In Our Opinion

‘A great place for romance, for families and for relaxing and having fun!’

Rays on the Bay
Set atop the ancient black lava cliffs, Rays on the Bay is one of a kind - perhaps the only restaurant that offers you the chance to see manta rays in their natural environment as you eat. Combine this with nightly entertainment and world-class food such as fresh seafood and artisan pizzas and you have a rising star on your hands.
Ainakai
Probably one of the best breakfast buffets you’ll eat – plenty of gourmet breakfast items plus firm favourites too. Open 06.30 until 10.30.
Holua Poolside Bar and Lounge
If all the swimming and sunbathing leaves you feeling drained during the day then this is a good place to recharge your batteries. Try the island-style pupus (hors d’oeuvres), sandwiches, wraps, salads or if you’re feeling really adventurous, a tropical cocktail.
Keauhou Coffee Co.
Open from 06.00 until 16.00 and serving the locally grown Kona coffee plus light snacks.
Silversword Lobby Bar
A daily wine-tasting event held in the comfortable lobby. Perfect for making friends.
