Since we were staying at Aulanim no, we decided to order from Off the Hook one morning. When we…read morelived in Hawaiʻi, I would bring my Mickey waffle maker and make breakfast for my family. Since we moved away, I wanted to make sure we enjoyed Mickey waffles at least once during our stay. I ordered the kids' Mickey Waffles and the adult size. It came with a choice of meat and fresh fruit. The waffles were soft, fluffy, and dusted with powdered sugar. The bacon was crispy. My nephew really liked the Portuguese sausage. I also ordered the Aulani Special blended drink, a mac nut mocha blended with your choice syrup, while my brother got the iced version of the Aulani Special with whipped cream. The blended Aulani Special was good! Nice consistency, flavor and it was nice on a humid day. Off the hook is an outdoor casual dining area. There is bar seating and tables that you seat yourself. We decided to eat back at the room overlooking the beach Location: Next to the Waikolohe Valley pool area, near the entrance to the beach. It's across to 'AMA'AMA - Contemporary Island Cooking.

The lots open from sun rise and close at sunset. At the same area near lagoon four is paid parking on the left side. If we stay again we will order breakfast from here and get a coffee to start the day . I want to try eating at night under the stars.

The wings were pretty good, but the sliders were just okay and didn't really stand out to us. The service was also a little slow, which was disappointing given that Aulani is such a beautiful resort and the restaurant has such a nice atmosphere. Overall, I think the setting was definitely the highlight, but the food and service left a little more to be desired.

Play Tourist and Enjoy Happy Hour…read more Monkeypod is a nice spot on the west side in Ko Olina when you want to play tourist and enjoy a great happy hour. The Korean pork tacos were our favorite bite. The avocado cucumber salad was surprisingly good and very refreshing. The lobster deviled eggs were a nice treat, and you really can't go wrong with the Parmesan fries. Good food, good drinks, and a Ko Olina setting. Sometimes it's fun to play tourist in your own backyard. Make sure you pay for parking and do it accurately, the fines are steep and they are very strict.

I had heard of this…read moreplace from another friend who is a concierge so I put it on my "list of stuff to eventually try". Well, I didn't anticipate trying it so soon! We went on a Saturday, getting to the resort before 4:30 and then up we went with our special key from the front desk. We didn't have to use the key. When we got to the room, it is unassuming as it blends in with other rooms...except not. Followed the instructions on the door and it was so cool we closed the door and video taped it. I think it threw off the people working as they expected patrons. The walk in the hallway threw me off a little but after you walk through the small room...WOW. All I had to say was WOW. Because I had no expectation everything was so exciting. There was a "rooftop bar" feel to the place and the view was so nice. (Although I could do with less tree-view) It would have been nice to have been early enough to get seats at the railing but we didn't know you could get there before 4:30 and there was already a few groups there. Seating is first come first serve so we opted for a high top table tucked in the back that the 4 of us could sit and chat but still enjoy the view. I took a few photos but mostly enjoyed the ambiance and the girl talk. I don't know why I thought there would be light pupus but nope, no food. Just some olives and nuts. I wish I took photos of the drink selection menu because I don't remember what was in my drink. The names of the cocktails were fun though! I enjoyed a "Lifted 'Yota" which was fun and tasty. They also serve mocktails if you don't want to have the alcohol. All in all, I loved the experience we had and my friends and I look forward to coming back. I mean, there's an extensive beverage list and I must try something else!

I didn't notice until after we signed the tab. The pork was good, but IMO more southern than kahlua. Also, I should have had them omit the American cheese as well as the gouda. No self-respecting shredded pork sandwich should have any cheese. The fish tacos looked good; there were four but they were small (street tacos) and the tortillas couldn't hold up to the sauce. We had breakfast another day (eggs & breakfast meat) and french toast. The eggs & breakfast meat combo was huge, the scrambled eggs cooked just the way I like them, breakfast potatoes nice and crispy and properly cooked bacon. The french toast came with lillikoi mascarpone, berry preserves and syrup. the LILLIKOI MASCARPONE was to die for. I am not ashamed to admit I licked the container. Dinner service was at the table. Our server was very nice and VERY hyper. But super nice. Food was served promptly. Breakfast service was order at the bar and everything was delivered to the table in to-go containers. It was packed well, with all the cutlery and condiments included. I'd definitely come back for breakfast just for the lillikoi mascarpone.

Well well well…read more..... Time has continued to move on and sadly it's not for the better for this restaurant and bar. It seemed like yesterday the frozen Mai Tai's were $7.50 for HH and they gave you some extra ounces for HH as well. Now it's only a 12 oz Frozen Mai Tai and $3 off for HH, going from $23 to $20. It's a disappointment and of course a sign of the times. Prices have increased everywhere, so I get it. We tried their ahi poke bowl and it was better than I expected. Had pieces of cucumber, rice, ginger and tender bites of ahi. The mahi fish tacos on the other hand were dried out and chewy. I would not order those again. The employees are always friendly and upbeat here, so that's a plus. The wind was blowing so hard we had to take our food to go and eat it back in the room. Very windy due to NOLO hurricane west of us.

Aulani just recently celebrated their 15 year anniversary. I was lucky to be there around the…read morefestivities and having visited Aulani with a gap of over 5 years in-between I can say the feeling of "Ohana" has never changed. From the moment you walk in from the entrance to the main hall the towering ceiling above gives you a sense of grandeur and Hawaiian pride. Though everything has the Disney touch to it, the culture and mana of the islands feel like they've settled on the grounds. It helps when the community plays a big part in activities and decisions made for the operations. Aulani is a large employer of Hawaiians of course, but it feels like the culture is also respected in regards to their day-to-day operations. From monthly events showcasing different hālau hula to storytelling to the keiki (children) about Polynesian culture, Aulani feels like they respect the land and the people. All that being said, the property itself is wonderful. Having a lazy river, their own cove into the ocean, large towers overlooking the island, several restaurants on property, easy fast casual dining options, plenty of pools, and proximity to Monkeypod across the street, many people who visit never step foot outside the resort for good reason. The property is so self sustaining you can really enjoy "your rent" haha. Though Aulani is never the only destination when visiting Oahu, it is a trip worth taking when you want the distinct experiences of Disney and Polynesian hospitality mixed together. A truly fun family space, if you're in Oahu and looking for the above sentiment, there's no reason not to visit.

$1000 a night for me to have to make reservations for breakfast lunch and dinner is ridiculous. I…read moredon't know what kind of program. Disney is running over here but it's garbage. This has been the worst experience I've ever had staying in a hotel when do you need to make a reservation to eat your restaurant when I've already made a reservation to stay in your hotel makes no sense. It's OK. We found a restaurant way better we're not gonna be spending any money at this hotel. Honestly, it's a bad experience, overpriced overpaid. The rooms are basic. It's like a hotel in Las Vegas like the circa. I don't recommend this not $1000 a night. Having to make reservations for food at a kids friendly hotel is crazy. What kids do you know that eat on a time schedule they're hungry when they're hungry. You guys lose money on this one thank you. Island vintage coffee shop for the great food. They have a Keurig coffee maker inside of the room with cups and everything but the downfall to that is your coffee taste like plastic and paper cup. It's a really bad idea. Honestly, the hotel is nice. It's a basic standard room that you would see in any other resort style hotel style complex overrated overpriced overplayed too many rules coming from somebody that lives on the island I will not be recommending this place. The most standard rooms I've ever seen though no bath robes you're paying $1000 a night. You can stay at a way nicer hotel for that price and get so many more amenities.

We came at 7am which was so nice because it wasn't crowded. We got some extra time with Mickey Mouse in the beginning and since it wasn't crowded, the characters visited our table 2-3 times.

They were SO kind in having gluten free options (gluten free waffles, fruit, gluten free muffins). The gluten free food was delicious. We all loved our food and we really had a great time! Beautiful view and environment too! Dinner- This was absolutely the best dinner we had during our trip. It's a 3 course meal and you get to choose off of the menu. I got the corn chowder, prime rib, and pineapple dessert. My date got the tomato soup, seared ahi, and pineapple dessert. All of the food was amazingggg! We also LOVED our drinks we ordered.
