasty. Overall, it's a great spot to take advantage of a solid happy hour.

We had the ahi on the rock, honey lavender shrimp, and seafood laulau. Everything was delicious, and I loved that the honey lavender shrimp can be ordered either as an appetizer or an entrée. One of the cutest touches was the little shot of sugar cane juice that tied into the restaurant's name and story. I also really appreciated hearing from the staff about the cultural and historical considerations surrounding Hawaiʻi's plantation era. It added another layer to the experience beyond just having a great meal. Our server, Cass, made the evening even better. Cass was attentive, friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. Overall, an extremely positive experience from beginning to end. Great food, thoughtful storytelling, wonderful service, and a perfect date-night setting. We'll definitely be back!

My cousin and I were excited to go to their Sunday Brunch. I've been several years ago and it was…read moredelicious. This was his 1st time. I saw the Sunday Brunch deal on my Facebook with a Free Pool Pass for the month of June! We couldn't pass that up. Because we went on the very last Sunday in June, it was real busy with visitors staying at the hotel and locals alike taking advantage of this Summer deal so we expected it. We got maybe 2-3 plates each. My cousin took advantage of the proteins first. He went straight to get the Ko Rosemary Crusted Prime Rib with the Horseradish and Au Jus which was delicious and our top favorite. He wasn't a big fan of the Mochiko Chicken, he said it was a bit dry. I started off with the selection of appetizers like the Ulu & Potato Mac Salad, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Waipoli Baby Greens with Papaya Seed Dressing and Poi! I loved it all. I was pretty naive and put the scrambled eggs and Braised Short Ribs on my plate but didn't realize it was a Loco Moco station lol! That was a fail but the Braised Short Ribs was so tender and is a must if you go. Make sure you make yourself a Loco Moco lol! Other favorites was the Lavender Honey Crispy Shrimp (because there was so many people I got the bottom of the bowl but they refilled it right after), Pork Shumai with Mustard Sauce, and Longanisa (Filipino Sausage with Garlic and Vinegar) with Onions. My coworker told me his stomach got upset from the Ahi a few months ago so I kinda stayed away from the Seared Ahi station (and I love ahi) except for the Vegetable and California Rolls and the Shumai. I took one Kimchee Shrimp just to try but the shrimp didn't taste the best sadly. I was also looking forward to the Pancakes station since I read there's Banana Pancakes and Chantilly Sauce! I do love me some Chantilly but it was mini Regular Pancakes with Strawberry, Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) Butter, and Syrup. I was a bit disappointed but the desserts didn't disappoint and was a hit. Our favorites were the Guava Chiffon Cake which was light and creamy, Hokkaido Cheese Tart, Calamansi Tartelettes and also the Paniolo Banana Rum Cake. I love small desserts-less waste and definitely leaving you satisfied when done right! Overall it was delicious- some hits and a few misses but we both understood it was the last Brunch deal day and had a relaxing Pool day afterwards. We both work in Customer Service/Hospitality and we appreciated the Staff working hard and being so welcoming and friendly, full of aloha.

We chose Ka'ana Kitchen for our final night to celebrate our niece's 15th birthday. Unfortunately, the way restaurant management handled a very simple wine issue completely derailed the evening. My father-in-law ordered a 2018 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon, specifically as listed on the wine menu. The bottle brought to the table was a 2019. We noticed the discrepancy before it was opened and politely pointed it out. This should have taken 30 seconds to resolve: acknowledge the mistake, apologize, and offer an alternative. Instead, our server became defensive and tried to explain why the different vintage should not matter. Restaurant manager Matthew then became involved and continued focusing on why the 2019 was supposedly equivalent. But we were not asking for a discount or debating the quality of the wine. The restaurant listed a 2018 and presented a 2019. That was the entire issue. Matthew told us he had consulted the wine director, Vivi, so we asked to speak with her. That was when the situation became genuinely unacceptable. Rather than simply acknowledging an obvious and easily correctable mistake, Vivi was remarkably defensive, dismissive, and confrontational. She repeatedly told us that vintages "change all the time" and defended the restaurant's handling of the situation. When we pointed out that staff should verify the vintage being presented against what is actually listed on the wine menu, her response was essentially that she would "take that into consideration." The tone was astonishing. We have dined at excellent restaurants throughout the U.S. and internationally, and none of us could recall ever being spoken to by restaurant management that way over such a straightforward issue. Bringing the wrong vintage was a minor mistake. Refusing to own it and treating guests as though they were the problem for pointing it out was the serious failure. Before our entrees arrived, Matthew returned, apologized, and told us the wine would be comped. We appreciated the gesture, but the apology felt more like damage control than genuine ownership of what had happened. He then told us that he had checked the surname on our reservation, realized our family was Korean, and explained that he was Korean as well and that his mother would not have approved of how we had been treated. That was extraordinarily awkward. Why should learning that we were Korean have changed his assessment of whether we had been treated appropriately? Our ethnicity should have had absolutely nothing to do with recognizing that the situation had been mishandled. After that interaction, other staff members delivered our entrees and our server essentially disappeared. I had specifically asked before ordering the ahi whether the kitchen could provide a piece without the prominent tough white connective tissue and was assured the request would be communicated to the chef. The tuna arrived with exactly what I had asked to avoid, and our server never returned to check whether it was acceptable. My 15-year-old niece was also served an expensive steak with a knife so dull she struggled to cut it. Portions of my accompanying noodles were cooked until hard and crunchy. When our server finally returned near the end of the meal and I pointed out the noodles and asked that he show them to the chef, his response was simply, "That's how it's made." The restaurant ultimately comped the wine and took care of several desserts and drinks, which we appreciated. But removing items from a bill after an experience has gone badly is not the same as good service recovery. What began as a trivial wine-list discrepancy became a cascade of defensiveness, a remarkably unpleasant interaction with the wine director, an inappropriate and uncomfortable reference to our ethnicity from the restaurant manager, and then a noticeable breakdown in basic table service. That is especially disappointing because we genuinely love Andaz Maui and return regularly. We had spent a fantastic family vacation together in one of the resort's villas and deliberately chose Ka'ana Kitchen for a milestone birthday dinner on our final evening. Mistakes happen. Great restaurants own them. I sincerely hope Andaz leadership reviews what happened at our table, particularly the conduct of the restaurant manager and wine director. This was not simply an incorrect bottle of wine or a disappointing meal. It was a failure of hospitality and service recovery that warrants serious management attention. Eight members of our family left what should have been a wonderful birthday dinner talking about how badly Ka'ana Kitchen handled something that should have been effortless to correct. That should concern a resort of Andaz Maui's caliber.

We were able to get a table on the patio overlooking the resort, which offered a great view. We chose the breakfast buffet, and there were plenty of options for everyone. The made‑to‑order omelets were excellent--we ordered ours with everything (veggies and meat), and it was perfect. The avocado toast bar was another highlight, and the selection of fresh fruit was impressive. A couple of notes: alcohol isn't served until after 8 a.m., and if you sit on the outdoor patio, be prepared for very active birds--they're constantly swooping around. The view is beautiful, though, so it's still worth it.

After a wonderful stay at the Wailea Beach Resort, this was unfortunately the one major…read moredisappointment of our trip. Humble Market Kitchen feels like a restaurant that knows it has a captive audience and has stopped trying very hard. The food was uninspired, generic, and significantly overpriced for what was delivered. Nothing was particularly bad, but almost nothing was memorable either. Breakfast was especially underwhelming. Skip the buffet. The eggs were watery and soupy, and the "Hawaiian sausage" turned out to be little more than sliced hot dogs. For a resort of this caliber in a destination known for incredible food, it felt surprisingly low effort. Service was probably the strongest part of the experience, but even that was average at best. I'd call it a 6 out of 10. Friendly enough, but not the level of hospitality you'd expect given the prices and setting. The disconnect is especially noticeable because the Wailea Beach Resort itself is fantastic. We genuinely loved our stay and would absolutely return to the property. That's what makes the restaurant so disappointing. It feels like a business operating inside a great resort rather than an extension of the resort experience. If you're staying at the Wailea Beach Resort, do yourself a favor and explore the many excellent dining options around Wailea instead. Maui has too many great restaurants to spend your vacation settling for this one.
