Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Naupaka offers a serene poolside dining experience with "beautiful sunset views" and "great service." Guests appreciate the "friendly staff" and enjoyable atmosphere. The menu includes delicious options like pork ribs and Poke bowls, though some note the food could be more consistent. Ideal for sunset dinners with stunning ocean views.

    Great varied menu, should be enough for May people to find something to their liking. They only have one lager on the menu, but they were out with no suitable replacement. That was disappointing considering they are a beachside bar and grill. The sunset view is top notch.

    Libby, our waitress was amazing! She went above and beyond for us and made us feel so welcomed even though we showed up at 8:45pm she even got me a blanket to cover my shoulders because it was a chilly night. She was so sweet and wonderful!!!

    Service was great at first and lessened after a large party group arrived in our section (expected, and still good just not great). Food was good and consistent with other visits. Noise level was perfect when we arrived, super loud after the large group arrived. Will continue to visit as we do still enjoy!!

    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.
