I wanted to find a great bikini shop for my girlfriend and searched all over yelp and google for places. A lot of stores had low recommendations for suits that you could only wear a few times. I found Pualani and when we went in the store owner was so helpful in allowing us to pick a color, find a good size, and presented multiple options to us based on fit and comfort and desired styles. There was no sales pressure just many options presented and when we finally found one she liked we went with it! Super happy with the experience and it's always nice to support a local small business and woman owned business, over some of the mega storefronts in Waikiki purely catering to tourists (with only size XS-M). Pualani has options for sizes up to XL and caters to many locals, in particular surfers who need suits that can be comfy and stay on during 6 foot waves.

Pualani is my absolute favorite swim wear company ever! I used to feel at least a little self conscious while bikini shopping, but Pualani's fit is designed so well that I feel amazing and confident in their suits! The colorful prints and variety of styles is fun too. There's something for everyone.

My wife loves this place! We have to wait to buy a new swimsuit until we come back here to buy it. My wife loves the suits here and the owner is super helpful with picking the right suit and right fit.I always have to get one of their awesome surfer towels, plus they have a man chair! So I can sit and play on my phone while she tries on suits

Bought a Sunhat here after venturing out and breaking sunglasses. The sales person and also owner was very patient with me as I wrangled toddler and tried on hats. She helped me choose a hat that I have now worn almost daily for 5 months. It has held up beautifully despite my daughters playing with it and being stuffed in many a bag. The owner was very kind offering my daughter dried mango and telling me about the local designer that makes the swimsuits she sells. I will be back to buy a swimsuit soon.

This location is never open. Even during supposed business hours. I've tried different times on different days. It's frustrating because I really love their bikinis. I end up driving to the North Shore location to spend my $$ b/c they are always open when they say they are. Not convenient. Paulani I love you but you make it really hard to stay a loyal customer.The sign on the door says "back in 30", but I've been standing outside for 45.

Aloha!For the past 12 years, my husband and I have spent the month of January in Oahu. In fact, we stay next door to the former location of Pualani Hawaii Beachwear. One of the first things on my agenda, is to visit the shop and find the perfect suit. I always look forward to seeing what the current year will bring and have never been disappointed! Well, imagine my disappointment this year when I went over to the old location only to see the Pualani of past, gone! Yikes! Thanks to Google, I was overjoyed to see that the NEW location was just about to open up. My daily walk was adjusted to take me there! I arrived during the time they were getting the shop ready for opening day. Iwalani greeted me along with her husband Gordon. While this was the first time I had met them, I was invited in . I couldn't have been treated any better and was thrilled to be able to take a look around even though they hadn't officially opened! I received a first hand account of the history of the company in great detail. I was invited to the grand opening as well. I went to the the opening and had a blast. Even the conch shell sounding and blessing were very special. I still have and wear my first suits from 12 years ago and they still look fantastic. My favorite top is the "Sport Tie". It's great for my daily swim and the bikini bottoms never lose their shape. The quality, style and fantastic customer service is simply unparalleled. They have such a large selection of beautiful colors, styles and patterns that it can be hard to make your final selection. Iwalani has such a great eye for color and really was a great help when I needed to make a final decision on which suits to take home this trip. I've also fallen in love with the skirts and "yogini" tops. The material is so soft and comfortable. I encourage everyone looking for a suit or accompanying wear to go visit Iwalani, Kaz, Mimi and the wonderful team at Pualani. Enjoy a fun and rewarding experience. They make looking for a bikini more fun than you would ever imagine. I only wish everyone associated with the store continued success. They are all so very special. Can't wait until next year!!-Melissa
