Frommer's Review

The nearby lagoon takes on the pink-orange glow of sunset, while torches flicker among the coconut trees. With white tablecloths, candles, and seating near the lagoon, this is a spectacular setting, complemented by a menu that keeps getting better by the year. The chef de cuisine, David Abrahams, serves up Big Island cuisine with a flair that includes unusual dishes like kiawe-grilled fresh Island catch with tomato fondue, quinoa-and-almond-crusted free-range chicken paillard, Big Island swordfish poached in seasoned olive oil, sizzling ahi tataki with local exotic mushrooms, and crab-crusted sautéed opakapaka. Next door is Brown's Deli, with freshly made breads, pastries, and espresso coffees for breakfast, and pizza, salads, and sandwiches for lunch and dinner.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
