Deluxe Ocean View Studio Request (non DVC)

[mnasf]

My son is going on his honeymoon to the Aulani next month. They are in a deluxe ocean view studio (non DVC reservation). Does anyone have a recommendation on a room request for them? I've only been once and it was a 1 bedroom DVC room. And I can't really remember much about it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there anything we want to avoid?

Nothing to avoid comes to mind. IMO, a high floor is always better. There's not much difference between the two towers, but Waianae is smaller and seems quieter. Waianae tower is closer to the adult pool, Ulu Café, spa, and parking garage. Ewa tower is larger and closer to the store, Makahiki, Olelo Room, Off the Hook, Aunty's, the lawn for the luau, and Ama Ama. But the two towers are connected through the lobby on floor three, and the resort isn't large enough where anything is a far walk.

I'll second @nkereina comments above. Especially the high floor recommendation.

We also prefer to look out over the pool area instead of over the luau field. The morning music is a big part of the experience for me, and it's not heard as well on the other side. Overlooking the lawn means you'll potentially hear the luau and movie nights from your room, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on who you are. We found the pool side quieter at night since the pools typically shut down before sunset.

That is so helpful. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much. maybe I'll make upper floor the priority!

That's some great points! They might prefer to avoid the luau field. Thanks!
