“Lulua is a good restaurant on the Waikiki beach. The views are good if you're in the right spot and the food is not too bad. The burgers are great.” — Heather P, Tripadvisor
“Bought lei for my grandchildren to watch the Kamehameha day parade. So many options of traditional Hawai’i lei. Locally grown and sewn, LOVE that! Support local from the bar to the lei stand nothing but good vibes!” — Leslie Hanawahine, Google
