    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 :)

    Good solid experience with nice food and nice ambiance and decent service…read more Caesar salad was good and fresh 9/10. Siamin was maybe my favorite dish, smokey the noodles extra al dente and the pork was flavorful 9.5/10. Pesto Gnocchi was pillowy and soft and the pesto sauce was light and flavorful and was one of the few vegetarian options. I would get again 8/10. Side of broccoli was spicy and zesty 9/10. Cocktails were also very nice way to start. It's a tradition to always hit the minkeypod when in hawaii and will continue. Don't forget the pies! Overall, definitely a touristy vibe but pretty good quality overall.

    Came here while staying at Aulani. We weren't too hungry yet and mainly got appetizers and drinks…read moreduring happy hour. Majority of the appetizers we got were good. - truffle fries..well...their truffle fries and cant really go wrong - taro dumplings (i forgot if thats what we got but they were good but not blown away either) - corn chowder was good - brisket pesto pizza? (Im overdue with the review so forgot what pizza it exactly was) but i remember this was good. It was in the happy hour menu is all i can remember. - wings but unsure about the goat cheese dip. I prefer plain ranch - the kids pasta was good. Well, one kiddo loved it while the other didn't. So it depends on preferences on this one. I will say i did taste it and it was meh... - another kiddo got the shoyu noodles and its plain. So if you got a simple palate plain jane child, they will like this one. For drinks, it depends on taste and preferences. I was bummed on this one. Mainly looking fwd to the drinks and it didn't satisfy my tastebuds. It was too twisted, fusion, modified etc. i prefer a mai tai a plain old fashioned mai tai without the fixings. The orange foam was too strong it overwhelmed the dark rum im used to and prefer. So i decided to try the ube rey instead which was much better but still not as much to my liking/preferences. Went back to Aulani a but bummed and decided to get another at Aulani the next day instead and I will say, i liked it better as it followed the more traditional way of making it. So if you prefer traditional ways, this may not be for you and if planning to drink, simply keep with the simplier generic drinks, wine or beer. If you prefer to try different ways and flavors, then you will love this. Service was great and our server was attentive at all times. Thank you. Ambiance was good but outdoor seating may be a bit of a nuance due to flies swarming around you often. The swinging table fan helps but are still annoying plus the tropical heat also didn't help.

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!

    The atmosphere is very nice. It's like a secret place to be. The service is excellent. We really…read moreenjoyed the drinks. Their drinks were unique according to my cousin.

    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.

We never had our waters filled throughout our entire meal. She never asked if we wanted dessert. Again, I don't think it was her I just think she needed help. She had a lot of tables and a big party she was taking care of. The food was ok. My husband's hamburger looked amazing but lacked flavor. I feel like the patty was not a smash burger patty and it was not seasoned. My tacos were good but super greasy. The pretzel was amazing and I loved the cheese it came with.

We are in the area a few times a year and we've never been to 808 Craft House before, mostly because there are so many great restaurants and we'd never heard much about it.

They had multiple televisions, cold beers on draft and a happy hour that runs from 3-5 pm. We had some Happy Hour Pizzas (you can get a personal pizza with 2 toppings for $10), and Happy Hour Burgers & Fries for $15. On the non-Happy Hour menu, I shared a Chicken Club Sandwich and this was a great decision. I really liked it. All in all, a pretty great, more casual option for dining in Ko'Olina. We'll be back.
