Surrounded by 100 foot trees on all sides and illuminated by picturesque lighting, they couldn't have chosen a better spot. The sky glistened with stars and the air sang with wildlife as we danced the night away. The location had a mobile bar with an incredible bartender and a separate bride and groom facility that was fantastic. When they talk about destination weddings -- these are the places they're talking about. If you're planning a Hawaiin wedding, or even a sweet 16, or other outdoor event, check out Koa's Events. This venue will not disappoint!!!!

From the first contact with them I knew I had found exactly what I needed to make my wedding dreams come true. They came through with not only solutions but additional ideas I had not even dreamed of. The mobile bar was perfect. Not only was it the one stop solution to my open bar needs but the bartender created a signature cocktail for me and my groom. The drinks were a delicious hit and added an extra special spice to our evening. Finally I must rave about the photo both! So much fun and an extra wedding favor for our guest and us. I wanted to add this to my wedding but being able to get the mobile bar AND the Photo Booth at one place was a solid WIN! If you're looking for a way to take the stress off your wedding planning please look no further than Koa Events. You won't be disappointed. Signed a Happy Happy Bride

Nice venue for conferences, weddings, birthday parties, and more!…read moreWonderful service from the staff while here for the Hawai'i Macadamia Nut Association Annual Conference. Delightful fresh breakfast during registration and check in, with iced tea, water, and coffee throughout the day. Filling and tasty buffet lunch to meet every palate. Huge screen for slide shows and power point presentations. Good microphone sound system. Lots of space for vendor displays, and large round tables for attendees. Restrooms were ample albeit a tad worn, and the toilet seat covers did not dispense easily. Nonetheless, this was truly a beautiful setting for a business meeting among colleagues.

We had the whole garden to ourselves as we wonder through.

All of the Arc staff that we interacted with were so attentive and helpful and made sure to check in on us to see if there was anything they could help with throughout the night .

I live in Hilo and was eagerly waiting for the renovations at the new Naniloa. My friend and I…read moredecided to go hear some nice Hawaiian music on Monday night at the lobby bar. We waited about 1/2 hour for some one to come to our table. There were maybe 10 people total at the bar and tables and the waitresses were basically "talking story" and not servicing the customers at all. Finally my friend went to the bar and asked if we had to order at the bar. A young waitress came over asked us for our room number. When we told her we live in Hilo she asked for my credit card. I could hear others sitting at nearby tables complain about the service and going to the bar to order. There did not seem to be a manager around and these ladies were just talking with each other. The service was so so bad that I wondered how this beautiful bar is going to make money. Local people want the new Naniloa to succeed but they must hire people who also want it to succeed. Needless to say, our waitress never came back to see if we wanted to order more wine or pupus. We were there 2 hours. Music was beautiful and the atmosphere is lovely but service gets an "F."

To start, we ordered the poke and the bone marrow. The bone marrow was incredibly flavorful and practically melted in your mouth, and the poke was super fresh. For our entrees, we had the misoyaki butterfish and the prime rib--both were absolutely amazing. To finish the night, we shared the brownie and the mango sherbet, which was the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. The service was quick, the atmosphere was very chill, and it's a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy a really good dinner.

It's edible and tasty but it's definitely not fine dining as it markets itself. The service is decent but not top-notch. My favorite part of this restaurant is the ambiance. If you can be seated near the water- the views are unmatched. The dining room feels somewhat like a cafeteria that's trying to be fancy in the 80s.

Yelp 365 Challenge 2015 #72/365…read more Aunty Sally's Luau House is a great place to have big parties. They have tons of tables and chairs, and a lot of space, as well as lots of free parking. They have everything that a party space needs: a kitchen, bathrooms, and bar areas. One thing about this place is that all the labor and setting up & clean up is the responsibility of the renter. However, if you're with family and friends living in Hawaii, those parts will be a breeze with everyone helping out. Their air conditioning is really good in this place, because even though it can be packed, it'll still be cold inside. I don't know how it is in the women's bathroom, but for the single stall in the men's bathroom, there's no lock, so I wouldn't recommend doing your business in there. As far as types of tables and chairs, they have plastic & wooden tables, along with metal chairs and wooden benches. In my opinion, the wooden benches are much more comfortable than the metal chairs are. I've been to many parties at Aunty Sally's, and the venue is always a good choice.
