10 Best Cocktail Bars near Waikoloa Village

“Wow! Loved the tasting and the information that Ricardo shared. So much fun! Go and enjoy!“

“Terrific experience, great food, great dessert“

“Enjoyed this place on our stay. The entire Kona lineup of beers, plenty of other wine and cocktail choices. Bar keeps are great and know alot about the island. Live local music every night, some nights way better then others. We had all inclusive so hard to talk about pricing but beers i believe where 10 and cocktails 18.“

“I brought Chef Allen Hess my freshly caught fish. He expertly prepared it into culinary art! The atmosphere and service is top notch, as well as the flavors and presentation. Do yourself a favor and order a few oyster shooters as well. 🤤“

“Halani has consistently great service, food & ambience. We're told they are shifting to a more Mediterranean type of cuisine and I anticipate the quality level will remain high. As residents of the Big Island (and though we love the ocean-front Four Seasons Beach Tree), Halani is our favorite dining spot.“

“i had the ribs... delicious“

“This was our second visit to Halani as the first time was perfect. The hotel is stunning with a lovely relaxed vibe, staff are genuinely warm and friendly. I had the blackened ahi steak on both visits as it's so good, rare tuna with a lovely spiced coating and Asian influence in the coconut curried giant couscous. Try the deserts! The baked Hawaiian was a tropical take on baked Alaska, and the bread pudding was light and delicious. We'll be back again I hope.“

“Chef Soto’s every dish tonight was fabulous! From the salads to the entrees to the dessert, we loved every bite. Oftentimes eating out at resorts can be expensive and mediocre at best. But that was not the case at Meridia and we were absolutely pleasantly surprised. Thank you Meridia, for a wonderful night out.“

“This restaurant obviously has it all going for itself with the location, on top of that the food and drinks are incredible but what makes it incredible is the service. Cristalle (sorry if I spelled this wrong) went ABOVE and beyond to make our dining experience incredible. She was so funny and engaging and made every effort to accommodate dietary restrictions for an amazing dining experience. Hopefully she remembers this quote but she was truly the “McGogger of the day”! She is an asset to the hotel and truly defines what hospitality means.“

“The outdoor-like environment allowed us to enjoy our meal in an open environment although we were situated on the inner side of the restaurant. The service was very good. The staff was efficient, courteous, and attentive. My wife had ribs and the meat fell of the bone. I enjoyed the pan fried ono. Each dish was filling and very flavorful. We also had a chocolate dipped ice cream dessert that was large enough for both of us to enjoy. It was the topping on top of an already great dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent!“
