This review at 1 star is exclusively for the kids club / Auntie's House which is the main hook beyond Hawai to go for Aulani over lower priced 4* hotels on Oahu: a kids club, hurray! If you got sold by the website pictures and description of activities or the open house from 8 am to 9:30 am, well you just got conned like my wife & I. The reality of our 3 and 1/2 years old experience staying 4 hours was very different: they allowed all the kids to stay in front of the TV and game consoles, do not encourage or organize any activities unless the kid explicitly ask to do something else than TV / games. So if you need a break, want to grab cocktails alone or enjoy a spa treatment, use this kid club but frankly don't kid yourself about your kid social interactions or learning experiences since they won't have any. For the rest, Aulani gave us a warm welcome at the door, good beds with a quiet room, a nice beach and some cool water fun.
