That's it. We'd been told not to eat here from the Makana Market Cafe, but to instead go to a different Fairmont restaurant. We should have heeded their advice! I knew eating on grounds for convenience would be expensive, but expected it to at least taste good! We ordered two different Poke bowls and both, even though seasoned differently (and visually appealing!), were bland and blah. The cookie we got was good, but very expensive. The naan tuna sandwich was acceptable. Guess if you need to eat here for convenience, go for the Naan tuna. SKIP the good looking Poke bowls!The market does offer various sundries and coffee bar. We didn't purchase any of that, but they are there if you need them.Aloha OklahomaMomOf3 and thank you for sharing your honest feedback regarding your recent MAKANA Market + Cafe experience. We welcome all reviews - good, bad and honest - as a way to grow and improve any guest experience. Please know your comments about our poke bowls and cookies have been taken to heart and will be addressed by our Director of Food and Beverage and Executive Chef. We hope that you'll give us a second chance during your next Fairmont Kea Lani stay to deliver the five-star experience you deserve.Warmest aloha,Lisa Nordstrom

Along beach walk on Marriott property, faces ocean. Small area with tables and chairs, a small sandy area with adirondacks and firepit (at night you can make smores, complimentary for hotel guests). Food was okay, good enough but a Maui Mule costs $17 and beer for $12 served for in a can so you are paying RESORT prices. The gentleman taking our order was very friendly, super helpful and nice. He offered smores to us as guests but the area was full so we passed. We opted for a table on just one side of the beach walk and watched the sunset. It was a beautiful place to watch it from.Cheap eats at mid to fine dining prices depending on where you're from. We spent $69 for 1 beer, 1 Maui Mule, 1 flatbread and 1 order of Nachos. However real estate is expensive, it's at a resort and look at the view. Only ate here once, you can catch a free sunset just down the beach walk.Closes at 7:00 pm

This small shop in the Wailea Gateway center makes great sandwiches. Fresh bread, good ingredients, and very large sized sandwiches. Service was friendly and sandwiches were quickly made. Great place to stop and get food before heading to the beach.
