Nice view of the salt water lagoon. Good selection, including the requisite made-to-order omelet. Includes options for Asian-style breakfasts. Some of the pastries are really good, others are worth skipping to save the calories. Plentiful fresh fruit. Avoid the kalua pork hash. Sounds much better than it tastes. Servers are pleasant.

Nice place for breakfast, especially when it is included with your stay. Would have liked a bit of variety from day to day since we were there every morning for our 5 night stay, but overall pretty good.

Recommend the world wide selection of breakfast items. The price was higher than expected, but the food was good.

Very good food choices. We had breakfast there every day but once. Wish they would have offered pancakes or waffles one day, but the French toast was great.

This is the only spot to get breakfast at the resort. They should have a more affordable coffee shop type restaurant but this is all they offer. The buffet is large with good items but expensive. Order off the regular menu and save a bit. Still a nice place with view of the lagoon and waterfalls. Good service staff.

Most of staff was friendly and efficient but there were several duds, some with a minimal ability in English.. Buffet was boring for anyone on a stay beyond a few days. Food temps on buffet table cooled quickly after being bought out from the kitchen. In some cases hot items were absolutely cold. Birds flying around the room were bothersome... More

This buffet is average, the cost $30.00 each. Many Japanese items available. We will not return. The staff at the omelet station were friendly and courteous.

Omelet station is very good and they keep things moving. Hot buffet has the usual items. The fruit and bakery bars are great - try the coconut glazed monkey bread - Yum!

Except for the view from the windows of this restaurant, there really wasn't much about the "Big Breakfast" to write home about. Except it's pricepoint. $$$$$ Granted, there's only so much any restaurant can invent to offer for breakfast buffets, but at the amounts being charged per person, perhaps several ice scultures could be tossed in by the management.
