beachhouse at the moana - Afternoon Tea

Beachhouse at the Moana offers afternoon tea daily along with their normal lunch service. You can enjoy tea on the veranda with the banyan tree and views of Waikiki Beach. The Moana classic tea ($45) comes with 2 mini scones, 5 savory finger sandwiches, 5 mini desserts, a mini scoop of green tea lemongrass sorbet, and a pot of tea. If you want the ultimate afternoon tea experience, go with the First Lady of Waikiki upgrade for an extra $20 and receive a glass of sparkling rosé, berries with creme fraiche, and a souvenir fan.

The outside seating is relaxing and breezy. If you reserve early, you can get the tables at the end of the veranda and your view of the ocean will not be obstructed. The service from the staff were excellent and even though we finished eating, they did not rush us to leave. The dress code is resort wear so shorts and a t-shirt is acceptable but maybe have covered shoes or a nice pair of sandals. The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking with validation but hotel guest(s) have priority if the valet is full. There is also self-parking available in the Princess Kaiulani Hotel across the street; just remember to get your validation. If you plan to come on the weekend for tea, reservations are recommended to get a table with better views on the veranda.

The Veranda - Afternoon Tea

The Veranda at The Kahala Hotel & Resort offers afternoon tea daily from 2pm - 5:30pm and 3pm - 5:30pm on Sundays. If you're coming for the first time, I recommend the classic tea service ($50) which comes with 2 mini scones, 4 savory finger sandwiches, 4 mini desserts, and a pot of tea. If you're celebrating a special occasion, go for the royal tea service ($60) which includes a glass of champagne with a strawberry. The service is excellent and the staff are friendly. The dress code is resort wear so coming in shorts and a t-shirt is acceptable but you are sitting near the lobby and guests do walk by as you're dining. The restaurant offers complimentary valet parking with validation. If you plan to come on the weekend for tea, reservations are highly recommended.
