Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a nice little shopping center far from the city. Koko Marina is located in Hawaii-Kai and has an old feel to it. While it used to be more fun with some key closures, it's still a great place to stop by with some gems. They have all the key places you'd need: a Walgreens, Petco, gas station, movie theatre, and casual restaurants galore.
Our favorite reason to come here is Kona Brewing Co., still one of the best restaurants around for locally sourced food and cold beer; even through the entrance looks like it's in a parking lot, the main restaurant overlooks the lake and mountains.
The shopping center has plenty of free parking all around. Some areas are reserved for specific businesses, so make sure if you're staying a while. After you park it's easy to walk around to other places. At the time of this writing a number of places are still closed due to COVID19 concerns, but I'm sure it'll become a one-stop location for fun and entertainment again.

Our private tour guide brought us to this area. Koko Marina Center is a shopping center located in beautiful Hawaii Kai in East Oahu. This small shopping center does have a variety and restaurants and a few cute boutique shops.

There are many stores and restaurants in the area. It is a mixed bag in as much as the various places range from cheap eats to more expensive. There are also a smattering of clothing boutiques. You can also find a few water sports shops where you can purchase different types of water activities. The whole area looks like it needs to be spruced up. Parts of it are seedy and tired. The second floor in particular is creepy.

There standouts are: Starbucks, J Salon, Teddy's burgers and the Moena cafe. There are a few clothing shops and a few restaurants. There is also a bank and two nail salons. There is also a movie theatre. There is no grocery store, however, Walgreens does have some groceries. Finally, there are a few sports rental centers.

I really feel for the folks who are leasing space at this shopping center.
SOOO much, it needs attention to updating....roof, buildings, painting and parking in the center. So OLD and unmaintained. YEARS OF NEGLECT. Something out of the 60's with NO updates since beginning.
Even so, there are some places one could enjoy...I guess...movie theater, a few restaurants(some are pretty Bad though), shops, water sports, banks, a vet, hair/nail salon, dry cleaner, etc.
Center is more focused for locals than tourists.
Recently moved here from CLEAN, upscale Summerlin in Las Vegas...this center is a total waste for me and mine.
You be the judge.

I stumbled upon this shopping center by accident, and was quite happy about it! I used transit to return from a visit to friends who live in Hawaii Kai, and got off at the shopping center when our bus broke down! It gave me the opportunity to explore this center before catching another bus into Waikiki. It was quite enlightening to discover grocery and retail prices were quite a bit cheaper than in Waikiki, so I loaded up my knapsack with groceries. If you are visiting Hawaii with a family and have a rental car, this is a close to the city center, and it would be worthwhile to shop here for essentials.

very nice place, went there after a relaxed day in Hanauma bay. There is a nice greek gyro shop there, and next to it Kona brewing pub. Go there and get a nice table on the porch in front of the marina.

The service was excellent and the food is yummy! My favorite is the corn beef! This Zippys is one of the cleanest with a beautiful view. I am glad to have bumped into this Zippy's. It will be my new go to!
