DH & I spent 10 glorious days at AKL and used DDP to the max! Jinko and CA Grill were two of the high points of our trip. Food, service, and atmosphere at both were fabulous. (We requested the wine room at CA Grill, so it was wonderfully quiet and we watched Illuminations while dining then stepped out on the deck to see Wishes before dessert.) Jinko was elegant and very romantic. The cost of these two meals (including a glass of wine with dinner), was over $300. Even without the DDP, we would have gladly paid the bill and felt we got our money's worth.
Coral Reef was another story...Do not waste your precious time or DDP credits here. The atmosphere is lovely...we had a table tank side. The lobster bisque is also very good. That, however, is all that was good, IMHO. My tuna was tasteless. DH had a few very tough pieces of shrimp and a tiny amount of pasta. Even the chocolate wave that I had so been looking forward to was a disappointment...cake was crusty on the outside and there was no chocolate "wave" just a stale cookie.
Service at CR was even worse than the food. We both felt as if we were an afterthought and inconvenience to our server. She did not deserve the 18% she received because we paid with DDP. The bill came to $109. Not worth the price and not worth 1 TS credit! Just my 2 cents!!
