Entertainment nightly and plenty of grub. Plus an every day $5 lunch special. Happy Hour specials: Mai Tai $1, $2, or $6 liter. Bud, Bud Light, Rolling Rock and Coors, $2.50 16oz, $3.50 24oz Stella and Shock Top

Definition of a Surf Lounge: Not just for Spicoli types. Surfboards may embellish their large air conditioned lounge, but the surfing is done on your okole, from the comfy leather sofas or the chairs and bar stools. Grab a glass of liquid luxury, surf's up!

Decor: You have three atmospheres of cool in which to enjoy your amazing food here: there is the ocean and sunset view al fresco lanai right on Front Street; the inner circle, elegant table and chairs, the bar seating, booths that overlook the inside of the kitchen and the luxe couches; and last the back patio where the dj plays next to the satellite bar and you can drink under the stars (hence the Sky Lounge was born) and sit on cushy outdoor couches among flora and fauna.

Cliff Dive Bar in the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa 2605 Kaanapali Pkwy., Lahaina, 661-0031 Location: On the Kaanapali strip of resorts, right next to Black Rock. Decor: Beach, sunshine, ocean views, whales, chicks in bikinis, shirtless dudes, happy

The Royal Lahaina Resort was built in 1962 and is still going strong as a Kaanapali destination. Nestled along the Kaanapali strip, but on the Honokowai side of Black Rock, and full of old school charm. They have recently stepped up their entertainment and committed to a concert series kicking off with Five for Fighting in April and Toad the Wet Sprocket in May. Their latest announcement is the renovation of their lawns, and the opening of the Oceanfront Barefoot Bar.

The preparation of cocktails and enjoying them is changing. Going out for cocktails is just as much a farm to glass phenomenon following the dining trends and elevating the cocktail experience and culture. No longer a social-lubricating afterthought, they are used to stimulate the appetite, or as an aid in digestion. Capische? in the Hotel Wailea is hands down one of the sexiest places on-island to sip a drink. It could be their intimate settting of only nine tables here. Or the breathtaking views of the ocean, sunset is glorious here. The restaurant's old world charm is very european and alluring. Despite all these attractions I think it is the passion in the kitchen and behind the bar that really heats things up here.

With the opening of Pita Paradise Wailea, the Arabatzis family has more than a few generations of Mediterranean cuisine experience to share with us, the culture of food runs deep in Greece. Did you know people have been eating feta cheese since the Byzantine? It was good then and it rocks now.
