There are several different options for dining at this property. Ko is the signature restaurant and the only place on Maui to offer plantation inspired cuisine. Nick's Fishmarket is one of Maui's premier seafood restaurants, providing guests with fresh fish and a 2000 bottle wine cellar. The Kea Lani Restaurant is an open-air dining area offering a daily bountiful breakfast buffet and an exceptional à la carte menu service. Caffe Ciao Bakery & Deli is an Italian-style bakery, gift shop and deli, which is ideal for those who wish to build their own picnic for a day of island exploring.

Facilities and Activities
The resort boasts an impressive range of facilities, including the Willow Stream Spa, an extensive swimming pool area and the open-air Luana Lounge, which offers spectacular views of the beautiful Maui sunset. Guests are treated to nightly entertainment from local musicians in the private cabana-esque canopy couches. There is also a fitness centre and laundry services are available.
Our opinion
A great choice in Maui, offering value for money in the most luxurious part of the island. Located on the quieter Polo Beach, the Kea Lani, while large, offers a quiet oasis away from the crowds of Maui's west coast. A good choice for families in the summer time (June- September) and in the low season (October – May) it is a great option for honeymooners.
