Great service and really good food
Unbeatable views! Wonderful breakfast & gluten free options! Friendly service
The breakfast buffet at Manta is spectacular. The food quality, variety, and presentation are all excellent, and it is easily one of the highlights of staying at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.
One of the best parts is that Marriott Bonvoy Platinum members receive the full breakfast buffet as part of their elite breakfast benefit. I really appreciate that the hotel provides the actual buffet rather than limiting Platinum members to a basic continental breakfast or a small credit....read full review

Manta Restaurant offers a fine dining experience with top-notch service and delicious food. The friendly and efficient staff ensure that guests feel like royalty, refilling drinks and clearing plates promptly. The restaurant boasts a beautiful view, allowing diners to enjoy watching Manta Rays swim in the nearby waters. The menu features spectacular dishes, including the Kona Kanpachi and scallop risotto special. The setting is extraordinary, with a view of the cove and swimmers, and the atmosphere is enhanced by live music on Saturday nights. Guests have praised the attentive service, with staff being helpful and caring, and the manager welcoming and warm. The food receives high marks, with favorites like the seared ahi, tomato soup, burrata, oysters, and beef tenderloin. Visitors often enjoy viewing the Manta Rays at the deck, where they perform playful back flips, especially after dinner when they can be seen swimming close by. The food presentation, taste, and sourcing are phenomenal, and the view of the sunset over palms and the beach adds to the experience. While prices are high, the beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and memorable moments make Manta Restaurant a top choice for special occasions or romantic evenings on the Big Island. Guests also appreciate the starry night sky and the chance to see the incredible Manta Rays up close.
