After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Everything about the Hawaiian Islands screams tropical paradise, including many our remarkable restaurants. While tiki bars can easily be considered a dime a dozen here in the Aloha State, there are few options that cater perfectly to locals and tourists alike. Keoki’s Paradise is just one such restaurant. Nestled on Kauai’s southern shore in the charming small town of Koloa, this kitschy Hawaiian tiki bar belongs on your summer bucket list.
Keoki's Paradise looks pretty standard from the outside, but once you step foot inside, you'll quickly understand what all the fuss is about.
Cascading waterfalls, meandering streams, and lush foliage surround you at Keoki’s Paradise, easily one of Kauai’s most stunning dining establishments.
Island-inspired decor is found on every surface of the open-air restaurant known for its tropical ambiance, moderate prices, and family-friendly service.
With an eclectic mix of American classics like onion rings and nachos as well as Hawaiian favorites like coconut shrimp and kalua pork spring rolls, you won’t regret ordering an appetizer before your meal.
The Dining Room is open for dinner nightly at 4:45 p.m. and reservations are encouraged.
Whether you go casual or upscale, save room for a slice of Hawaii's famous Hula Pie. This delicious treat is made with macadamia nut ice cream on a chocolate cookie crust and topped with chocolate fudge, whipped cream, and more macadamia nuts. Our mouths are watering already.
You'll also find an impressive selection of wine and beer if that's more your thing.
What are you waiting for? You'll absolutely love sitting back and relaxing in this lush, tropical paradise, enjoying one of the best meals you've ever tasted.
Keoki’s Paradise is located at 2360 Kiahuna Plantation Dr., Koloa, HI 96756, and is open from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily. For more information, check out their website or follow them on Facebook.
