Mauna Kea's restaurant was just meh, and the drinks there were all too sugary. The GM at the Mauna Lani is top notch, but you really can't go wrong with either resort.

I might be the only person (and I love dough) who thought the shokapan was, "okay." The food at canoehouse really is spectacular...
