Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

[wdrl]

Checked in yesterday! Already in love!

Thanks to you guys, we requested our ocean view room overlooking the Waikohe Valley...here's the view from (regular hotel) room 840:

We don't have many photos from the Aulani hotel rooms, so I really appreciate your contribution, phyllis1966!

These are a couple of the view photos currently in Room 312.

Thanks, carissa1970!

Its interesting to look at carissa1970's photos and compare them with those by spleen more than two years ago in April 2012 (see post #14). Their photos show how the landscaping is beginning to mature around the resort.

Thanks, Jaaron2, I've added your villa to the list. It was a dedicated two-bedroom, right?

if you have done an on-line reservation do you
call member services to request the tower and floor you would prefer
or do you call the resort directly
Thanks in advance

I called member services and got exactly what we requested. We requested the EWA building with a room ending in **50
And we got 950.

Beautiful!

Hope you had a GREAT vaca!

I also called MS, rather than calling Aulani directly!

We were also VERY PLEASED with 1077,1079, 2BR LO Long Wing Ewa!

Thanks I will call ms. today appreciate the help.

I am booking a pool view 1br later this week. I am hoping for a sneak ocean view. Looking at the pics, I see 576, 570, 552, 506 would offer this and maybe the 4xx would too. Are there any ones I'm missing? Any that is better than others? Thanks!

Just left of the 4th. it was AMAZING.

We are on the Big Island now and this morning as we were heading to a black sand beach, my four year old son said "I like the other Hawaii better", meaning Aulani. Out of the mouths of babes... Though I agree!

What did your 4 year old like best? My son will be 4 when we go next summer.

When my son was 4, he loved the Menehune Bridge area the most. He also enjoyed a few things at Auntie's Beach House (Stitch's Space Goo, volcanoes, and canoe racing...as well as the Beach Party with Chip N Dale). He liked the raft water slide and lazy river.

When my son was 5, he liked both water slides the best (especially the dark one). He still enjoyed the bridge area, but wasn't as interested in Auntie's. That might have been because he had his cousins to keep him busy, though.

Enjoy!

We absolutely LOVED this room! I really can't imagine a better one. The location and views were just fabulous. Even better, I had only booked a pool view and got a surprise upgrade to the ocean view! So here are some pictures.....

Looking to the left....

What I spent a lot of time doing every morning and evening!

Looking to the right....

Looking straight ahead.....

Panoramic shot..

Looking straight down....

It was really nice in the evenings, because we could hear the musicians down in the Olelo room, without it being too loud. We could definitely hear the various water features. It made me wonder if being a few floors lower would make the water too loud.

I would choose this room again in a second! It was just around the corner and a couple doors from the elevators too. The only bummer is that is on the opposite side of the resort from the parking garage. We had some long hauls with water, beer and goodies!

My son is rather timid and an only child so we did not go to Auntie's and he didn't do the slides. He loved the zero entry pool, the beach, the menehune bridge, the keiki splash area, starlit hui, and the storytelling by the fire. SO much fun!!!

Thanks for your photos, lablady. I've added your villa to the list.

You got a great upgrade! Did you book your Pool View villa using DVC points or were you paying cash?

The Aulani villas have very good sound proofing. We were in Villa #304, a Pool View studio very near the Menehune Bridge Water Play area. The sounds from the splashing water and the laughing and squealing kids could be like a loud "white noise" when we were sitting on our balcony. But if we went into our villa and closed the balcony door we could barely hear anything from the outside.

 

[jerseygal]

Yes, we also noticed that the soundproofing was EXCELLENT on our 2 Br lockoff! I am a light sleeper, so that is ALWAYS a concern when I travel.

Very HAPPY with not being able to hear ANYTHING!

We booked it as a cash reservation. I've been told that upgrades are unusual when using DVC points. We loved the room!

 

[jerseygal]

Lovely view! Hope that you enjoyed your vaca!

Guess that with cash reservations, Aulani wants to either provide incentives to earn a repeat stay or entice you with a purchase to DVC!
