The service was great - everyone was super friendly but not intrusive. Our waiter helped us take photos also! The location is amazing, and I'd highly recommend reserving a time near sunset. Once the sun goes down, there's lights strung up across the patio, and a warm breeze even in December. Food was delicious too! I got the lamb and it was so tender. Big win on the green beans as well. We really liked the calamari appetizer and the bread!

I'm glad there is a place to have drinks after golf, i wish it had a more extensive menu.

If I had written this last year, when my family and I had the most magical meal of our trip, it would have been a five star review. For some reason, everything we got on this most recent visit - particular the special, which we got talked into trying - was a huge swing and a miss. I mean everything. Not sure why happened. The sunset view, if you've timed your reservation correctly, is as beautiful as ever at the beach club, and the service affable and professional, but the food feels sadly unreliable to me now. Adding one star (to what should really be a three star review at best) for the guitarist, who played 真夏の果実 as we were walking out.

Our first dinner here in Big Island is at this place. Wife and I are celebrating our anniversary in this island so for the next few days we will be trying several highly rated restaurants. First is Napua at mauna Lani. The place is situated with great view of the beach. They don't have a long list of items in the menu but I suppose all are good. The calamari is a 'must' try. Tender and tasty. The fresh catch of the day is also amazing. I ordered the pork ribs. The sauce or glazing on top is so good. For the drink... try the one with tanduay. I forgot what is called. The martini is also very good. They have live music that compliments the outdoor dining. Our server Jasmine is so nice and will give her high-five for that. Overall experience is worth 4.7

Amazing dinner, service, and setting. Just beautiful. The food was top-notch. I had the kampachi, which was the chefs special. I can't even describe how good this was. The flavor combinations were off the charts. Just unreal! The salad was delicious. Love the mix of greens, strawberries, goat cheese, and greens was perfect. My wife had the Mahi Mahi and loved it. I had a bite, really good, but not as good as the kampachi. The brownie dessert was delicious. Probably the best brownie dessert we've ever had at a restaurant. Our server was great. The setting is spectacular. If you're looking for a great date night place, you can't go wrong here.

If you looking for a very nice restaurant for a special occasion or just want to treat yourselves while you're on the Big Island, Napua is the place. An open air restaurant located in Mauna Lani area, overlooking the beach. Best time to go right before Sunset. I have been here a couple of times and enjoyed it every time. The ambiance is what you expect of a nice restaurant on the beach. The staff is always nice, helpful & friendly. Some times the restaurant will also have live music in the evenings. The food has always been excellent. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. The cost is $$$, but for a special evening it is worth it. Looking forward to the next time I visit.

Napua is a favorite of ours when we are on the Big Island. The restaurant is located in the Mauna Lani Resort. We enjoyed our cocktails, a Spicy Margarita the perfect balance of heat and the Old Fashioned was garnished with a delicious Amarena cherry. We both ordered the Mahi Mahi special, served on top of a polenta cake with a romesco sauce. Freshly caught Mahi Mahi, moist, mild, semi sweet and flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly, we dined at the bar. The views of the cove from Napua especially at sunset together with outstanding service and delectable food keeps us returning every time we are on the Big Island.
