There are a few of us out that are not Aulani fans
I think the problem was we stayed at the HAlekulani for 6 nights THEN transferred to Aulani and it just paled for us in comparison. Halekulani is AMAZING. If you ever get the chance to try it, do so!
We fell in love with that place and returned for 2 weeks the following summer! After leaving Aulani early we returned there to finish our vacation. A HUGE part of it - just so QUIET. You would think crazy busy but they have casual gaurds outside to prevent the foot traffic and you honestly think you are the only guest there. I never shared an elevator with anyone the whole time we were there. There might have been 5 people in the courtyard. It is hard to fathrom but the place is sold out and no one is lingering there or walking the grounds. It is like you are it.
