And Jenaya wanted to make sure we got to Don's Mai Tai bar and I'm so glad we did. It's a covered outdoor bar where I had the best Mai Tai. I could taste the pineapple and they weren't stingy with the rum either. And those Poke Nachos were the BEST.

Don's Mai Tai Bar at Royal Kona Resort
Don's Mai Tai Bar (formerly Don the Beachcomber) is not widely recognized as the creator of the original Mai Tai. While Donn Beach is known for pioneering tiki culture and creating numerous popular tropical cocktails, including Don's Mai Tai, which is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the original Mai Tai, the drink's authorship is generally credited to Victor Bergeron (Trader Vic).
