Lehua Lounge

If you’re staying at the Andaz, this is a must-try place for drinks! And we ordered food from them the first day that we were there and on the last day as well when we were packing up, and the room service was incredible! Sarah, the room service delivery lady, was so sweet and kind! The food turned out to be amazing. Highly recommend for casual food and drinks if you’re at the beach and at the infinity pools all day long at the resort!!!

The bar is situated overlooking the top pool on the Hema tower side of the Andaz hotel. Atmosphere: the view around sunset and after can’t get much better than this. As the food is served poolside all the plates and glasses are shatterproof. (Plastic) The vibe is relaxed and upbeat with music emanating (not too loud) from the bar. I enjoyed seeing the bartender bounce to the beat while serving up drinks. Food: the quality of the fish tacos (tender fish and stuffed tacos) and mochiko chicken bowl (crispy and spicy) is high. The serving size was on the small side, which I appreciated. However you could say lower value for money. Service: a team of servers came to our table to take requests, bring our food and drinks and check-in. I love to see great teamwork. Thanks for a great first meal at the hotel.

Nick and Phil were an absolute pleasure!!!! Our waiter Phil was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. Nick came around our table to help clear and enhance our experience. We loved having him around…. He was such a ray of sunshine, and joy to chat to! We plan to come back, and we would specifically request these two! Best duo! Thanks Nick, Phil and Andaz for the absolute best experience! We look forward to next time!!!! :) - Savannah & Samantha

Staff and team are absolutely Incredible! Food was perfect! The live music was exceptional. I highly recommend the Lehua Lounge. It's an all around 5 stars, every time I've been in.

We had such a great time grabbing drinks and lunch at lehua lounge. The service was fantastic and the food was great too. We ordered the fries, Burrata, and Mac and cheese. We also had espresso martinis that were made perfectly. Food was simple but delicious! Can’t go wrong. Also the view was amazing!

⭐ 3/5 - Overpriced and Underwhelming for a Luxury Resort We visited Lehua Lounge at the Andaz Resort, expecting a high-end experience to match the resort’s reputation and prices, but the visit fell short in several ways. While not everything was terrible, the food and drinks failed to justify the exorbitant costs, and the atmosphere and service were disappointing. Drinks We ordered two cocktails at $22 each, and while the presentation was nice, the quality didn’t match the price tag. I chose the Island Mai Tai after reading glowing reviews but found it average at best—certainly not the “amazing” experience I had hoped for. My wife’s cocktail wasn’t memorable either. For $44 total, the drinks were unimpressive and left us feeling like we’d wasted our money. Food The food was acceptable but nowhere near worth the price. • The poke bowl was decent, but it was mostly rice with only a small portion of fish. At a more reasonable price, it might have been enjoyable, but not at the premium they’re charging. • The edamame, typically a simple favorite, was disappointing. My wife found it unappetizing and only managed a few bites. I thought it was okay, but definitely not up to par for a place of this caliber. For a small bowl of edamame, a poke dish, and two subpar cocktails, our total came to just under $100 (excluding tip). At this price point, we expected far better quality and portion sizes. Service The service was mediocre. While the waitress wasn’t rude, she wasn’t friendly or attentive either—just going through the motions. For a resort where rooms often exceed $1,000 per night, the service should feel warm and inviting, which it did not. Ambiance The setting of Lehua Lounge is surprisingly underwhelming. It’s an outdoor bar setup that wouldn’t stand out at a mid-tier resort. During the day, the light-reflective rocks on the ground cause glare, making it uncomfortable to enjoy the view. What really soured the experience was witnessing staff enforce rules unnecessarily. Two resort guests with takeout food attempted to sit at a far-off table, but they were told the lounge was “for paying customers only.” Given that the lounge was almost empty, this came across as tacky and unwelcoming, especially at a resort of this caliber. Final Thoughts While the food wasn’t horrible, it was nowhere near good enough to justify the prices. The drinks were lackluster, the service was average, and the ambiance failed to impress. For a resort charging $1,000+ per night, Lehua Lounge feels like a missed opportunity. If you’re looking for a luxurious dining experience, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. It’s not a complete disaster, but it’s far from being worth the price. Save your money for a better option.

Having explore the beaches and restaurants around South Kihei, we decided to catch the sunset from the open air poolside restaurant of Andaaz hotel. The staff were courteous and the wine and drinks were good. Spent a couple of hours till the sun went down listening to a couple of musicians sing popular Hawaiian and english songs. The walkway along the beach is also good to explore.

I started every day in Wailea here. The view and atmosphere cannot be beat, and it’s very easy to just sit down and grab a snack. Their kampachi ceviche is divine— light and refreshing so it can be eaten anytime, yet substantial enough to make for a meal. The staff are phenomenal and even offer to get or take away towels if you decide to dip into the pool inches away.
