The newly expanded Aulani

Pool Area

• The Waikolohe Valley pool area offers more fun experiences and dining options than ever before, including:
• A themed family pool (Ka Maka Grotto), featuring an infinity edge, a misty grotto with beautiful sunset views and an after-dark experience with glittering lights
• A kids' splash zone (Keiki Cove) that's designed to resemble a tidal pool, with images of tidal pool creatures on the pool floor, rainbow water jets and hidden menehune – the legendary “little people” of the islands
• Additional deck space, chairs, chaises and cabanas surrounding the new water features
• A poolside dining venue (Ulu Cafe) serving breakfast, lunch and dinner – and featuring an outdoor patio with beautiful ocean view
• Wailana Pool – formerly the quiet pool – is now an adult-exclusive pool area

Dining
2 new quick-service dining locations:

• Ulu Cafe, a poolside venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner – and featuring an outdoor patio with beautiful ocean view
• Little ‘Opihi's, a beachside, quick-service eatery with convenient grab-and-go selections

I'm so glad they included some new quick-service options.  Food in Hawaii is not cheap, so having a few less pricey options will be great for anyone's vacation budget.  Plus, we often prefer a very casual atmosphere.

Shopping

• The newest store at Aulani, Hale Manu features a variety of high-end goods and gifts. Hale Manu means “bird house” in Hawaiian—and here you'll find merchandise that's as exquisite as the birds of Hawai‘i. This boutique is located just off the Maka‘ala (lobby) and across from Kālepa's Store.
