Tropica Restaurant at the Westin Kaanapali

Tropica

Tropica is the upscale restaurant at the Westin Maui Resort Hotel on Kaanapali Beach. It's at 2365 Kaanapali Parkway, in the Kaanapali resort area, a couple miles north of Lahaina. Phone 808-667-2525.

Tropica is open-air, with the tables closest to the ocean being uncovered, and the tables in the back of the restaurant covered by a high ceiling. The views, especially at sunset, are beautiful. The tables nearest the Kaanapali beachwalk are great for people-watching. The food is good, but in my opinion not good enough to warrant the high prices. I like the food better at other Kaanapali restaurants that are not quite as expensive, such as Hula Grill or Cane and Taro (both at Whalers Village right next door to the Westin).

If you are staying in the Westin and you want fine dining without leaving the hotel, then Tropica is the place for dinner. See below for some menu items and food photos.
