Aulani Owners Thread - ALOHA!

[Dfoerch]

The DVC hotel room has:
- 2 queen beds (no sofa)
- balcony
- microwave
- keurig
- mini fridge
- nicer (bigger and taller) bathtub

The hotel room does NOT have a kitchenette. This means no second sink.

Thank you so much.

They need to know they forgot about something when they came up with the benefits here!

All you care to eat dole whip and shave ice for the duration of your stay. It’s the least they could do.

I couldn’t find any public info on it. I saw it from a person on FB. Let me grab a pic and if he is on this board hopefully he doesn’t mind.

We looked in August and they had none. Hopefully they last until next August when we are going again.

When is the best time to be able to book at 7 months?

I know it was a while ago, but for what it’s worth, we booked the first time at 7 months as we did not have Aulani points. It was a late May early June trip. Getting a 2BR was not possible so we had to get two 1BR for our trip with the kids and grandparents.

How many nights are recommended at Aulani for first timers? We will have 3-5 days of activities around the island. I want to have days to enjoy the island and days to enjoy the resort. ETA: party of 2 adults and 2 teenagers.

This is a difficult question to answer. Will you be staying at Aulani for the entire visit? Or are you staying at another hotel, perhaps in Waikiki, while doing your touring around the Island? Either way, I'd spend no less than a week in Hawaii.

Planning to stay at Aulani the whole time. Its a long expensive flight for us so I was thinking minimum of 9 nights but what is too many?

When we went it was 2 adults an 18 year old and a 10 year old. We did ten nights and then got a room for my parents for 7 nights. My personal thought was if we are flying that far (Texas) then we are staying at least seven days. I feel like we could’ve done two weeks and we alternated resort days and island exploration days.

I'd say 9 nights is perfect. We fly from the east coast when we go and think that 7 nights is a minimum with 10+ being preferred.

+1.

We do 8 nights just because the flights that we like leave Boston on Saturdays and come home on Sunday, but 9 or 10 would be even better.

Appreciate the comments. I’m also wondering what the booking window is for the casa bella type chairs on the terrace. I’d like to have them for our resort days.
