Beach Tree was our favorite restaurant in the Four Seasons Resort. It was more affordable than the other two, the food was very good, and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating. My husband and I both got the market catch of the day, which was the tastiest fish we’d had on the island. Our waitress gave excellent wine recommendations and even let us sample a few wines so we could decide which to choose. The outdoor setting along the beach is very welcoming, and live music was played on the adjoining lawn throughout the evening. We also had lunch one day at the bar there, where our fish tacos were very tasty.

Ko Olina

About the restaurant

Best view in Ko Olina, with valet service by the Four Seasons. Mānalo Lounge – meaning ‘sweet water’ in Hawaiian, celebrates Hawaii’s diverse mix of cultures, paying homage to the flavors of Asia and across the greater Pacific. The outdoor breeze in a comfortable, relaxed environment lets us take it easy while enjoying top-quality pupus. Akin to the saying, 'Ae Kai - to bring together the land and sea to serve as a gathering place, Mānalo Lounge serves as a welcoming intersection to gather with family and friends for dinner, in a contemporary, yet casual setting at the water’s edge.

We have always enjoyed coming to Manta but our recent visit was a relevation! Chef Nagau has elevated the food here to something truly special. The starter of kaua'i shrimp with hamakua mushrooms and curry was outstanding, while the ravioli with local farmed abalone was a special treat. A meuniere sauce on a local catch of kampachi was a classic twist on a local speciality. The service was wonderful and the manager stopped by for a delightful chat. Together with the beautiful setting overlooking the palm trees and the ocean -- an amazing experience overall!

This is the main restaurant for the Marriott hotel and the Ocean Club of the Marriott Vacation Club location on the Big Island. The setting is lovely -outdoors at 645 pm with light ocean breeze and nice table and our group was two adult couples. The food and drinks were very good . Prices were high but fair considering this is a resort in Hawaii. The draft beers were a good value in the large size. They do have happy hour and early week specials on Mondays- Wednesdays
