Tiger is found in the chilly of Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii. You are wearing lei and Aloha shirt while entering the resort to stay checked-in. My little Sister is wearing a Moana costume, the best-selling product in the Disney Store in Ala Moana Center. I missed Ava and Alex in the DisneyCarToys channel in YouTube, Ava wore a moana costume a Trolls pajamas and a shirt, while Alex wore shorts, Aloha shirt, and Lei that is made of frangipani /plumeria. We missed them, from the airport we buy Moana and Maui Products at Disney's online store.

You can enjoy it even if you can not use special English. If I can talk so much I will have more fun time. I felt that there are a lot of people who want to enjoy the slow time and those who want to take a long stay. A lot of people were really spent even on the first few days of the New Year. It is a good view. Sometimes when I'm in the pool, characters such as Mickey will walk and let's take pictures together! In the atmosphere of. There is a photographer together there, but it is completely different from Japan. It will take a photo like a mountain, even with the camera you handed over! ! (Laughs) I had a really good time. It's a bit lonely that I only miss my sunglasses and will not come out.
Because there is ABC mart near, it is convenient for those who think about the meal with a certain cost. There is no other supermarket, so it will be developed from now on.

We stayed 2 days one night. The place was under renovation but still I was blown away. Only thing is...we spent more on food than we did on the room itself! If you go, leave the hotel for meals

I didn't want to leave. Good thing the beach is free access for when I visit again. Kids loved the water park, the computerized guide to see Disney Magic, the evening culture shows, and of course the beach. A short walk across the street is a great plaza with shops and dining. A short walk down the street (or beach when the construction is done) is a public access to a small cove where seals and turtles swim to the beach. Don't touch them, it's the law! In the other direction along the beach is a beautiful wedding chapel (yes it's a great place to make vows, too) with a lush green lawn and garden that is perfect to take your food and picnic.

The last place I was at was in Oahu north shore condo that looked nice in the pics but the a/c was broke and it had a musty smell so I just packed up and left lost 3 days of money on it i dont care im just so glad i found this hotel.and came here. My kids are grown and dont live with me anymore. And my wife was worried that there was going to be kids screaming and running around. Not at all. There are so many activities for them. It's like cool seeing everybody all happy. Just a great vacation vibe and they have adult pools also. You just know your in a cool vacation spot. The last condo I was at was like crabby old people the manager was telling me how to park my car and this and that how to empty trash and just very unwelcoming. This hotel is so well built i didnt hear one single noise. I wish i would have brought my daughter here when she was young i feel guilty.Wow they saved my vacation so professional and nice and the room is gorgeous.Front desk room service the vallet the everybody that works here was super cool and super nice I really felt pampered here. Spa jet bathtubs it not always about what the room looks like it's about customer service and this place has great Customer service. I got a late flight they even told me after I check out of my room I can still hang out here and enjoy the facilities instead of waiting around at the airport how cool is that? All you can eat crab and prime rib buffets. Their own lagoon and cool pools. I've been around this whole island and ended up here. It is worth every penny. I LOVE THIS PLACE I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME. But I miss my cat's and have to go back to work lol. My advice to everyone is don't be cheap and try to get a deal on something like my wife did you just never know what your getting. go with a place like Disney that will give you lasting wonderful memories. Don't matter if you have kids or not. There is a four seasons opening up next door no thanks! they don't have their own private lagoon all set up with umbrellas and chairs. I'll stick with Disney!!! Who doesn't love Disney! M. I. C. See you real soon! K. E. Y. Why because we love you! M. O. U. S. E.

There might be a handful of rooms without a good view of the Pacific Ocean. The staff is super friendly, and generally very helpful. One of the hotel restaurants (a cafe, really) had a great lunch plate, so we thought we'd try getting dessert there. The desserts (a pecan tart and a Macadamia nut brownie) were lackluster. Another restaurant has great sunset views and great food, but some of their dessert portions are rather small. You will also pay resort prices at that restaurant.

The lagoon out the back is too cloudy to see anything snorkeling, but is nice and calm for young kids. There's still the occasional wave, as it is directly connected to the Pacific. There is a fabulous pair of 18 and up hot tubs with a great view of the lagoon and ocean. The biggest complaint we had was that the pools all close by 8pm. We are told this changes to 10pm when tourist season is in full swing. The posted picture is from one of the aforementioned hot tubs. There are many more pools and another hot tub, as well as a lazy river. There is a tube slide (as in, you ride an inflated tube) into the lazy river and a tunnel slide into one of the pools, both of which were fun.

The suites where you have a kitchen are a Must for families. We went grocery shopping at the Safeway and saved ourselves hundreds of dollars. We only ate out a few times and used the extra budget money to do more fun activities. There is a target, costco, kmart, and every other place you might need within a ten minute drive/uber from the hotel.

Aulani is to date the most beautiful resort I have ever seen. From the training of the staff, to the food as well as the entertainment, the Disney attention to detail is apparent. Of course it's also as family friendly as it gets. As a Disney Vacation Club member you can be sure that I will be back as often as possible.

Very beautiful resort. Great for family and kids who want to enjoy a relaxing pool party with dinner and drinks. Resort also has is very own private beach for enjoyment. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Hawaii

I believe that after spending close to $600 for a room, the entire family of 4 should have beds to sleep. For this price one should not have to make your own bed (pull out sleeper). Room was not cleaned appropriately (previous guest's belongings found on carpet and in the cabinets).
The pool was constantly overcrowded. Difficult to get a lounge chair. Guests fighting for space. Pool attendants clear lounge chairs after one hour and remove belongings.
One hour wait for the restaurant, one hour wait to sign up kids for activities, one hour wait for room after check in.
Felt like work, not a vacation.
The facilities are nice. The staff is friendly and tries hard to cope with the masses.
For $600 you can do a lot better at many other hotels on Oahu.

We went to the gift shop at Aulani to look for Moana items for our granddaughter. The resort itself is beautiful and we found what we needed at the gift shop. All the employees were very friendly. We had an enjoyable experience at the Resort.

Great place for families. Lots of activities and food options for kids, including healthy ones. You had to nab your spots at the pool or the beach early in the day, but we were able to participate in anything we wanted. Would definitely go back for the kids. For adults? You'll definitely want a more grown up hotel.

Great place for families to stay. Many activities for the kids (such as pools and water tubing). Character dining was a big hit, but the characters can vary, so check beforehand if there's someone you really want to see. Overall, not bad. It's a bit more costly but you're paying for the plethora of amenities.

Great

Spectacular. Pricey, but the setup is totally worth it if you have kids, especially little ones. The entire hotel is built around a heated waterpark with multiple pools and a lazy river, as well as multiple places to eat.

This is why we stay at Disney resorts. They take care of everything, if you have any issues they fix them right away. Everyone here was friendly and always willing to help. Rooms were clean and nice, views were great. The pools and beach area was fun for the whole family.

As a videographer o would like this hotel to be more accommodating to our profession. Parking is crazy expensive for how long we're staying. I captured 2 hours of getting ready and was forced to pay $32!!! For self parking compared to $34 for valet parking, holy guacamole!! The lights used within the rooms and hallways are gross and orange, making it difficult to shoot in. If they could validate or bring the prices down, that would be amazing. In fact most of our guys end up parking at the beach and walking to avoid the crazy parking fees. I always dread working at this venue, even though I love the koolina side.

The world view of Disney was a very nice hotel! The cast members were also kind and smiling, and we were able to spend an elegant time.

The design of the building, rooms, pool area, etc. was all in the Disney world, and I felt like sighing just by walking inside the hotel.
The ocean view was also great.

There were several kinds of pools alone, and there were places like a small fountain where our 3-year-old daughter could play, a shallow pool and a jacuzzi, and I could enjoy all day long.

Towels can be borrowed immediately.

I want to go play again!

Aulani is great! We had a 2 bedroom suite that had 2 1/2 bathrooms, a king bed, 2 doubles and the couch and chair were both pull out beds. There was a stove, oven, dishwasher and even a washer and dryer. They say "all of the comforts of home" but that's way more comfortable than home.

There are plenty of free activities for the kids so you can just drop them off to be watched of you need a little adult time. The pool areas are the best on Oahu. The inner tube slide is so much fun! And if you get tired of that, the beach is right on the other side of the gate.

There are also several restaurants to choose from; fun stuff in the gift shop. Definitely an all around great experience!

The character breakfast was fabulous. The buffet was excellent, food stayed hot and the variety to choose from was out of site including the omelets made to order. All the Disney characters were nice. All of them came by our table to take pictures. Wonderful experience.

Parking was 22 without validation. validate at two full dining rooms. If you love Disney worth visiting even if just for the day.
If you want to do character buffet, call a couple days in advance

Beautiful outdoor area with great services. They use ko-olinas lagoon 1. I have gone 3 times and the water has been too "milky" to snorkel. There isn't fish to look for in this lagoon but the waves are fine. Nothing too strong. Great place to relax.

Amazing place! Just had the Luau here and the food is great! We loved the whole show especially when they included the kids to perform. Will definitely book a stay here next time we go back.

The hotel is beautiful and pools were pretty awesome. However for its price we expected more. If you plan to eat at their restaurants for a family of 4(2 kids) you'll end up spending 500 on food a day. Disney i think you can do better.

My son, his girlfriend and I stayed at Aulani the last weekend in Jan. 2020. It was my first trip to Hawaii. Unfortunately, I was on crutches and needed a lot of assistance. The resort was up to ADA standards BUT what made the trip spectacular with no stress was the staff! We made use of the spa, pools, and restaurants. Every one offered to help with great patience. There are beach wheelchairs too. I borrowed a resort wheelchair most of the time and it was fine. I do not recommend Hawaii on crutches but if you have no other choice- then the Aulani staff is the best!

Hotel was just beautiful, however after visiting 6 times over the years I find out now that my family has grown they charge for my 19 and 22 year old, this is the dumbest thing I have herd as the adult kids don't even want to be there as they don't use any of the facilities they are out golfing, shopping, exploring and hiking. The are not even occupying space on the facility only in the room. The room is still a perfect size for our family, with this discrimination I feel it would be better to take your family else ware unless you have little ones. I use to tell people this Hotel was great for all ages, well I lied, Sorry!

Beautiful luxury hotel brings Disney service to Hawaii. For guests familiar with WDW, this feels like a cross between the Wilderness Lodge and the Polynesian with the surreal realization that you leave the hotel but are still in Hawaii!
