This was our 2nd time to visit. The first was 5 yrs ago. Our first visit was amazing. The food, the service, beach access all superior. This 2nd time everyone pointed out the food was sub par and extremely over priced. The staff was attentive and professional as expected and we all complimented the service. The alcohol is set for price gouging and not worth the purchase. Also, you can purchase drinks in the mini-store, but can't consume them anywhere, but your room; thats just not worth the price either. Eat at the Four Seasons next door or across the street at Monkey Pod and skip Aulani. In our opinion the food was better last time. Expect the rooms to be clean and tidy w no issues, the pool to be busy, but still enjoyable and the resort staff attentive to your needs. If your not a good, then this place will do just fine for a normal family.
