The Point Sunset & Pool Bar — Restaurant in Oʻahu

My son and I visited this resort the other day, to meet up with some friends. We had some time to kill, so we sat at the bar in the lobby named "Off the Lip"; he had something called a Shark Bite, and I had a Mai Tai. Each drink cost around $25, which is probably the most I've ever paid for a drink, in my life. Since the resort is allegedly exclusive, I expected a lot.

Also, just so you know, my son is 21, and both of us are alcohol light-weights. Both of us will normally fall asleep after just one beer, so these drinks were, for us, considered heavy drinking. On top of it, we both had an eaten since breakfast, and it was 3 PM, so we both had empty stomachs and were starving. So we ordered the drinks, and I could tell right away there wasn't much alcohol in them. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, finally our friends show up, and neither me or my son feel anything from the drinks. In both our experiences, we should've been semi-drunk, but both of us were totally unaffected, which means there is barely any alcohol (if any) in either of those drinks. We paid $50 for two Shirley Temples, I guess. Looking at the menu, there should have been two shots in each drink:

Shark Bite: Dewers 12yr Blended Scotch, Laphroaig 10yr, etc

Turtle Bay Mai Tai: Plantation Rum, Old Lahaina Dark Rum, Orgeat, Ferrand Dry Curaçao, etc

Anyway, we didn't stay at the resort or eat, this review is only for the bar in the lobby. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I feel we got scammed. When both my son and I order drinks and don't feel a thing, then I know we got scammed. Believe me, I have one light beer and I get...

Staying at the turtle bay resort for our honeymoon and have been trying all the restaurants. Came here for drinks and a beautiful sunset! The service was friendly and very good. My husband got a lava flow with a rum float on top. We enjoyed drinks from the same bar all day at the pool. We went back for dinner the next night. We went around 7:30 and it wasn’t too busy. We actually took out food to go as we had a long day. The bar tender was very friendly and our food came extremely quick! I ordered the mahi mahi fish tacos from the small plates menu and my husband had the double smash burger with fries. I didn’t get a picture of the burger cause my husband devoured it- he loved it ! The tacos come with 2 and a third can be added for $10, but two was enough for me. Doesn’t come with a side. The fish is delicious ! Highly recommend for food and or drinks and great...

Food poisoning, terrible waitress, over priced food, beautiful view. My husband and I both ordered a burger, one vegetarian, one double regular, both of us got very sick. Luckily the mini market in the hotel has a bunch of medicine available. Our waitress only showed up to take our order and drop off our drinks. Someone else dropped off our food and our waitress never came back. She had her back turned to us, and hung out in the bar chatting with her coworkers. We had to go to the bar to order more drinks and she intercepted us as we approached the bar. I noticed the table next to us had a great waitress, she checked on her tables often. As expected, the prices...
