Lava Lava Beach Club has a gorgeous oceanfront setting and super attentive service - our food arrived shockingly fast. However, the underwhelming flavors simply don't live up to the premium pricing. At $38, the pineapple fried rice tasted no better than fast food quality and other entrees missed the mark too. While the view is phenomenal and staff incredibly friendly, a restaurant should ultimately be judged by its cuisine. And in that regard, Lava Lava fails to deliver value for the high prices. The ambiance and service earn it some points, but the lackluster, overpriced food is a letdown. They need to seriously up their game in the kitchen.

Didn't rate rooms, as I didn't use one. We went back more than once. Interesting and plenty of entertainment. View directly on the beach. Margarita with a donation behind it. There are some options native to Hawaii. (Moco Loco/Mai Tai/Pineapple Salsa/Ceviche/Seafood) Banana bread was delicious. Breakfast and Lunch both good. Can't say enough good things about this place.

We have had dinner here before and again enjoyed our experience! Nick was our waiter, and he was fantastic! We were greeted quickly, he answered any questions, and kept our glasses topped off. Thanks Nick!We were excited to come back for the view at sunset! We arrived about an hour before sunset on a weekday. We were seated right away and we loved the food! The live music is always impressive.We split “Kiss My Chocolate Monkey” for dessert and we both loved it. The banana wasn’t too overpowering and the mousse was delicious. Don’t forget to walk along the beach a bit before you leave!

A favorite stop when in Kona. 4 stars only because service was a tad slow. Food was fabulous, can't beat the view!
Our service was awesome and definitely added to the entire experience. Food was also good and priced about how you would expect it to be here. Food was served extremely quickly after ordering. View was great and overall enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the area!
