Question

Any recommendations for a good Easter Brunch buffet?

Family of 5 (3 kids). They eat everything.

Answer

Here are some really good Easter brunch (or buffet) options on Kauaʻi, plus what to consider with a family of 5 (3 kids) who “eat everything.” Easter brunch on Kauaʻi can be a special event, especially at resort-restaurants, so planning ahead is wise.

Grand Hyatt Kauaʻi – Ilima Terrace Easter Buffet: This is one of the most popular Easter brunch buffets on the island. According to the event calendar, it runs from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Cost: ~$109 for adults, and $52 for keiki aged 6–12; children under 6 may be free with an adult buffet.
Why consider it: Huge variety (seafood, sushi, grilled meats, carving stations, desserts), very kid-friendly, and a lovely ocean-/garden-view setting.
Kilohana / Gaylord’s – Plantation House Easter Brunch: Located in the historic Kilohana Plantation, this is a more “local plantation”-style brunch.
Cost: $68.50 for adults, $26 for children 12 and under.
Menu highlights: Scrambled eggs, French toast, mac & cheese, prime rib carving station, roast pork, fresh island catch, ahi poke, a build-your-own omelet station, pastries, and chocolate fountain.
Why consider it: Scenic, relaxed, and a very authentic island plantation feel — great for families who want a memorable meal without being “just another resort buffet.”
Sheraton Kauaʻi Coconut Beach Resort – Daybreak Restaurant Easter Buffet: If you’re on or near the east side of the island (Kapaʻa area), this is a solid pick.
Time: 10:30 am – 2:30 pm.
Menu: Includes roasted prime rib, seafood station (snow crab legs, poke), mahi mahi, grilled hibachi chicken, salads, breakfast favorites, and a dessert station.
Why consider it: Less “resort-grand” than the Hyatt, but still offers a buffet with breadth, and likely more affordable or accessible depending on where you're staying.

My Recommendation for Your Family:

If you want a “special Easter experience” and don’t mind paying a bit more, the Grand Hyatt Ilima Terrace is perfect — lots of variety, upscale feel, and a festive atmosphere.
If you prefer something charming, family-friendly, and feel-good without breaking the bank too much, Kilohana / Gaylord’s offers a lovely plantation-style brunch with lots of kid-friendly favorites.
If you're staying closer to Kapaʻa or want to avoid the busier resort areas, the Sheraton’s Daybreak Easter Buffet is a very good option.

Tips:

Make reservations early — Easter brunches at resorts fill up fast.
Ask about “keiki” pricing — often kids under a certain age have discounted rates or free items.
Arrive early if you want good seating or to avoid long lines at the buffet stations.
Check with the restaurant / resort a few weeks before your trip to confirm pricing, as Easter brunch menus and prices can change yearly.

Hope this helps you pick a great spot for Easter brunch with your family!
