Just checked out of Aulani and wanted to share a recap. We booked a poolside garden view & got upgraded to an ocean view room #1146. The view was amazing (see photo). We stayed a week at Aulani which turned out to be nicest resort we've ever stayed at.
FOOD
Highlights:
Poke Bowl from Ulu Cafe
Acai Bowl from Ulu Cafe (good fruits & grains.. eat right away as it melts fast)
Mickey shaved ice w/ condensed milk (we liked strawberry & watermelon the best).
Cinnamon Roll from Olelo Room (they're only available from 7-11am at the bar & are SO GOOD!)
Resort Coffee from Ulu Cafe (buy an Aulani mug at the start of your vacation and it pays off big time - we got 3!)
Character Breakfast - the pasties were fresh & hot! The entree were good but it's the character interactions which made this experience worth it.
Sushi at Olelo Room
Eggs n' Things - it's across the street & highly recommend thier mochi waffle.
Disappointment:
AMA'AMA - we were looking forward to this dinner snd even booked this twice but ended up cancelling the 2nd. The food was just ok and did not meet the price point in our opinion. The steak was bland, Octopus cut so thin & pasta just wasn't good. The fresh bread was the best part.
Overall this is one of the top 3 vacations we've ever taken. We're avid disney cruisers and Aulani had many touches you experience on DCL. We can't wait to return one day - Mahalo!
