What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Seaview Terrace is lauded for its absolutely stunning ocean views and vibrant atmosphere, often enhanced by live music and friendly service. While many rave about the cocktails and specific dishes like the lobster mac and cheese and poke bowls, some find the food to be overpriced or inconsistent. One reviewer even found a hair in their salad, leading to a negative experience.
"Those was a nice experience with a great ambient setting. We had almost all deserts on the menu. Some like the mousse are fantastic, others like the cheesecake and the duo should be hard passes. The Bao.and Bahn MI were good"
Zippy
"Breakfast buffet is very large and diverse, and available to those not staying at the hotel. The dining area is gorgeous and looks out over a water feature, with live animals and the ocean. The staff were amazing and so helpful, quick with assistance if needed. I ordered off the menu and got the Salmon Lox Bagel Sandwich, which was a delightful surprise. Very large and filled with many toppings. Highly recommend, even for the price."

"The food here is great, the staff here is great, and the vibe is awesome. I recommend sitting out side with the great ocean view. The lobster Mac and cheese is absolutely delicious with great texture and flavor. The seats are comfortable and there is usually a live singer who will sometimes take suggestions. Our waiter(Kalei) told us stuff about the birds and life in Hawaii.100/10 recommended"
