    The 1030 am seating for the buffet was closing around 11 am. Lots of food was no longer available and by 11 am was picked over or gone. Staff seemed pressured to move people out of there. Our table staff was attentive and made sure we had a full cup of coffee while we sat. Management should keep the buffet open until 12 pm so people seated at 1030 am have access to all of the buffet, not just what’s left. Also, at $50 a person, there needs to be more food options and replenished buffet. Not worth the $.

    A brunch to remember- the baked glazed salmon was a masterpiece, eggs hollandaise perfection and the omelette delicious- to name few dishes- and pastries tasted fresh and not doughy - all in the most beautiful and picturesque resort- heavenly!!!

    Unfortunately, this was the worst Thanksgiving experience of my life. Complete waste of money and our time but it was thanksgiving in Hawaii so by the time we realized it was going pear shaped we had to stick it out. Reservations for 6:15, but we had to wait 45 minutes to get seated. No non-alcoholic drink options for the kids. We asked for ice tea, he said they didn't have any. We asked for juice, he said, I don't think we have any I will go ask???? It's Hawaii and they didn't have any juice? $170 per person for the dinner and they don't have any non alcoholic drinks??. I said I would pay for them but he just said all they have is beer wine and water. So we had water on Thanksgiving, except no one filled our water glasses. I had to ask 3 times to get a water glass filled. It's a $170 buffet yet no-one bothered to clear our plates. We literally had plates stacked on top of each other sitting at the table. The music was so loud you couldn't talk to the person sitting next to you. Huge fail from the RITZ Carlton. It was supposed to be a wonderful family thanksgiving and instead I feel like I was ripped off and cheated.

    Ulana and the Ritz Carlton Kapalua never disappoints. Every food item was superb, warm, and fresh. The service was highly exceptional. They heard us whisper about hash browns and brought them to our table 5 mins later.
