This was the first stop of our Hawaiian vacation. We selected the Aulani since we are traveling with our 6 y/o daughter. She loved the snorkeling and the meet n greets with the characters. I wish we would have stayed at the Four Seasons next door and just visited the Aulani on a day pass. The rooms here are just like the Grand Californian. My daughter felt like she never left Los Angeles. Upgrade to the rooms with the kitchenette and take a taxi to the grocery store. The food at the Aulani is terrible! And I m thankful that the pull out sofa bed was comfortable. Our king sized bed had a mountain in the middle of our bed. It recked my back the first night I slept on it. Also, my daughter was really bummed when we arrived and I got the Lei and all she got was a tiki necklace that in her words a boys necklace . I watched a few other young s girls arrive and receive the same necklace with the same disappointed face that they didn t get the beautiful flowered lei. I will come back to O ahu but will not stay at the Aulani.
