There are two locations on Maui—one in Wailea on the South Side, and one in Kaanapali on the West Side.
If you can only choose one, we'd recommend going to the one on the West side, solely for your closer proximity to the water and the beautiful views. (Although, don't get me wrong, the Wailea one also has a fantastic atmosphere).
Local musicians play every day at multiple times throughout the afternoon. Feel free to check out their events calendar to see who you can expect and plan your visit around the music.
