Dining

What Big Island vacation experience is complete without the adventure of food and drink?  From fine island-style dining rooms to barefoot beach or poolside cafes, Mauna Kea Resort serves up culinary choices to satisfy your cravings – and your curiosity.  At Hapuna, the award-winning Coast Grille and Oyster Bar, from its spectacular lanai, offers appetizing ocean views and fresh, delicious cuisine prepared from Hawaii’s local fish, meats and market produce.  Arnie’s golf clubhouse restaurant offers hearty lunches or light dining with your favorite beverage, and the Beach Bar is the perfect spot poolside for a hunger- and thirst-quencher.  At Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, the Hau Tree restaurant serves lunch and snacks, including the traditional “Ovaltine Froth,” just off the sand at Kauna’oa Beach.
