The 'Alohilani is a dinner reservation with a room attached. Morimoto Asia, Momosan, SWELL and La Bettola are on site, Spa U'ilani is upstairs and the pool stays open until 10 PM, across Kalakaua Avenue from Kuhio Beach.
The resort's own pages can't agree on the fee: $54 a night plus tax, totalled at $58.99, $63.70 and $64.10 on three different pages. Self-parking adds $55 plus tax.
Its "Exclusive Offers for Oceania Guests" page, a 7-night package from $1,545, doesn't mention cruises — it may mean the region, not the cruise line. Early check-in or late checkout may cost an extra night, per its policies.
Fourteenth on 26 and about 4 miles from Pier 2 by road, our estimate, it's for the dinner, not the drive — book the table first.
Book it if
- Dinner at Morimoto Asia
- A late swim
