We went here twice (not by my choice, once would've been enough). But the first night was great,…read moreour server, Shauna from KĂNEOHE was friendly, we had the Steak Bites, side of rice and PUA'A KĀLUA GRATIN (that was very good)!! Second time we had the pork sliders (mushy and tasteless) and the Bang Bang fries and dulce de leche cheesecake that were also not full of flavor. Glad we came the first night, regretted the second. There's live music there in the evening which was nice and very relaxing, and one of the reasons we went.

We ventured off the Ko Olina property and headed down the street to the monkeypod, which was a nice…read morechange of atmosphere which was lively. The service was excellent and the food was good. Definitely a step above typical pub fair That said, I found it to be a bit excessive. The guests are charged for parking while actively patronizing the restaurants and businesses on site even more frustrating. If you don't properly scan and register your parking you will receive a $49 to start out with a ticket as my son unfortunately, learned the hard way. you think if you patronize an establishment they would validate your parking so you don't have to pay. As for the dining experience, monkeypod promotes a local farm to table concept, and the quality of the ingredients seem to support that the food was enjoyable and the Service was outstanding just be prepared for the price tag. Our Bill for seven people was around 500 so while it was good a good meal it certainly wasn't inexpensive. Overall, I recommend the monkey pod for atmosphere service and quality food. Just go in knowing that both parking and dining come in a premium.

My friend hosted a girl's night out here and I had no idea what to expect. 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!

Great portions and flavors. We enjoyed the kimchi pancake, duck fat fried rice, chicken wings, and tacos. I had a seen a previous review about it being dirty , the floor definitely had not been swept in a while. But everything else (tables, benches) seemed clean and I watched them spray down used tables. We would come back again!

Our stay was at the beginning of May when the main pool was closed so the infinity pool was always packed with kids. There was an adult only pool that was always quiet and relaxing. We mainly stayed there for the most part. Food around the resort was good, but expensive. We did the luau, which was fun but very expensive and I would never pay that much again. We did it because it was on property and convenient. I think I booked it the first day I could 90 days out or something. It's open bar and prime rib, and some Hawaiian food. The lazy river is fun, and snorkeling in the reef was a blast. It was not cold at all.. took the free ukulele lessons, which was about a half an hour just to get the hang of it. Get the refillable cup it's worth the money. Also, buy a popcorn bucket and get three dollar refills. Try the breakfast flatbread ($20) at Ulu cafe-so yummy, and they have a daily special that we tried for dinner and it was so good! Ordered the lobster roll at the pool from Off The Hook, so worth it!! Also, don't forget the shaved ice! Reserve a cabana, very relaxing and fun. Casabella's by beach are directly in sun most of the day, so beware.

I have tried to go to Aulani three times. There's virtually no public parking. They will deny this…read morebut they have a lot that holds about 20 cars for the public coming from other areas to use the Beach. I don't believe they would give a public parking lot at all, but the state of Hawaii made them. The whole vibe of the place is to squeeze you for every dime. The actual water in the ocean in front of the hotel is cloudy murky and filthy with debris. I'm staying in Waikiki right across from the beach. The water is transparent. I've tried to go there three times didn't want to go the last time, but my niece and my adult children wanted to go. I had to pay $40 for parking because they're tiny public. Lots were all full. The whole place stinks of entitlement. I told my wife this is the last time I'm coming here.

The best on island, better than Leonard's in my opinion. The dough was so soft and bread was sweet, no toughness at all. The food was good, my daughter had waffles, a drink, malasada and fruit that came with her meal. She was so happy and so was I. The characters are great with interaction. I noticed them interacting with everyone, not just the standard hi and bye but went above and beyond to make experiences at each table. They made us feel special. There was live music, she also interacted with the crowd and her singing just elevated the entire experience. This place is not only for food, but to experience the Disney magic and I definitely felt that here. A must if you're staying at Aulani.

This has been our 4th visit to Makahiki as we usually do dinner reservations at least once during…read moreour Aulani stay. Service is always top notch and we always leave with lots of leftovers. I never have done the character breakfast so this review is purely for their dinner experience. I kinda wish though that they change up the menu more as I recall the menu not changing much each time we visit. The dinner menu is a set 3 course meal where you have to pick an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. The kids have a set 3 course meal to choose from as well. This time I ordered their ahi tuna special, which so happened to be the special over 2 years ago lol! I chose their corn chowder as my appetizer and honestly after the cheesy bread rolls and soup, I was pretty stuffed by the time my entree came. It was still a lot of food, and I only took like 3 bites before o threw in the towel. As for the dessert, I chose the dulce de leche cheesecake, which deviates from the usual Mickey brownie with ice cream that I ordered. I still prefer the brownie now that I've tried both. Ambiance is nice and I actually prefer the outdoor seating because I find the architecture and landscape of the resort so beautiful. Overall a solid Disney dining experience, with large portions all around. Definitely worth trying at least once especially if you're staying at the resort!
