Guidebook for Waikoloa Village
Food Scene
Sansei is great and even better if you go there during their late night happy hour on Friday or Saturday, or their early bird special on Sunday or Monday when almost all food items are half off of regular price. Sit at the sushi bar and get a complimentary order of edamame or sit at the bar for better service.

very casual and non pretentious. Not like the other Thai place at the Queens' marketplace. This one is not expensive. The orange chicken is their best seller. I like the chow fun.

This is a feet in the sand beach bar and restaurant on the end of Anaehoomalu Bay facing west for sunsets. Go to the happy hour and try the teriyaki edamame or the Club Med plate. I don't recommend for dinner. I think of it more as a sunset bar and appetizer place.

Best fish sandwich on the island or any island. Sit at the bar, it's entertaining just to watch some of the patrons. This is a local hang-out for sure. I've been going there for about 35 years and order the same thing every time. The ono fish sandwich! yeah...

The only juice place within easy range!!
Custom juices, uptown prices. But, if you gotta have a healthy juice, go. I call it a secret spot cause if you don't know, you'll miss it. It's behind the Foodland Farms grocery store in the Shops at Mauna Lani.

new age hippie health food restaurant, pricey but you're worth it. Everyone working there is high on wheatgrass or whatever.
I like it when I feel spendy.

Essentials
Go directly to the back deli counter to the right side of store and select one of the best sandwich deals ever. Huge sandwiches ready to go for $6. Wow. Also, it's the closest pharmacy. 15 minute drive for a REAL grocery store.
This is where I fill up my large water bottles and stock up on essentials. Check the bargains out on the mail-outs in the front of the store by the registers.

Parks & Nature
my favorite beach for swimming in clear protected water. Gotta get there before 8A to get one of the highly sought after parking spots. There free but limited to a very small number and all of the sleepy heads will be turned away starting about 8:30. Check both ends of the beach b/c it's always a little clearer on one end or the other.

Fantastic historical site. Plus, one can snorkel just outside the entrance to the park where there is a small boat ramp providing easy ingress to the ocean. Lot's of turtles in the area. I've had guests give it a 5 star snorkeling rating. But go in the park first, or after. It's worth the small entry fee.

Getting Around
This is one option for getting to the condo. It is not as fast as a taxi, b/c it will make stops on the way, but it is less expensive. Once you get to the resort, you can walk to the stores, rent a bike at one of two places (see this guide book) or hop on the resort shuttle for 2 bucks, but it stops only at the Marriott, the Hilton, the Queens' Marketplace and the Kings' Shops.

This is a shuttle that is designed to take tourists from the Hilton and the Marriott to the Kings' Shops and the Queens' Marketplace. Those are the only 4 stops. Cost is 2 bucks. It does not stop at my condo complex but maybe the driver would let you out at the drive way. Ask first.
