Whalers village is a good place to wander and pursue the shops but the restaurants are chaos! We were booked into Hula grill for dinner, we were celebrating our 40th anniversary. It was chaos. Our table was right in amongst the crowds, chaos and crazy. We opted to cancel and walk back to the calm and enjoyment of our digs at the Hyatt. We have been here since Christmas Eve and have been embraced at Japengo, Uma, Mala Ocean Taven and Honu Oceanside. All have been amazing for service, food and ambiance,, but nothing prepared us for our welcome at Hula in whalers village!!! It was a very sad experience! My advice - please don’t go!!!

At Kaanapalli Whalers village is the place to spend time with family and friends. Monkeypod is one of the best places to eat. Lot of shopping and casual dining options . Hula grill is another place for dining. These restaurants will need reservations. It’s on the shore so you can watch a great sunset and head over for dinner. Parking will be validated for 2 hours at any of these restaurants.
