Cafe Del Mar

2nd time I’ve been here, and always doesn’t disappoint with the sunset and vibe. Music is chill, people here are chill, and drinks are great.

Went here mainly for the sunset, but also got a Pina colada and a mojito. The Pina colada was great, but I would say the mojito could have been better.

The Office

We went here for some bites after a 3 hour boat ride, and got drinks as well.

For lunch, got the sea bass with vegetables. It was pretty good. For drinks, got a pina colada.

The vibe of the restaurant was fairly nice since it was right in front of the beach (and you could easily bar hop to other eateries beside it). Would come back to it, and also would check out the other eateries around.

Loca Villa

Got afternoon drinks here with some friends we met at the festival. Service was really shitty, but the Pina Colada was good.

Royal Kona Hotel Bar (Don the Beachcomber)

I was told this was an excellent place to watch a sunset while drinking a pina colada. I would have to say this is very true (although our sunset had some clouds covering it).

I ordered a banana lava flow and a mango lava flow (a lava flow is basically a flavored pina colada). Both were good, but the mango one was less sweet, so I thought it tasted the best.

The food at this place is meh. The coconut breaded shrimp was not that good. The poke chips were ok.

The Fish Hopper Seafood and Steaks

First restaurant I ate in Hawaii (Kona). It’s in the main town in Holualoa.

Overall, I did get a tourist vibe from the place. However, the drink I ordered, the toasted pina colada, was really good, and the perfect first drink in Hawaii.

For the main course I ordered a clam chowder and seafood pastaZ the pasta was great. The clam chowder was a bit too thick (the last picture posted was a ultimate Bloody Mary with a slider and bacon attached to it, which I did not ordered, but thought was really cool).

Tequila Factory

This place had a great view, and great good.

I had a Pina Colorado to start, which hit the spot (didn’t get any tequila drinks though. Maybe next time).

For appetizers, we got several to share. Also very good.

My main course was a quesadilla with chicken. Also very good.

El Bosc de les Fades

We tried out this place because of a friend’s friend’s recommendation.

Overall, a very unique atmosphere. A lot of different types of rooms (one room reminds me like the rainforest cafe). In terms of drinks, I got the Pima colada. It was alright, but I’ve had better. In terms of food, unfortunately they were out of things I wanted (ie empanadas). I ended up getting the ham and cheese sandwich. It was overall ok. I thought this place was very unique, but not sure if I would go back.

Olla Cocina

Felt like getting some Mexican tapas, and this place had some good ones.

To start, I got the Mai Tai Pina. I definitely enjoyed the hint of Pina Colada flavouring.

For the tapas, we got four of them. All of them but one were good. From best to worst: the Mac and cheese, the carne tacos, the empanadas, and the calamari (usually I like calamari, but this one was not good).

Social

This place was really good. We got this lobster pasta spaghetti dish with an appetizer of wings, and the combo made my day. Also, I ordered a Pina Colada, and it turned out to be massive. Take a look:
