Perched alongside the walkway by the Army Museum and handball courts, this small hut offers affordable cocktails without too much Waikiki “paradise tax.” With its self-proclaimed “Best Mai Tai on the Beach” going for less than $10 a pop, you can taste-test one or three and decide for yourself.

This poolside bar is located in the middle of the Aulani Disney Resort and Spa, steps away from the Ko Olina Beach. The open-air shack is designed to look like a modern fisherman’s seaside dock – covered with fishhooks, cowry-shell lures and shark-tooth knives. Their delicious Sunshine Splash cocktail is made with rum, orange liqueur, and pineapple and is definitely one to try out.
