    a hand holding a cup of coffee
    Jasmine T.

    I love that this is open early in the morning (6am). My sister and I would get up early, grab our coffee & watch the sunrise on the beach. I do wish that they closed later since they close the coffee bar at 10am. I was able to try: caramel macchiato, Maui's favorite (blended) & Aulani special (blended). I don't think there's anything amazing about them but it gave me the kick I needed in the morning. The blended drinks were like Frappuccinos but they do have a good amount of coffee. They also have non dairy milk options for you to substitute if needed.

    I love the Mickey latte art!
    Jessica T.

    The coffee bar opens at 6AM for a good reason: There's nothing better than starting your day lounging on the beach with a hot cup of coffee. During my stay, went to the coffee bar every morning around 6am (thanks jet lag) and I regret nothing! There was almost no line and the baristas were really chill. I received my drinks in under 10 minutes and one of the days, the barista made Mickey latte art and it was really cute! Also, the cups for the hot lattes are so cute!? Aulani Special, Mocha Macnut: 5/5 I drank this for 3 days straight and I highly recommend ordering it hot! It tastes delicious and I loved the hint of macadamia in it. They don't sell any flavors like this at home, so I took advantage of it while I could. The iced version is good too, but the hot latte just hit different and warmed me up on the cold beach! Just a heads up, the coffee bar is only open from 6am-10am, then they switch to breakfast/lunch menus, so make sure you go early! Some of my favorite resort memories are watching the sun go up with a hot Mocha Macnut in my hand. Definitely recommend!

    Ahi poke nachos (with wonton chips)

    Wow, we were pleasantly surprised with the food from Wailana. We didn't expect much as it was a pool bar, but we ordered the poke nachos and Korean wings for brunch, and they were both phenomenal and deeply flavorful. I can't wait to return to Aulani to try Wailana again while we're at the pool.

    Chinese Chicken Salad
    Sang Yoon K.

    It's expensive but the chinese chicken salad was pretty amazing. I was surprised with the scallion oil addition to make it true to the cold hainan chicken taste. It was about $14 and water around $4, but if you're willing to dish it out it does taste good!

    Fish Tacos made with Mahi-Mahi
    Angelo B.

    Maui-Mahi fish tacos! This is my favorite when visiting Aulani. Always fresh fish and great portion size for lunch. I always order them with fries and they are the best.

    Blended espresso (after I added black coffee to it because it was WHITE).
    Lanz P.

    Hmmm. Let's see. Horrible. 10 minute wait to order. 20 minute wait to get your drink. I ordered a blended espresso which tasted alright if you wanted a milkshake. It only tasted and looked like milk. I would have given 2 stars if the cashier didn't put her fingers INSIDE my cup when grabbing it and passing it to the barista. In times of a pandemic you would think she would be trained more. She is handling cash and sticking her nasty fingers inside my cup. Disgusting. If Oshe saw this, then it would be an issue. Barista was friendly, but looked over worked. She was slammed and didn't have time to pull her face mask up over her nose. Come on disney! Buy her one that stays on her face.

    The Aulani Special (iced)
    Melissa K.

    We stopped here almost daily during our trip to Aulani for our morning pick me up, in fact the barista started to recognize us and knew our orders by day 3. The prices here are high, but on par with what you'd find elsewhere in Ko'Olina, so nothing to complain about there. My drink of choice became the Aulani Special, an iced mocha with macadamia nut syrup. While the pool bar is open all day, I found it frustrating that the coffee menu was only available during the morning hours. If I wanted a latte in the afternoon I had to head across the a street to Ko'Olina Station. All in all, it's a great spot for a caffeinated pick-me-up, just be sure to research the hours ahead of time.

    Pumpkin s'mores cupcake
    Brit V.

    Coffee was just so-so. They didn't have decaf espresso when I was there, which would've been nice for a pregnant mama. Their espresso grinder was broken. Nice selection of treats and pastries for the morning time to have with your coffee. I ended up walking across the street to other coffee shops the rest of the stay.

    iced caramel macchiato- always enough caramel!
    Natalie J.

    The best coffee for in the mornings, along with some amazing views since you are near the pool and beach :)

It's so good and has a yummy whip on top. I also got a lychee drink which was also very yummy! For food, we got the fish and chips! There was also a miscommunication and they brought out a random fish taco, so they gave it to us for free lol The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and had lots of seating. They had both indoor and outdoor seating and a bar. Outside they had live music, which was really nice to have during lunch :) Staff were great and sooo helpful. Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was amazing. I took off a star for pricing. We each got a drink and we shared fish and chips and our bill was $100 with tip. We felt that was a bit steep for sharing a meal and having 1 drink each. My friends who live on the Island said that other locations were way cheaper, so it's a bummer this one was more expensive. I'm assuming it's because it's across from Aulani. We noticed that the menu here was more expensive than eating at Aulani, so next time we'll probably just stay at the resort. Either way, food and experience were great but we probably won't return because of the pricing.

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!

    Longhi's Ko Olina is one of the two restaurants that the Marriott in Ko Olina have to offer at…read moretheir resort in Hawaii. The hotel is pretty secluded compared to being right in the city, but if you don't mind a walk, is close to a small shopping center with a few other food places and the hotels next door. The Marriott's other restaurant, Longboard's, is more casual, while this restaurant, Longhi's, is their fancier option for fine dining. With this in mind, this restaurant is, at the end of the day, is just alright. The seating area has the best views, but is slightly packed, although it is truly a beautiful ambiance. It is somewhat in the middle of the hotel, though. However, the service was lacking, if even present, and the food is, as expected, pricey. For some guests, hotels gave them vouchers to redeem at the restaurants near by, and this was one of those restaurants that you could redeem it at. With the voucher, this restaurant is a little bit easier to justify, but without, you are left paying high prices for fine food and a great view. If you are on the resort, then this is also easier to justify, as it is one of the closer options compared to the others. If you're not staying at the Marriott connected to it, then I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to go here. We ordered the crab cakes and the shrimp risotto. The crab cakes were really good, with a few different textures like the crunchies on top! If you like crab or crab cakes, or if you want to try something new, I would suggest that you order this or split it with a friend or partner. The shrimp risotto was fine, but after trying it, I ended up wishing that I ordered something else on the menu. It wasn't that it was bad, it just was okay. I feel like people have certain expectations for a higher end restaurant like this, and it wasn't hard to see why after going, that this restaurant is rated the way it is.
