Exactly the way you just stated it. That tells the room assigner what is important to you and gives them the flexibility to do it.

Thank you. I thought it would be more complicated than that. LOL

Should I call the resort to request or would DVC be ok?

DVC. Calling the resort at this point is too far out. Once its on your DVC reservation you are all set.

Visiting for the first time in August and staying in a one-bedroom villa with an island-gardens view. From the pictures I've seen and room charts I've viewed, it seems like the Ewa building rooms (long wing, facing away from the pool) are very desirable. Between those rooms ending in xx71, xx77 and xx83 (targeting a higher floor), does anyone have preference of one group compared to the others (whether it be based on proximity to elevator, view as a whole, noise level, etc.)?

We stayed in 1477 last month and thought it was perfect. xx71 would've been too close to the elevators IMO, and xx83 wouldn't have yielded us a room as high as 1477 since 1083-1483 are Ocean View so 983 would be the highest Island Gardens View you could get.

Here is the 'partial ocean view' we enjoyed from our balcony.



And here is the view of the Halawai Lawn set-up for the luau that evening.

Thank you! That is super helpful and actually was where we were leaning - love that view!

We are going with a large family group and have several 2BR and studio Island Garden view rooms booked and one standard hotel room. If we want to be somewhat close to the hotel room, what wing would we need to request the Island Garden view rooms to be in?

There resort has these types of rooms spread throughout the buildings. Your best approach is to have all of these rooms linked together and to simply request that they be near each other.

Are the hotel rooms all throughout the resort?

The hotel rooms are in the Waianae Tower (the short wing closest to the lobby to the right as you want into the hotel - the villas are in the longer wing of the Waianae Tower and in the Ewa Tower). There are no hotel rooms in the Ewa Tower.

Hi All!

We returned about a week ago from a fab Aulani trip, so thought I'd share some room/view pix. We stayed in a standard-view one-bedroom. I had requested room ending in 69, highest floor possible. We were placed in 763, and it was terrific. We had a great mountain view and were high enough that it wasn't obstructed by the conference center.


View towards the mountains



View towards Honolulu



Our lanai was huge!



We looked down on the conference center lawn, where there was a party one night (see tables in pic)--closing the slider during the party almost completely blocked out all noise. There is a water feature/tinkling fountain at ground level below the room (see pic), and the sound of it was very relaxing throughout the trip.

Any suggestion on how to insert pics from Flickr?

Go to the picture on Flickr and click on the share photo icon (a right pointing arrow on the lower left side). From there select BBCode and copy the code it produces. Then come back here to the DIS and paste that code into a post.

I think I would enjoy this view, wouldn't have to pay to go to the luau!

 

[brnrss34]

How do you put in room requests? Also what does hotel rooms look at?

Checked into 1551 last night, 2-bedroom dedicated island gardens view. Don’t mind it at all has a huge balcony and view back towards the island and golf course. Also can see Diamond Head in the distance. Convention centre is below us.
