Mark J.February 6, 2015Great views of the sunset and after dark. The poke was spectacular, the other food decent, the dessert disappointing. But the view is certainly worth it! Occasionally you can see rays after dark.
DivyaJuly 24, 2016The fish choice is great, great ocean views and fun to people watch - the yoga class was on when we were there. No show for the Rays unfortunately but nice to see the boats out.
Wade WilliamsApril 8, 2018Manta Rays in the bay out back. What restaurant can you witness real wild wild life on a real regular basis? I give this place all the stars for manta rays that aren't in a tank
Sam LeyNovember 19, 2018Nice experience. Resort restaurants can blend together, but this one stands out. Three vegan/vegetarian offerings on the menu. Get a reservation if you want to sit by the edge and see the rays.
Karri WildeOctober 21, 2014View is great, sunsets are awesome! Make a reservation and be sure to request a waterfront table. The food was hit and miss for us. Service was good. No rays when we were there. Bummed!! :(
Eric EscueFebruary 19, 2014If you want to see the Manta Rays, you can stand out on the balcony adjacent to the restaurant. Snorkel tour boats congregate at 7. Viewing is better after they leave around 8pm.- Jetset ExtraMay 18, 2015We dined at the hotel's main restaurant, Rays on the Bay, where we savored delicious seafood, wine, and panoramic ocean views while warm breezes wafted past our table.

Elias CallejoMay 19, 2013Service is pretty quick. I'm a Starwood platinum member and these guys are certainly up to par compared to My other visits to other SPG properties. Rib Eye steak was surprisingly legit.
Justin ScottAugust 17, 2014Make a reservation on OpenTable and ask for waterfront table. When the boats leave around 8:30 you'll see the mantas chowing down with you.
- Jen AOctober 3, 2012Singer and piano player are wonderful! Portuguese pizza is amazing and you must try the Passion Press wow! #bigisle2011 #Hawaii
Grab a beer and get comfy. The manta ray watching at night is like nothing you've ever seen. Amazing!- Mark J.February 6, 2015Be sure to reserve by phone - they get filled up and don't honor OpenTable reservations!
Trying to view Manta Rays with our visiting family. #NoShow
Danica CheungDecember 27, 2013Extremely slow service. We literally had to get our own plate and serve ourselves. Lost order. Hotel sold out and yet only 1 restaurant open? Will never come back again.
Hunter PicoNovember 30, 2011After waiting for 30 minutes I was sad too learn that with 6 entrees it was more of a bar by the sea then a dining experience.
Sandra C.January 16, 2016Si bien la comida no estuvo mal es caro para lo que ofrece. Tuvimos que pedir que completen el plato de pasta que habíamos pedido porque faltaban ingredientes. Buena vista al mar.
