Sure, it's a novelty, and sure, it's open only to hotel guests, but there's something to be said for having a cocktail while you float around a resort pool on the south shore of Maui. This cave-ensconced bar sports underwater stools, and water jets soothe and massage you while you're seated.

More than a restaurant, Casanova is that neighborhood institution that fills several roles at once. By day, it's a deli; in the evenings, it becomes a well-loved restaurant; and at night, it morphs into a bar and dance club. At dinner, everyone gathers for pasta, but when the food disappears, it's time for a little fun. Depending on the night, that's often live music, featuring well-known local and national bands. Contemporary Hawaiian music is always a draw, but you're just as likely to hear R&B, country, or Latino music. With such a rich cultural heritage, the stage is open to a multitude of rhythms.
