Kea Lani Restaurant

The buffet was good. The cold foods were cold, and so were a lot of the hot foods. The Eggs Benedict muffins were soggy, the hash browns, bacon, link and patty sausages were cold. That is why I cannot give this anymore than a 3. I’ll try it again in a couple of days and revise my review if necessary.

Pretty bland buffet for $ 40 a head. Pancakes and waffles were doughy, juices were concentrate, and nothing was really flavorful. Understaffed. Workers seemed stressed.

Bad, bad, bad. Beautiful hotel and location. Food was gross, service atrocious. Nothing like eating with a bunch of aggressive birds flying over you and eating off your plate. Waffles were soggy, bananas were far from caramelized. Awful. On the other hand, if you’re looking to film a remake of the Alfred Hitchcock movie «Birds,» this is the place!

Breakfast Buffet $ 36 pp + tax. it was okay. There are fruits, bacon, sausages, yogurt, rice, miso soup, oats, juices, muffins and order to make scramble egg. Simple and standard.

I had the best omelet ever!!! Everything was fresh and favorable! It is a very pricey buffet $ 75.00 for 2 adults but you do get what you pay for, I think this one time breakfast splurge was ok but next time I will have to stick to the café for my close by breakfast needs.

The buffet was very delicious. All the fruits like the pineapples, cantaloupes, honey dewa, strawberries and more was very sweet and fresh.
I felt the price was just right for all the food it had. The omelette station was great.
Good coffee, fresh orange juice and passion fruit juice. Pastries were good
Salmon, Lox and Bagel… and much more. So yummy!
I’d suggest you go for the buffet instead of the a la carte menu since you’ll get more for your money.
I’ve eaten a lot of buffets and this one is a keeper and will Definitely come back again.

Most importantly, my Wife and I had a breakfast package included in our hotel rate. We never would have paid the $ 85 bill we get every morning if it wasn’t. However, it has made all the difference in our stay. Do whatever you can to get breakfast included in your stay.
We wake up early and spend an hour or two sipping coffee (with a refill carafe they leave on the table — great touch), doing the crossword in the paper they provide, and enjoying their excellent buffet. You also have the option to order from their menu, but we love the buffet. Fresh juices, omelette bar, rotating specials, hash browns, baked goods, fruit, cereal, pancakes/​waffles/​french toast. Everything you could want.
Great service, great ambiance (minus the aggressive birds), just the perfect start to each day in paradise.

The Kea Lani Restaurant has one of the best breakfast buffets I’ve ever been to. The service is excellent and the food is delicious!
My favorite part of the buffet was the omelette station. At first, I was skeptical that they had one chef making 6 – 8 omelettes at once, however, he proved me wrong. He was an absolute pro. They have several different veggies, meats and cheese to choose from for your omelette. I went with a bacon, ham, swiss, spinach and onion omelette. The sides of bacon and sausage were also perfectly cooked! The sides of potatoes and hash-​browns were very good as well.
For people who prefer a sweeter breakfast, the buffet also has waffles and pancakes with assorted syrups, sauces and dessert toppings. The buffet has an additional section for fresh Hawaiian fruit, deli meats and cheese. I loved the Brie!
The servers were attentive in refilling coffee, water and juice. My favorite juice was the orange guava. I also liked that they switched up the variety at the buffet on a daily basis. If you are staying at the Fairmont, be sure to visit at least once! My family went three times during our week vacation.

Great breakfast buffet! Omelette station fresh fruit and daily selections. One of the better breakfast buffets we’ve ever been to & super convenient since we booked the package with breakfast daily at the fairmont.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast buffet. One of the best I’ve seen!
Full omelette bar.
The most incredible fresh baked goods you’ve ever seen.
Magnificent fruit selections with the islands rare and unique fruits.
Every day they have a freshly squeezed juice.
Inside and patio seating is available.
Friendly staff

Overall food and such is good but the device is lacking big time! $ 36 a person for a standard breakfast buffet so the server doesn’t have much to do. The place is only about 50% full and we waited for 10+ min for water and not even from our server, then ordered ice tea and now 30+ min now waiting for that. The worst thing is that I’m sure gratuity will be added. Looks like Four Seasons for breakfast tomorrow.

This is the best brunch I’ve ever been to, seriously! The fruits are always so perfectly ripe, the omelet bar makes great omelets and cooked to order eggs. My favorite item of the extensive choices on the hot buffet has to be the Portuguese sausages, oh my! The whole family loves the rice and oshinko (pickles) and the small salad area. There is a good variety of baked goods pancakes/​waffles, etc., etc, etc. The icing on the cake is starting each morning with Tamatha who, takes such good care of us. We look forward to seeing her each year, she’s always one of the highlights of our vacation at the Kea Lani!

yummy brunch! all you can eat everything or order a la carte.
we were here twice, everytime the quality of food is always fresh, even at the buffet! a solid, upscale buffet with smoked salmon, eggs in many diff ways, ham, deli meats, fruits, salads, etc etc etc.
love the open door/​window policy. you feel like you’re eating out even when you’re inside, though it can be windy at times. and birds everywhere.
delicious neverthelessssss.

$ 32/​adult breakfast buffet, Kids 5 and under eat free. Everything tasted fresh, especially the fruit. The service was very friendly. Great way to start the day.
