We visited early with the 6am crowd since we are normally on East Coast time. The service we received on the outside patio was impeccable. Jerry and Scott were all stars.
We chose the breakfast buffet, which included made to order pancakes, waffles, and omelets.
1. Blueberry orange granola pancakes - these were very tasty. (5/5 🌟)
2. Mochiko waffles - I really enjoyed these. The crisp texture on the outside with the fluffy middle was perfect. (5/5 🌟)
3. Overall, the buffet had quality items with local favorites. The juice bar was great with a variety of fresh juices to choose from.
The atmosphere and view were unbeatable.

I shouldn't have to be the one informing the waiter that there is a dead bird on the floor. Did they not clean the place before seating us? Also staff was no help with the birds that kept flying through the door within the room. Me and another guest from another table had to try to push the bird out
I wasn't seated even on the patio.
Unlike other afternoon teas I have been to, this one doesn't refill the tea leaves just more water and only one choice of tea.
Service wasn't attentive. There was 20 minutes where I didnt see a server and was ready to pay the bill. They seem to be understaffed
The afternoon tea filled me up. The macarons didn't have much "legs" to them so didn't feel like they were done correctly. The sesame flavor was interesting. The guava sorbet was a nice touch. Nothing stood out flavor wise. I thought the croissant was a bit dry and old. The eclair tasted like a frozen cream puff from the grocery store that has sat too long.

A nice place for Breakfast.
Plenty of options for breakfast.
The omelets are very good, made with fresh ingredients.
The view is very nice. Staff are excellent and very attentive. It is expensive.

Had a fantastic time celebrating Mother’s Day. Highly recommend coming for tea. This is now a new tradition for us and we can wait to come back! Amazing service and very friendly staff.
We decided to come here for breakfast buffet. From 6 am to 10 am, Price: $48 for adults and $22 for children (12 and under). If you are local (Kamaʻāina) you can get a 15% discount. The view is amazing, the service is excellent. I expected more food selection, but overall not bad. When you arrive, you give the car to the valet and he parks the car for you, it’s very convenient, a maximum of 4 hours for free.
I have been here several times over the past year for "high tea." It is always amazing, from the food & service to the beautiful ocean and courtyard views. We celebrated our anniversary with friend from out of state and everything was wonderful. We all chose the Moana Classic Tea with finger sandwiches, sweet offerings, tropical sorbet and tea (we each chose a different flavor). A few of my favorites (this time) were the Ratatouille Tart and the Smoked Salmon Mousse Blini, but I really enjoyed them all.Our friend has a food allergy and our server was very accommodating. He made other suggestions to some of the sandwiches and all of the "exchanges" were fabulous. Each time we have been, the menu has changed, although most of the tea's are the same flavors (only 2 or 3 have changed). The quality of the food is the same (5 stars)
I would definitely suggest Moana Surfer Rider - The Veranda at the Beachhouse for all of your special occasions.

Veranda Afternoon Tea!! My friends and I were here for afternoon tea on Sunday and we loved it. They provided variety of the tea menus and we got the royal set for all of us. Everything was so good especially the local tea that you can only get here in Hawaii and nowhere else! And Ryan was taking care of us the whole time, very attentive and knowledgeable about food and drink here. Thumbs up!
Are you the one who loves tea and enjoys scones and small sandwiches? If you are traveling to Hawaii then this is the tea spot for you. You have 3 choices to select and a variety of teas to select. The atmosphere is beautiful as its right by the beach with oceanfront view. They have great customer service and you can take home what you don't enjoy there. The teas are from natural tea leaves. The pineapple sorbet is delicious. This is located in a Marriott hotel for Marriott Elite members with families. Nice for Mother and daughter tea moments or those who enjoy tea moments the English way. ENJOY!
