    Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

    That seems to be the general consensus. I just got back from my second trip. Only had breakfast at Ama'Ama twice and breakfast at Makahiki once. Just wasn't impressed with the dinner at either restaurant on our first trip, especially considering the price.

    At Aulani - First Impressions

    The people who I talked to at home that had done the Dole Plantation over the years said to skip it. "cheesy tourist trap" is how one friend described it. So I just drive right on by. I hear the Dole whip is tasty though.

    At Aulani - First Impressions

    Yeah it was fun. Kids loved it, my wife had fun. It's good entertainment if you have never been to a Luau before, which I hadn't.

    At Aulani - First Impressions

    I booked January 15 for the February 11th show. We were right in front on the right side of the stage. Both my son, my daughter, and myself were invited on stage during the show.

    Aulani: What's the One Thing You Wish You Knew?

    One improvement from my first trip to Aulani a year ago (February 4 - 14, 2013) and my current trip, is the water temperature of the swimming pools and the lazy river. A year ago, I didn't spend a lot of time in the pool because it was too cold. Every time I got out of the pool I headed for the...

    At Aulani - First Impressions

    My family visited Shark's Cove on the north shore yesterday. The water is shallow enough that you can wade around and see all types of fish. We even saw a Reef Triggerfish, the Hawaii state fish (I don't want to embarrass myself by trying to spell the Hawaiian name), which was very cool for me...

    At Aulani - First Impressions

    I highly recommend Longboards. My family and I have eaten there four times over our last two trips. The food is your typical American cuisine, not exceptional, but good enough. The atmosphere and view make it worthwhile. Very causal setting with a similar view as Ama'Ama. Longboards does not...

    Aulani/Oahu excursions

    Any recommendations for shrimp trucks? Going to the North shore tomorrow. Was in Hale'iwa town on Thursday and ate at Giovanni's shrimp truck. It was ok, but I wouldn't make a point of eating there again.

    Booking Oahu/Aulani activities

    I'm currently here on my second trip to Aulani. I can only comment on the first two weeks in February. Arizona memorial should be booked as soon as possible. I didn't book our tickets for last Tuesday until the middle of January and had to take the 2pm tour on that day because it was the only...

    Interesting that they said the whole resort was down. I have been here since Monday and I watched some of Leno's final show on Thursday night.

    Aulani and Ohau must dos

    Fia Fia Polynesian show down at the Marriott has fire dancers. We watched some of the show when we were waiting for a table at Longboards. I just booked it for our trip next month. Tuesday nights.

    Ama Ama, worth it?

    I think it is great for breakfast. Try the Loco Moco. You can't beat the view. Monkey pod is good as we'll along with Long Boards at the Marriott.

    Aulani - here now - post your questions

    Towels are big enough. We went to Target and bought towels our first morning there. Hardly used them. You would only need towels if you plan on hitting other beaches outside of the resort. We bought shampoo and soap as well.

    Aulani Question

    I had beer in a cooler at the pool and the beach all ten days of my trip in February. Made sandwiches in the room and ate by the pool at lunch. Had chips and salsa by the pool (plastic containers only).

    Aulani - how to plan out the day

    Like others have mentioned, we also had big plans to see all the sites during the ten days were there last month. Outside of heading to Pearl Harbor on our second full day (to see all four attractions took us about 8 hours, if not for the five year old in the family we could have taken much...
