Great service and decent selection in the breakfast buffet. Skip the pancakes and enjoy the French toast when they have them. You may find a kid or two using their hands to serve themselves versus using the tongs. There's a kid's breakfast menu for up to 12 years old. read more

This was our daily breakfast spot while at the Westin Hapuna Beach resort. Lots of food choices and yes, comes with a price tag as decribed by other yelpers. Wasn't crowded during out vacation so we don't have any issues about long lines or not being attended to. Would love to try all the fool lol but I enjoyed the omelet and waffle bar the best. Just be watchful of those little birds....comes with the view! read more

If you're staying at the Hapuna Beach resort try to get the daily breakfast package. It's really worth it. The views are Amazing. The choices are great. They try to switch things up daily with different types of eggs Benedict. Different pancakes. Plus they also have an omelette bar. Their waffles are yummy too!! Service is excellent. I looked foward to getting up at 7am every morning and heading down stairs to breakfast. Enjoy the pics! read more

They change the breakfast offered to concierge members each year and unfortunately it's less appealing each year. As for the take away lunch food, we were quite surprised to find seaweed salad in the fried Chipotle Chicken Wrap. I understand it's Hawaii but a more illustrated description other than chipotle chicken wrap might be more informative. read more

My family and I visit the Big Island every year and one of our favorite morning rituals has become driving down to Hapuna Beach early in the morning for some snorkeling or relaxing in the beach chairs, followed by the breakfast buffet at Ikena Landing. Somehow our name is even in the system with our favorite table; it's a mystery to me how that happened but I'm so grateful. The spread of the buffet tables, from the omelet station and waffles, to the ochazuke, pastries, fruits, juices and more, the view of the blue ocean and the matching turquoise Chilewich placemats, and yes, even the ruthless hordes of birds that descend upon the tables as soon as you turn around, has become one of our favorite places on the island.

Ikena Landing - The breakfast buffet from my dreams - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kohala Coast, Hawaii

Ikena Landing offers a huge breakfast buffet daily... It offers everything you would hope for in a breakfast buffet but also comes with a hefty price tag. We ate at Ikena on the last day of our stay and enjoyed a lovely breakfast... It's open air and comfortable dining in. The kids had the buffet and my husband and I ordered off of the menu. I went with the large acai bowl (delicious) and my husband had the avocado toast. We both had coffee as well. The kids had a little of everything from the buffet. We may have each had a few bites of the kids' buffet food too ;) Service was a bit slow but very friendly. If you're staying at the Westin Hapuna and want a sit-down, filling breakfast, you will want to check this place out! read more

One of the best things about the Westin is starting your day with beautiful ocean views and sounds and a lovely breakfast! Everyone here is so nice and many have been here for years!! Had the best mimosa on my life here - Prosecco and lychee but it was also ice cold with an ice cold glass! Perfect !! Platinum members and above get a free continental breakfast which is fresh fruit, juice, coffee, pastries . Smoked salmon etc or you can upgrade to add cooked items! They also have other optional dishes to purchase! Note on the platinum breakfast 20% gratuity is added automatically. Favorite way to start the day and something I always look forward to ! read more

This is a restaurant in the Westin Hotel. We had breakfast there every morning. You had the option to order from the menu or opt for the buffet. Price wise and food wise, I thought the buffet was the better deal. We usually go when the restaurant opens. I thought that was best, because if you wait and go at a later time. The lines are longer, and the place fills up. We don't like waiting, LOL. The restaurant is an opened area. It looks out to the pool, towards the beach. It was very nice view and at times, there was a cool breeze. The only problem they had was the little birds. They flew around and try to get food off the tables. If you leave your table, you should either have one person stay to keep watch or cover your food with your napkin. The food was good. They have an omelets and waffle bar, which was nice. Some things weren't great, but you have other options to choose from. The staff were nice and helpful. read more

We have breakfast each morning here. As a Marriott member with standing, we get half off the buffet. The staff are really nice. We usually go right when they open. Since we wake up early, the food is pretty good. Love the omlette bar. She makes me eggs over easy She also makes the waffles fresh The eggs Benedict are overcooked, and the granola is mushy on the parfaits bacon is always crispy it you like that. Not a bad place at all read more

Enjoyed breakfast here on our last morning. Everyone raved about this restaurant, our experience was okay. We were seating fairly quickly, but after that service was pretty slow and picked up again towards the later part of our meal. Our server was very kind and worked with us to find good options for our daughter with allergies. They charged us $28 for a plain waffle and strawberries. Seemed steep, considering that's what they charge for the banana waffles which were much more extravagant. Everyone enjoyed their meals. They don't do lattes - just coffee. The location was beautiful. We ordered a la carte. Most people did the buffet. read more

Year after year, my family and I have gone to this particular resort whenever we stay on the big island and every year the staff have always been welcoming, helpful, and sweet!! I love coming here early in the morning and listening to all the local Hawaiian birds sing as you sit, you can still hear the waves crash on the shore, they're very silent but around 7 AM not too many people people are up. Lol. Since I have so many food allergies, I love the buffet here although it's gone up in price over the years. They also have a great menu with numerous options for breakfast and lunch. We always end up getting the buffet just because they have so many made to order items as well as some Asian favorites!! My son and I both love the Waffles as well as their omelettes that are made to order! I am also a sucker for all their delicious tropical Hawaiian pastries, and fresh fruit! The guava juice is really delicious as well as the Lilikoi! I have a pretty weak stomach, and I love the Hawaiian coffee here it's always somewhat of a light roast, which is perfect for my sensitive stomach!! Upstairs there is the Peko Café with a beautiful view of the adult pool/Koi pond as well as the beachfront! They're great espresso, bar and cocktail lounge is also fun to visit in the afternoons and certain nights. They have a pizza oven! Check on my reviews for that Location as well! read more

Ikena Landing - Love this view from here hee - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kohala Coast, Hawaii

Decent restaurant although pricey. Came here two mornings in a row, first, I opted for the a la carte avocado toast, it was ok, was expecting a larger piece given the price point. Second, I went for their buffet which has a great variety. read more

Disappointing breakfast buffet. Poor/stale bakery items. Dry fish. Not enough local items to make it memorable. Amazing views though.

Day 3 The Açaí bowl was very refreshing & very good. Photo speaks for itself. The prosciutto arugula eggs benedict is best eaten with the arugula. If you were to eat the arugula as a salad, separately from the benedict it's a little bland. Although we enjoyed the the banana foster waffles again, our son felt it was too sweet as a breakfast dish & not his cup of tea. As always, great service! read more

So very extremely delicious. The first thing and only thing I recall as being a problem was getting one of their eggs Benedict, they flew out of the dish when they came out. But I got like 5 - again flew out of the dish. It is an open air setting in the middle of the hotel with amazing breezes and views of the ocean. I don't recall how much it was and I think I got a discount bc of my status with Bonvoy but it wasn't cheap, likely in the town of $50 pp. There was everything you could imagine and some self serve juices if I recall correctly. There are a lot of hungry birds too. Omelets made to order, waffles too, all sorts of great items and a nice salad bar with miso soup. All the servers were attentive and extremely friends. We never had to wait for a seat to get in, I think I did have reservations though. read more

I take it back!!! Yesterday's breakfast was subpar but today's was amazing!! We had the continental breakfast again plus ordered the Ikena Omelet and the Loco Moco. Everything was fresh and delicious. The fruit was even better! OMELET The omelet was fluffy and filled with all the ingredients we wanted. The hash browns were so good!! It's like they balled up mashed potatoes and coated it with shoestring potatoes then dried it to a crisp. So so so good!! LOCO MOCO Wow! Beautifully plated with big slices of mushrooms in the gravy. The patty was cooked nicely. And the rice!! The rice was so much better than yesterday's. Not sure what tomorrow's breakfast will look like, but according to our waitress, it's hit or miss. Hopefully when you eat here, it'll be a hit. read more

Excellent breakfast spot in Westin! Whether you're in the mood for a breakfast buffet or a deliciously curated dish, you're in for a treat! Gorgeous view of the ocean, the friendliest staff, and 'ono food all in one. Service -- the service is incredible! You can tell Westin prioritizes customer experience because their staff is extremely attentive, always addresses you by your name, and makes sure you're comfortable and satisfied with your experience. Shirley was so sweet and came by the perfect amount of times. I never felt rushed or abandoned. Food -- I chose the Hapuna Ironman, which is labeled as gluten free and a SuperFoodsRx item. It sounded like one of the healthier options on the menu, with steamed greens, chickpea hash, and egg whites, and I was not disappointed! Soooo tasty! Even though I was dining alone while on a work trip, I had an awesome experience and I can't wait to be back. read more

I wanted to come here for my birthday to enjoy the breakfast buffet. We were on our way down to the restaurant, but we're stopped in our tracks when we noticed LOTS of birds hanging out by the buffet...like easily over two dozen birds. There was no staff around to swat the birds away, and the birds were relentless! They were eating off of the serving utensils and straight out of the chafing dishes that were not covered completely. I watched in horror as a bird nibbled on a piece of bacon, then moments later a poor customer grabs that same piece of bacon from the buffet line. Gross! It seems like this is an ongoing issue at this establishment as a customer posted a similar review from over 3 years ago. I hate leaving bad reviews but for $45 a person, this place HAS to do better. People can get very sick from that! read more

I didn't check out others review. This is 1 of 3 restaurants located in the Westin Hapuna. The breakfast was included in our vacation package through Costco. I couldn't find anything wrong with the service or the food. My wife had the açaí bowl that was very healthy after her run. My daughters had the kids pancake lollipops with pineapple. My dish by itself was 5 star delicious and unforgettable and not at all calorie free. I had the best banana fosters waffle with shaved coconut, macadamia nuts, strawberries, whip cream, scoop of quality vanilla ice cream, and 1000 smiles for each and every bite. read more

As titanium elite Marriott members, continental breakfast is included. Beautiful pastries and sweet breads and fresh local fruit daily. Service is always very good, staff is friendly and views are spectacular. Today we ordered crisp bacon off regular menu which was burnt. Also, the blackberries in our oatmeal were moldy. We understand not everything can be exemplary all the time. But I would never serve black bacon to a table and still charge $10 for it after we complained about it. read more

Very friendly staff here and beautiful views. Here's some reviews on the foods Two egg breakfast - small and kind of simple. Hash browns are soggy and not good Omelet - best I've had so far, very well made Bakery basket - tasty, nice to start with Avocado toast - pictured here, I would not consider this Avocado Toast. Unfortunately flavorless and inedible. Açaí bowl - tasty, but acai wasn't blended and was just a scoop so was a bit hard to eat Prosciutto Benedict - was OK Green smoothie - weirdly warm? I think they forgot ice read more

Service is amazing but the food is good not above average. Convenient if you are staying at the Westin but not a unique experience.

Located inside Westin Hapuna beach, this is quite a decent place for breakfast/lunch. If you are Westin's guests, you will be able to get 15% off with your privilage cards when you first check in the hotel. A big plus is they have such a nice view over the Hapuna beach and the pools. The service here was great: friendly and efficient. Our server was helpful when giving suggestion and our water were refilled regularly. However the food is just average; my loco moco looked great but the meat needed more seasoning. The hunter breakfast is a better choice. They also offer buffet menu with more selection as well. Given a small selection of restaurants in the area, I still give this place a 4 star review because pf the service and the view of the Hapuna beach. read more

This breakfast place is overpriced ($38 per person!) but more importantly, it has major health risks!! Do not eat here, save your money. Here is their buffet: - watery omelets - soggy and stale fruits & veggies - old moldy bread - super dry "fresh" honey - birds and insects (especially small fruit flies) freely roam around the open food item (and yes, the majority of them are left open!!) so, the bird flu is just an inch away. There was no quality control on any of the items we tried. After seeing how birds were eating off the serving spoons, I was left with eating boxed items such as yogurt and cereal & milk. Oddly enough there were no expiration dates listed on the boxed items! There are better breakfast places along the highway. It might be a far drive but I suggest venturing out to find someone better. read more

Ugh it's so hard to write a 2-star review but here we go... Ikena Landing is located on the 5th floor of the Hapuna Beach Hotel. It's got a gorgeous view of the ocean and we were so excited to eat our last breakfast of our trip here. The restaurant is pricey with a $38 breakfast buffet and entrees running at $22 for a simple breakfast of two eggs, meat and starch. I get that you're paying hotel prices but with the price tag you shouldn't have to wait 30 minutes to get your food and drink. In addition to our food we ordered two bloody Mary's which took an equally long time to arrive and the drink tasted a little watered down since it was sitting for so long to get delivered. If you're in a rush it's best to get the breakfast buffet or let your server know your timeline. read more

Service and atmosphere 5 stars. Food 4. Love the Asian breakfast options on the buffet: salmon, rice, miso soup, Japanese pickle bar and Furikake for rice. They even had natto! Fresh island fruits and all you can eat. The Logan was awesome! Wish coffee was 100% Kona instead of Kona blend but otherwise was a great breakfast option. read more

Breakfast buffet was included as part of the Costco vacation package for Westin Hapuna, so got to enjoy the daily breakfast without having to drive out for food to start the day Obviously beautiful views in the open air area of the hotel. But the open area invited birds to join in on the meal if ever left the table unattended, they flocked to tables that had just finished/left. But the view and open air makes it all just fine, lol. 4.5 stars Breakfast staff were ultra friendly with aloha spirits and a smile. 5 stars Food had plenty of choices, but not many that are fantastic. - DIY Loco moco = 2 stars - Japanese station didn't have much choice, but my baby enjoyed the rice and miso soup. = 3 stars - Bacon, sausage, scrambled egg offerings were ok. 1st day had so so bacon that wasn't cripsy, but all other days had nice crispy bacons. Sausages I ate one daily since it changed from chicken pineapple, to this or that, but maybe enjoyed just once when it was the regular sausage taste. But good rotation to provide variety for those staying more than a day I guess. = 4 stars - Pastries, breads, oatmeals, potato of the day, pancakes. didn't eat much of those but ok I guess. = 3 stars - Fruits were ok. Pineapples weren't that sweet (I assume not the Dole Hawaiian pineapple that I found out was the sweetest thing while on Hilo side). Tasty papaya. = 3.5 stars - Juices (orange, guava, pineapple, cranberry) standard fare = 3.5 stars - Omelet station had variety of ingredients that you could request. Leave your plate on the counter and they will place on it once ready. There were some tasty salsa types of condiments that added flavors if you wanted. I primarily went for 2 eggs overeasy daily and was always satisfied. = 4.5 stars. - Malted waffles. Highlight of the buffet, ate 2 of these small waffles daily and did not get tired of them. So good with the add on's they had available. My way was to grab waffle or two. Add a little butter, add a little maple syrup, KEY = ADD CRUSHED MACADAMIA NUTS, add a little whipped cream/butter thing. Very addictive with the fresh hot waffles being made. = absolutely delicious 5 stars! Forget the low carb diet when you have these waffles! Try to find package or special where breakfast is included, since it's convenient and a great start to the day in the relaxed atmosphere. Otherwise if paying $30+ or whatever it is X 2 people + keiki, I would suggest driving out for local food instead, even if you have to give up the best waffles ever, lol. read more

Ikena Landing - the MUST HAVE or 2 in this buffet is the mini malted waffle. be sure to add the crushed mac nuts on it. Best waffles I've had, lol. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kohala Coast, Hawaii

[this review is for breakfast] Hapuna beach. Fantastic views. Best and kindest waiter that we've ever met in Hawaii -- thanks Kanoa for taking such good care of us, you were perfect ! We arrived on a Sunday at around 10am fot a late breakfast / early "brunch with kids". No reservation but we snagged a front row table. Kids had the buffet -- $15 for the kids and they loved it. It is a very nice buffet priced at $35 for adults, so yes on the expensive side but the location is unbeatable. We had the Acaï bowl -- very good and quite original. We were not staying at the Westin Hapuna but got a sneak peak of this very nice place, fantastic views, and then got tobenjoy the picture perfect Hapuna beach. We usually go for brunch to Lava Lava beach club in Waikola, but this place is now high on our list as well ! read more

Can't say enough about Ikena Landing, the food has always been consistently good. This recent trip we were disappointed that the buffet was gone, but it's life post Covid.

Rating and review for BREAKFAST BUFFET only For a Westin breakfast buffet spread I give this a solid 5 stars. Yes the food may be repetitive but trust me, having more options is better than rotating hit or miss options. If you want variety, don't eat everything they offer every day. You simply cannot eat every hot item they offer anyway. This is not your typical 1 egg dish 1 bacon/sausage/ham dish kind of buffet but much more. - beautiful view - good service - omelette station, great sweet tooth options (French toast etc) - they have good rice, miso soup, grilled salmon ("Japanese style") breakfast section which quite honestly is huge for us. They even have those little natto cups Most importantly, everything is made in-house. None of this food service stuff. So it does not taste like mass produced food. $38 per person for the buffet but complimentary for Platinum and Titanium members read more
