On the far right, about half way down the page is where three of the new cabanas are located:

Those are great photos G'sMaman! Do you remember which villa you were in?

By the way, if you had been in your Grand Villa in September 2012 or earlier, this is the view you would have had from your Grand Villa:

Thanks to you wdrl for all your hard work on maintaining this thread! I know we were on the 8th floor, but I can't remember the exact room number. WOW! What a difference a year makes!

Here's a video for those who want to get a better feel for the layout of the new pool area (apologies in advance, but I took this on my iPhone so it looks a little distorted here). Click on the photo to start the video:


Here's a video of the Wailana (adult) Pool area. The video starts from where the cabanas are located (although you can't see the actual cabanas) and ends at the bar area:

Since there is only one Grand Villa on the 8th floor of the Waianae Building, then you must have been in Villa #801. I've added your villa to the list in Post #1.

Thanks for sharing the videos. They make me really homesick for Aulani!

I have finally learned to take a photo of our villa door, usually with my DS in it. We can never remember the room numbers, but now I can look back and request the exact room when we go again in June! Yay!

Your pics are BEAUTIFUL! WOW! Thanks!

Thank you for posting! I can "dream" today with this awful cold snap and storm in the east!

Hope you had an awesome trip; beautiful view! Were you pleased ???

I know it is simply a request and no guarantees, but has anyone requested actual room numbers instead of high floor ending in...

Thank you so much jerseygal! The pictures where taken with my iPhone so imagine what they would have turned out like if I had taken them with a real camera. I actually didn't think the pictures did the view justice. It really is such a beautiful place. The trip was awesome. One of the best family vacations ever! We had my parents and my brother's family with us and it couldn't have worked out any better. There's something to do for everyone. Luckily, we have been to Honolulu before so we didn't feel the need to do too many touristy attractions. In fact, all my planning went out the window. Once we got settled in, it was so hard to leave the resort. We got a cabana for the week and put it to good use!

Can someone post a picture of the daily activities sheet that they give you when you are there, it doesn't have to be current? I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

The daily offerings change each day. I created a thread awhile back and uploaded all my daily iwa's (what you get each night for the next days activities).

I thought I read somewhere that the hotel rooms were located in a certain wing (the one marked 30-47). Is this true? I can't find specific info on hotel rooms locations.

Thanks!

Aulani's hotel rooms are located on two wings: One has rooms ending xx30-xx47, and the other has room numbers ending xx20-xx29. The hotel wings are located between the lobby area and the DVC's Waianae wing. The hotel wing with room numbers xx30-xx47 face the ocean and Waikolohe Valley's main pool/lazy river or face the parking garage/island. The hotel wing with room numbers xx20-xx29 face the ocean and the Wailana Adult pool or face the parking garage/island.

Think of Aulani as having the general shape of a giant U. The ocean is at the top of the U and the lobby is at its base. The hotel wings are located in the lower right hand side of the resort.

Yes, the hotel has rooms that face the Waikolohe Valley, plus island view for rooms facing the front of the resort, in the Section labeled 30-47 and standard view rooms in section labeled 20-29. The last section might have rooms with a partial ocean view for those that face the Wailana Pool (adults only). Or even ocean for those rooms that are high floors.

Thanks! We booked Pool view so we would be in the 30-47 section?

Probably so, but perhaps not. All of the DVC villas that are classified as "Pool View" are facing the Waikolohe Valley, so I assume that there are Pool View hotel rooms in the xx30-xx47 wing that will also be considered Pool View hotel rooms.

But there are hotel rooms in the xx20-xx29 hotel wing that should have good views of the Wailana adult pool. Its possible Aulani has classified some of these hotel rooms as "Pool View." But, I don't know much of anything about the hotel rooms at Aulani, so don't rely on my comments!

Here is a photo taken from the far end of the Wailana Pool looking back at the xx20-xx29 hotel wing. The DVC Waianae Building is on the right side of the photo.

Please be so kind to post photos of your view. I'd love to see what you end up with. Good luck!

Those are some great photos of Aulani! Thanks so much for posting! Its 35 weeks before we check into Aulani and I'm definitely homesick!

I've added your villa to the list in Post #1.
