We go to aulani every year for 10 days, going for the 7th time in may. We go to Ama once, the character breakfast once and the luau. We go across the street to Monkeypod, which Is fine, Just Tacos, again ok and a pizza place.
Next door is the four seasone with a few restaurants. We like to go happy Hour at The Fish House, sit on the terrace with a drink and an appetizer. It’s from 3 to 5 every day.
we also like Longhi at the Marriott just one lagoon over. Good food and service, well priced and if you go on their luau night...which was Tuesday last year...you can sit on their terrace and listen to or even watch their luau, depending on where you sit.
Many people like Roy’s, just down the street. We are not fans...overpriced just ok food and so so service. We have been disappointed both times we went and vowed not to return. But lots of people disagree.
kapolei which is a five min drive, has many chain restaurants. But we like Assagio an Italian place. You usually need reservations. Good Italian food and welcoming service. Just around the corner from Assagio is a pizza place, brick oven pizza, which doesn’t have any atmosphere but we really liked the pizza.
we have been all over the island so we don’t tend to leave aulani except to go to kapolei for dinner. We also stop on the way from the airport and get groceries. We always have a one bedroom with a kitchen s we make breakfast every day, and sandwiches for lunch which I bring to the pool.
