Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Escape198037Port Orchard, WA2 contributionsI was looking for a place to relax and have a good cigar after a long week of work in the hot sun on my last night on the Big Island. I checked out things to do on the AirBnB app under the “Experiences” heading. I was surprised to find a place I could enjoy a cigar. Richard is a great host and has a impressive location and selection of good cigars. I have been fortunate to be able to travel to many awesome locations around the world and enjoyed cigars in most of them. But I must say that this place is one of the best! With amazing views and hospitality, I will be sure to return as soon as life allows. Richard’s Cigar and Ukulele is one of the great places I have been, so if you enjoy cigars and great conversations this is it! He is an outstanding host! I will spread the word, hoping I can bring you more visitors to enjoy your paradise.Written 6 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- janicepkAnnapolis, MD1,060 contributionsThis was an amazing experience that we just happened upon. There
is a path to walk down through this incredible botanical garden design by the Japanese owner. It is meticulously kept up and eat area is more beautiful than the next. We wound our way down to the bottom where the infinity pool is and sat at tables to sample their coffee. This coffee is only sold at this Plantation and the rest is shipped over to Japan. An incredible experience.Written 9 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BigihiguyDallas, TX19 contributionsThis is a fun and friendly place to have happy hour while you dangle your toes in the sand and watch for the Green Flash at sunset! They do offer a very limited happy hour special drink and pupu menu which stretches your vacation entertainment dollar.
The bright shining SuperStars of On The Rocks?
The young server, Nick made us feel like family and was very attentive, polite and professional.
And Tricia and Carina are the hostesses with the lovely, sharing open hearts!
We thoroughly enjoyed 3.5 hours of drinks, pupus and comaraderie and we were sad to depart, but we will be back again before we leave the island.Written 22 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SusanG9141Larchmont, NY112 contributionsWe were a group of 12 (6 couples) and amazingly our charming waitress remembered every order without writing it down, including substitutions and eliminations. Food was delicious and service was friendly and attentive.

- Sams B5 contributionsI’ve been to the bar three time. Sit at the bar. Everyone seems very friendly. I was a visitor and it appears that all the others know each other. Lots of joking and having fun. Appears to be pet friendly place. Saw dogs and birds in the bar. Nice place to get out of the sun, visit, have a cold beer. They have WiFi.Written 1 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- wendyc13Wentzville, MO153 contributionswe had our first drink and meal here after checking in to Mauna Lani. Drinks were good and dinner was just ok. It was super quite and not busy when we were there but it looks like when in season there is live music.Written 27 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rob MEscondido, CA2,748 contributionsUsed to visit their store in the hills above Captain Cook, and their mobile truck in Kona, but both are long gone. You can still find Ferrari Coffee at various locations around town, or it's also available online for under $30 a pound. Good 100% Kona coffee.Written 15 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuvY0gaDallas, TX215 contributionsWe wanted an easy bar to watch a football game at and have a drink before heading to the airport. My husband chose this place. At first, I was hesitant on going inside thinking all heads would turn wondering why these tourists are walking into this local dive bar. Well, it was the opposite. Super friendly people at the bar and behind the bar. We even met the owner and had a nice chat with him too. The bartender made me an excellent margarita that wasn't too sweet. We will definitely stop in the next time we're in Kona or on our way to the airport.Written 18 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- scottofhawaiiHonolulu, HI8,078 contributionsWhere do I? It was a few weeks ago when I was here, so I guess it left a lasting impression. I don't usually write about anything this long after it happened. Yea, I feel I needed to write a few words about me being here. So Pahoa is kind of a hippy town I guess - I don't know what else to call it or if I should call it anything. I visited the Big Island for three days. I flew into Hilo, and my AirBnB was halfway between there and here. I came to Pahoa you know trying, and it worked out pretty much - I mean like quality issues. People on the street laidback and friendly enough I guess. I went into this place and talked with a bunch of people. Bartender pretty awesome guy in dreads and explained all about kava while he was making it. Then a kava ritual ceremony thing because it was my first time. Bartender knew what he was doing. The kava really didn't taste like anything, but I'm pretty sure it did something like what they say it's supposed to do. I started talking with this other guy who I think said he was roommates with the bartender - big guy like I think 60. He was alright and said some things I still remember and kind of think about. So I guess I'm writing this review now and wanting you to know I liked being here and felt like I belong here even though I don't look like I do.Written 2 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbi BFort Myers Beach, FL13 contributionsI thought Pahoa was a sweet, quaint town. We visited The Big Island to see if that was where we wanted to move. Well, the answer is YES! We are in the process now. So laid back, like living back in the 70s. We loved Pahoa! The little Market was wonderful. Had the best sub I have ever had. Can't wait to get there!Written 13 December 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lee MIsland of Hawaii, HI8 contributionsWent to Karmas Sportsbar the other week, not for drinks and dancing... But for Japanese Shabu Shabu. So if your expecting a review on the Nightclub... Sorry.
Shabu Shabu is a japanese soup type dish consisting of a selection of beef, fish, or pork that you throw together and cook at your table. You have a choice of 3 types of broths and there are additional side ingredients that you can add. This is the first time I tried this dish and I must say it was good. Service was friendly, fast and the price was reasonable... If you are going there remember this is a sports bar and nightclub first, Shabu Shabu is served only on selected nights.Written 2 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
