Aulani is situated about 15 minutes from the Honolulu Airport and about 45 minutes from Waikiki (which has a good shopping area). Stayed in a very nice 1 bedroom suite. Came with kingsize bed, fold out sofa bed and a murphy bed in the tv cabinet. The Aulani has a great water park on-site with lazy river, 2 water slides, a kid's playground, very large pools and jacuzzis. What was nice that there is an adult-only pool and jacuzzi which is enforced to maintain a quieter atmosphere to enjoy (as opposed to be usually kid-filled park). There is a large private beach / lagoon which is protected from large waves by some large reef making the lagoon area quite placid and safe from heavy waves. There are snorkling and paddleboard rentals also available on-site for use on at the lagoon.
