Aulani is past Kapolei and near pristine beaches. The cons are that it's near residential areas thereby commercializing an already touristy island. The plus is Aulani went the furthest in capturing Hawaiian culture. It's spacious and filled with swimming accommodations for all ages. When I say spacious we have muscle tenderness from the activities. The 2 bedroom villa was perfect and worked out when you want to get your own food and not pay or eat "park" food.
