About KAI Bar & Restaurant:
KAI, meaning “sea” or “seaside” in Hawaiian, is our poolside, ocean-view bar featuring a lava stone firepit. KAI offers a full bar with delicious handmade cocktails and a menu of tasty pupu (hors dʻoeuvres) and tapas-inspired plates. KAI is located at the AC Hotel By Marriott Maui.
According to these recent patrons of KAI:
“First time staying at this beautiful hotel and decided to check out their outdoor bar. Luckily it was still happy hour. Our bartender Ui was absolutely friendly, delightful and lovely! We ordered the chicken wings and two drinks. It was the best chicken wings we’ve ever had here in Maui.
The margarita was also fantastic. It’s a very relaxing and peaceful vibe, not crazy busy like most touristy resort bars. The views are fantastic-both ocean and mountain views. This Marriott owned hotel and tiki bar are amazing. The detailed design of everything is absolutely gorgeous. We will return in the future!”

“Happy hour here is fantastic!! They have a gin & tonic made with fresh kiwi juice and yuzu, it’s so delicious! I also love their chicken wings, teriyaki bowl, and kal-bi ribs, it’s all so good!
I’ve already brought my friends, my sisters, and my mom just for an excuse to dine here. It’s a hidden oasis in Wailea and the vibes and view are amazing. The staff is amazing and seem genuinely happy to work here. Just go, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I don’t usually review after one visit but this place is special and deserves to have more than one yelp review. So we only went there for happy hour and sunset. The vibe is delightful, views expansive, and the barstools comfortable and roomy. The latter is more difficult to find than one would think. The design of the place and furnishings are top notch. We were treated to live music and the acoustic guitarist actually played Hawaiian music which is also more difficult to find than one would imagine. The cocktails are expensive (14$) for a maui gin and tonic (FY gin!) but the beers are reasonable, and they have local beers on tap for $5.00. We didn’t try any pupus but they had the full range from greasy offerings to a poke bowl. The bartenders were fun and the 99% hotel guests were there for a good time. We saw whales and a fabulous sunset. This is definitely on my Happy Hour rotation.”
