A Very Magical Spring Break in Paradise

Was blessed to stay in a very comfortable one bedroom ocean view DVC studio villa for spring break during the first week of March 2025. The highlight was definitely a visit to their Laniwai Spa for a pedicure and massage. The incredible cast members at this resort are so happy, helpful.

Was blessed to stay in a very comfortable one bedroom ocean view DVC studio villa for spring break during the first week of March 2025. The highlight was definitely a visit to their Laniwai Spa for a pedicure and massage. The incredible cast members at this resort are so happy, helpful. This was my third stay here, and it's better than ever before with more to see and do. Loved their snorkeling, lazy river, Menehune statues, 'Ōlelo Room bar, shaved ice with condensed milk, vanilla soft serve ice cream, and corn dog nuggets.
The Hawaiian edutainment is everywhere on this property, and the resort has a very relaxing, calming feeling. Loved reading from the balcony while overlooking the beach or luau below me. Room and bathroom were well appointed. The bed was super comfortable with wonderful pillows. Hallways were always clean and quiet.
Do recommend the Hele Hele shuttle for transportation to & from airport. If you have a Disney Visa, you get a 10% discount in their gift shop. Lots of great shops, restaurants, and little grocery store to walk to right across street.

Breath taking and in a quiet area

I’m in love with this place as is my son. It’s in a quiet resort area away from all the chaos. The hotel is gorgeous. There are places to get food fast if you don’t want to spend the high prices of the restaurants. They have 2 gift shops. Parking cost $40 which I wasn’t expecting.

I’m in love with this place as is my son. It’s in a quiet resort area away from all the chaos. The hotel is gorgeous. There are places to get food fast if you don’t want to spend the high prices of the restaurants. They have 2 gift shops. Parking cost $40 which I wasn’t expecting. I wish the hotel was more affordable as we only stayed for part of the week due to costs. The second hotel was a disappointment so much so that I wanted to go back to Aulani to get away from it. You can get a portrait session due with reservations. Otherwise, they have photo pass photographers around. They have a lot of pool options including a lazy river. The luau there is awesome. The rooms were nice.
I’d say the only negative is the security of the building. Anyone can just walk in and go right to the areas where rooms are. They just can’t get into the rooms which is good.

Done so well a great cast, good food and excellent setting. So much done perfectly for a family! A little pricey but if you want a perfect vacation in a beautiful and special location then give Disney a look. Also close enough to Honalulu and the Dole plantation to go shopping.

Everything I wished for

Aulani was everything I wished for. First of all it’s an amazing build and themed hotel by Joe Rhode and other people. I arrived early and my ocean view room was ready. The view from my balcony ( hotel room, not dvc) couldn’t be better. Beds are high from the floor, but super comfy! Very clean and well maintained. All the cast members where so…

Aulani was everything I wished for. First of all it’s an amazing build and themed hotel by Joe Rhode and other people. I arrived early and my ocean view room was ready. The view from my balcony ( hotel room, not dvc) couldn’t be better. Beds are high from the floor, but super comfy! Very clean and well maintained. All the cast members where so friendly and welcoming, especially the girls at Hale Manu. I was there during the end of january storm day and felt super safe with al the attentive help from cm’s ( towels to stay as dry as possible from the nook bar to inside hotel). Character interaction was very good! Food at Ama Ama, The Nook, Ulu cafe, Makahiki all up to Disney standards. Chairs near swimming pool was difficult to get one in the shade, the wristband system works. One of the best Disney hotels I’ve ever been to

A Magical Time In Hawaii
Feb 18, 2025Joel SBend, Oregon
We had an incredible time at this wonderful hotel. We had visited previously during Fall break and it was very crowded. This time we made sure to visit earlier and it made all the difference. The staff was very friendly and the food was great (although expensive). The kids loved the private beach and the lazy river.
