Modeled after a traditional village, Tidepools typifies Hawaiian-style. The Lounge at Tidepools represents the community dining area in a traditional village, offering near 360 degree views and a variety of seating options. Tidepools is a great place to take in the brilliant colors of the sunset and moonrise while sipping a cool cocktail, wine from our 200 bottle wine cellar, a tempting tropical or beer. A tiki-torch lit evening and Kauai’s amazing starlit skies top the setting as the flavors of the Island come to life in each delectable dish.
