Bartenders are amazing!
Friendly service and bartenders. Nice sunset views at bar/poolside.
Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere! Food and drinks were well above average for Maui. So, if you're from a foodie city, this is quite a reprieve from the standard low quality/large portion style meals you'll find on the island. I absolutely recommend giving this spot a try, especially around sunset when the beautiful view really shines.
Service was prompt and full of Aloha.
