About Loulu

Loulu, located within the Grand Wailea resort, offers a diverse menu that caters to various tastes. Reviewers have noted that the food is generally well-prepared and fresh, with the Buddha Bowl and Margarita pizza being standout favorites. The restaurant's staff is described as friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient, especially given the large menu. Guests can enjoy outdoor patio seating with beautiful scenery overlooking the gardens and an ocean view, making it a great spot for breakfast, coffee, or a quick snack. The breakfast pastries and Portuguese sausage in breakfast bowls are highly praised, and the gelatos, especially the dark chocolate, are popular treats. Loulu also serves wood-fired pizza and crisp fries, which have received positive remarks.

Some guests find the prices to be quite high, as expected in a resort setting, with extra charges for items like coffee, gelato, and toppings. The Loco Moco and Salmon Poke Bowl have received mixed reviews, with the former being described as tough and the latter needing more accompaniments. The food quality is considered mediocre compared to the resort’s standards, giving the impression of a convenience spot for resort guests with dining credits rather than a destination for excellent meals. The sandwiches have been called terrible, but the smoked salmon flatbread is seen as a better option.

Loulu is a convenient choice for guests staying at the resort, especially for those looking for a quick coffee or snack without leaving the property. It is open early, making it suitable for breakfast and morning coffee. The outdoor patio offers a good view of the resort and gardens, making it an enjoyable spot for a quick bite. Some visitors walk from nearby shops for better quick options, but Loulu remains an easy, everyday dining spot for resort visitors. Recent reviews mention that the food and snacks are decent, with the loco moco, açaí bowl, and soft serve being the best items. The staff is friendly and efficient, and during a collaboration with Erewhon, guests enjoyed seeing some of those products, which are known for their high cost.
