Nice video. You missed Brown's Beach House at the Fairmont Orchid and Manta at Māuna Kea. I think Brown's Beach House is, arguably, the best restaurant on the island.

We are planning a trip to Kona for May. Any suggestion on what part of the Kona to rent a place. I'm looking for Airbnbs close to downtown, I'm assuming that is the place to be, but if there our better options please let me know. We are in our 50's so we don't need to be in nightclub central, we are mainly looking to have a balance of things that are easily accessible and a walk able area, if that make sense.

Kona is kind of noisy at night. Look for something up the hill from Kona with distant ocean views. Cooler at night too.

Rebel Kitchen 79-7399 Hawaii Belt Rd, Kealakekua was a new find for us last week. It's on the road to Volcano so no view but excellent food, great beer selection. They make their own Fire Sauce which honestly is not that hot, they make their own ketchup and their own mustard. The waitress made excellent cupcakes as well. Give it a try.

Great content as always, hopefully Hawaii gets more open, they got rid of the quarantine is that correct. Do they still do testing at the airport or do you need to get tested before arrive.
@365Hawaii 3 жыл бұрын
Aloha! No quarantine! And yes, they still have testing at the airport and are looking to allow those who have been vaccinated a chance to bypass testing in the coming months. All businesses still require that you wear a mask and if you are in public spaces like walking downtown. Our case count is low and our efforts have been rewarded with most of our restaurants, charters, farmers markets and businesses open!

I love the Mauna Kea as a resort, but Manta is absolutely terrible. Great view and ambiance but food is beyond disappointing (overcooked seafood, poorly seasoned plates, and egregious prices). I think Merrimans and Canoe House are the way to go near Kohala.

All those restaurants hv good view but I don’t agree with their menu it’s not up to standard in quality consistency and flavors .I wouldn’t not recommend any of those to anyone .I’m a local chef born here on island work at various locations of rest and hotels .Frm Kona kohala coast as well as kamuela.There’s no foods which I enjoy eating .There all shitty to my flavors .I hv my own business as a chef /owner everyone say we hv the best menu for a food concession trailer .Know one cn touch our menu flavors .Ohanafoodtrailer ..Aloha
