Swell Restaurant and Pool Bar

Tammy the server was amazing !
We had a cabana and it was so nice.
Loved the acai bowl and was happy to see how big the portions were.
Such a lovely space with an infinity pool.

Amazing! Had a blast at the bar the HH has $2 oysters which is a steal in Hawaii. Also had some Paloma’s and Mai Tais and the sliders. the pool vibe was awesome dj during the day and Ramon is the best bartender even recommended some places to go for clubbing and took good care of the hubby and I service is top notch and we will be back next vacation for that reason!

This restaurant is in the Alohilani Resort, up on the 5th floor, and it’s the perfect place for a happy hour. I loved everything but I was particularly impressed by the chicken avocado flatbread and maitai!

The view up there was amazing! Make sure you allot yourself at least 2 hours up there to enjoy the full amenities it offers (infinity pool, bar, cabana and food & drinks). Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive to our needs and brought out our drinks and foods promptly.

Stayed at the Alohilani and stopped at Swell for a lunch. Burger and salad were exactly as expected and service was fast and friendly. Views were nice and crowd was managed well but we weren’t rushed.

Overall chill vibe, good food and drinks and DJs made a cool atmosphere. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary here. Cherie the waitress is honestly an angel. We were blessed to have here, super nice and friendly and took care of us so well we will never forget her superb service. Thank you 🙏

Good food and lovely atmosphere 💕

After getting recommendations from several locals about the sunset scene at this poolside bar nested up on the 5th floor of the Alohilani in Waikiki, we decided to give it a try. Not only was this clearly a locals favorite hangout (with overstuffed furniture around mini fire pits), the food and drinks were amazing. Our bartender was Chad and he was working his tail off! Every time we were going to ask for something, chad was already on his way to our table with whatever we were going to ask for on his tray and a big smile -- like he knows just how to make sure each person really enjoys their vacation. We can't wait to go back during our next visit to paradise.

BEST POKE NACHOS EVER!!!!!! Highly suggest Swell! Great service, vibe and food!

Emily was our waitress one night and she was so nice!

Great vibes after sunset with live music and a rooftop bar atmosphere. Plenty of seating. Chill crowd. Wish we’d found this spot earlier!

Amazing place to recharge. The BEST place to go to in Waikiki. Best Long Islands. Great staff. Occasionally passed desert samples. Great view, great music

Everything (service, pool, drinks, food, cabana, pool and hot tub) was amazing especially Andrew. Will definitely will be back when in the area.

MAC across the street advertised a Happy Hour but no bartender. Sure. Came over here and paid $20 for a Mai Tai. Pretty steep but respectably strong.

The pool top is a fine hangout and the mood was great. Finished two crossword puzzles.

Food & drinks amazing. Specially the "Lava Flow" drink. Great View from the pool

I didn’t stay at the hotel. It felt like a hidden gem of a place. Had a blast at night! Had wonderful afternoons there as well.

This place is so fancy, I felt really out of place going to hang out there lol! It is super cozy and a very nice view once you do get comfortable (I spent 2 hours, one night of our six day trip lounging here 😬 I honestly wish I'd done more lol)

Outstanding restaurant.and bar. Traveling to Hawaii, this is a place that you need to add to your list of must visits.

A fantastic place to unwind..food and service was great,pool itself fantastic..can't wait to get back there.

My friends and I reserved a Cabana here for my best friends bachelorette weekend during the day. Let me just start, our waiter Andrew was exceptional and completely made the experience. The accommodation is the best one available in Waikiki and does not require you to be a hotel guest. The Cabana was spacious and very well stocked. It also came with some pool chairs in front. The service from all employees was great! We had an absolute blast as a group of 10. I would highly recommend this area for big groups looking for a lounge and or party Cabana experience while in Waikiki. There was no DJ during the day but they allowed us a speaker. Drinks were delicious. Food was great. Thank you Andrew for making our weekend!

Great shrimp, fried chicken beer and Maitais, greatest atmosphere in Waikiki beach...
