Good because it’s time for a refresh to the menu and decor.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Any word on how much of change it will be? I agree a refresh is in order but overall we always got a solid meal there

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Doesn't seem long enough to do anything major. Maybe some light refreshing?

I've been eating at Kona almost every trip for the last 10 years but the last few times I ate there, the food has been the worst it's ever been. Just my opinion, but hopefully they will address that.

We don't know the end date.

Here's hoping they bring back the octopus salad when they reopen.

Yeah the food, particularly in the later part of the day, dislike cafeteria asian, if that.

How is this resort going to manage with only one table service? It can barely handle the load already.

Waterfront dining al fresco? Gatortail on the menu

We're going in late August so started checking what goes quickest and for whatever it's worth it's showing availability to book for August 5th (60 days out currently)...........

Yes reservations will be available through August 14

 

[DomVF07]

Yup caught it and deleted my apologies. Since we're going late August when our window opens I'll update!

I was so hoping it would be back before the end of October for our trip. We've been going to Kona every year since our honeymoon in 96. We honeymooned at Poly, so Kona was a daily thing for us on that trip.

Kind of a bummer we have to break the tradition. Whispering Canyon is getting our traditional breakfast this year.

Do we know if the new menu has been released yet? It looks like the old one is still on the website.

will be interesting to see what this looks like; themed, or generic marriott direction like the other locations.

You just know it's going to be heavy Club Marriott room at the Fairfield Inn by Des Moines Downtown feel.
