Reviews

Everyone is doing a really great job here. The kitchen is putting out an excellent product; and on the hospitality side, all of the staff is very focused on guest experience.

Delicious food. For lunch try the tres leches dessert. Fish taco, lettuce cup and spam pineapple fried rice. Guacamole n chips is also fresh n good. The steak for dinner is grilled. Actually anything on the dinner menu is really worth trying.

We were celebrating a birthday. Have heard a lot about the new Kona Village. It is quite beautiful. I do have a suggestion: the canoes obstruct the view from the beach tables so it's hard to see any whales...I know, it's a minor point. the food was very good, hubby and I both had the petite filet. the BBQ oysters were fantastic. We didn't have dessert because we were so full. A wonderful experience. We will be back...appreciate the kamaaina discount.

Nice spot in the Kona village resort for smoothies, snacks, coffee and pastries. They don’t display prices anywhere, so be aware of how expensive it is. Otherwise you might pay $11 for a tasty cookie like someone I know

I had a great dinner at Kahuwai Cookhouse. The location and view is remarkable and the experience got better from there. The cocktail list is fun with twists on recognizable favorites. I started with the Hearts of Palm Lomi. It was a nice, fresh beginning. For my main, I picked the Grilled Island Ahi. It was cooked perfectly and the curry hash was amazing. I finished with the panna cotta, though I forgot to get a picture. Service was excellent throughout.
