Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa @ Grand Wailea

Question

I've seen social media posts of the bar at Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa. Can anyone go in for a drink or do you have to stay at the hotel? Looking at the website, it looks like it's only open for breakfast and dinner.

Answer

Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa at the Grand Wailea is primarily a full-service restaurant, and its main hours are breakfast and dinner. The bar inside the restaurant is generally reserved for guests who are dining, so casual walk-ins for just drinks without a reservation are limited.

However, it is possible to enjoy a drink there if you are seated at the bar, but availability depends on how busy the restaurant is, and hotel policies can sometimes restrict non-guests from entering the dining areas. Most visitors report that if the restaurant is not full, the staff may accommodate you for a cocktail, but it’s not guaranteed.

If your goal is to experience the bar atmosphere without a full meal, here are some tips:

Call ahead to the restaurant and ask about the possibility of a drink at the bar as a non-dining guest.
Consider making a dinner reservation and arriving a bit early to enjoy the bar and view.
Check with the hotel concierge or front desk, as they sometimes can arrange seating for non-guests at the bar during quieter periods.

In summary, while the bar at Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa is not strictly open to everyone for casual drinks, with a reservation or a polite inquiry, you may be able to enjoy a drink there. For a more guaranteed experience, booking dinner or breakfast is the safest option.
