This is a rentable venue for a wide variety of events: graduation parties, concerts, etc…read more Located across from HCC so parking is tight, maybe 30 cars or less are squeezed in here. I would say to use a ride share as the area is still not safe to be walking around at night. Most of the staff here were hired and did not automatically come with the booking of the venue. Security outside for lines, proof of vaccination or a negative test needed to get in, BUT there are two entrances and only one is being monitored (?) like that doesnt make sense. Venue is small and tough to fit large crowds, especially if theres sit down dining space, but lots of stand up tables available both inside and outside, projector used to display the stage. Bathrooms are GHETTO! No toilet seat covers, running out of toilet paper and paper towels, plus the floors are wet. No staff available to restock so thats an out-of-pocket expense. Bar is huge with lots of counter space so thats where your food shall go. No A/C just fans so night events really are weather-dependent. Upstairs and downstairs available to see the stage but the two flight of stairs - Really... Biggest flaw is the music set-up. Equipment malfunctions or staff miscommunications makes what should be hour set ups turn to three hours or more. Musicians or MCs are left stranded and waiting. Waste of time. Spent majority of the event mic checking or borrowing gear.

My family and I recently stayed at Aulani, and while the resort itself is beautiful and there were…read morecertainly parts of the trip we enjoyed, our overall experience was unfortunately overshadowed by serious cleanliness and pest concerns. During our stay, we discovered ants running across the kitchen area in our room. This was not just a few ants. It appeared to be a clear infestation. I have video showing the extent of the ant issue and what we experienced during our stay. We also spotted roaches on the property, which added to our concern and disappointment. Instead of spending our time relaxing, enjoying the resort, and making the most of what was supposed to be a special Disney vacation, we spent valuable vacation time dealing with pest problems, contacting the front desk, waiting for housekeeping, and following up in person to get the room issue addressed. We contacted the front desk right away. The initial call did not seem to be taken as seriously as we had hoped, and it was only after I went to the front desk in person that housekeeping was promptly sent to the room. To their credit, housekeeping did come, took photos, cleaned the area, and attempted to resolve the situation. However, by that point, the disruption had already taken away from our stay. What made the experience even more frustrating was the response afterward. Nothing was initially offered to address the time we lost, the food we had to throw away, or the overall inconvenience of dealing with ants in our room during a vacation we spent over $8,000 on. When we asked about compensation, we were told housekeeping did not have the authority to offer anything, which I understand. However, after speaking with a manager, we were told nothing further could be done beyond a $100 credit, which felt very disappointing given the circumstances. The most upsetting part was the suggestion that we may have brought the ants in ourselves or that we should have reported the issue at check-in. That response felt dismissive and shifted responsibility onto us instead of acknowledging the seriousness of the problem. As someone with over 20 years of experience in the pest control industry, I found that explanation very hard to accept. I hate to put this out there, but I feel obligated to share our experience. Many families save for a long time for a trip like this, and they deserve to know what they could potentially experience, especially when paying Disney resort prices and expecting a certain standard of cleanliness and service. Aulani is a beautiful property and has the potential to be an incredible vacation experience, but this stay did not meet the standard I expected from Disney. The pest issues themselves were bad enough, but the time wasted addressing them and the lack of a meaningful response made the experience much more disappointing. I truly hope management takes these types of cleanliness concerns more seriously in the future. Guests should not have to spend their vacation dealing with ants in their room, food loss, and repeated follow-up just to have an issue properly addressed.

Have always loved this hotel…read more There are a lot of renovations going on right now (May 2026) but I did understand it is to better the property for the future. Honestly, it didn't bother us... especially since the hours were between 9-4pm. There is a slightly heavy resort fee - so be sure to take advantage of all that is included: Pool, daily activities (yoga, crafts, ukulele lessons, beach chair rental, etc) Parking is ridiculously priced - we actually ended up not renting a car and used the public bus ... that worked GREAT! Saved over $500 (rental + parking + gas) for a 4 day trip by using the bus! The beach is across the street from the hotel ... and there are PLENTY of restaurants in the surrounding area. The hotel is and the end of the strip.... but it is still a great location. Our room was beautifully updated... good job Marriott! Would I stay there again? Yes! for sure

Ayce breakfast package. Breakfast is nothing great. Every single day it's just rice, sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, oatmeal, miso soup, bagel/ toast, yogurt and fruits and sometimes bacon (once a week). Fruits are always the same. Pineapple and melons. Got real sick of the same stuff everyday. But if you ordered food off the menu, it's pretty good. We did order breakfast once. We also did order room service and food came up pretty fast. Some issues we had: After checking in and unpacking we were leaving and checked our door to ensure it's locked and realized it doesn't lock. So we had maintenance come and fix the door. The next day it happened again not sure what happened but again it didn't lock. Maintenance came by and took a look and they fixed it while we were gone. A bit inconvenience. Mini fridge in the room is terrible. Very small and it doesn't stay cold for very long. There's a button that says you can turn it on cold for two hours and another button that says snooze for 24 hours. So your drinks barely get cold or your food like poke will most likely go bad. Pool and hot tub are always nice and clean. Has a little mini golf area. It is usually windy since it's on the 10th floor. The house keeper lady that cleaned our room on the 32nd floor was super nice. I used the laundry room once and it had 4 washers and 4 dryer. Nice and spacious enough. Definitely not busy at all.

We thought the food was good and enjoyed the added on breakfast buffet with our Costco travel package. Rooms are very dated and old though. We splurged on the ocean front view which was awesome but the rooms are small and haven't been updated in at least a decade and you can see the rust and peeling paint in the rooms. The carpet is more of a hard woven mat. We have stayed here 2 times before and I don't recall the hotel being so worndown. Our room was a good budget price but wish I would have booked a nicer hotel. The service was hit or miss. It took forever to check in late at night and we encountered some staff that need a little more training in hospitality. However we also had great experiences with other team members, especially the breakfast, Starbucks, and pool bar staff. Overall the stay was just ok, we got good bang for our buck, but will not return.

The beaches don't get that crowded, but they also have a great "kids" area with a pool and hot tub. They also have a separate adults only pool and hot tub. We ate in the on-site restaurant several times. Great food, but a little pricey. I recommend their NY stripe steak special, when available. There's a nice little Cafe with grab and go hot and cold foods. I would get breakfast there every morning. Two eggs with bacon for $5. Also nice coffee cart open daily until 11 AM. Coffee was good and they have several prep methods. Definitely do souvenir shopping in the exchange. 50-75% less than the rest of the island on the same products. Rooms are nice and clean and the staff are very attentive. Not at all what you would expect from a military resort. We also did the Friday night Prime Rib buffet. Food is definitely delicious and there's plenty of it. The dessert bar is ok, but could be better. Finally, the luau. Definitely worth the price for the activities and show. The food it ehh. It's good but the portions are small and the fish was really fishy for me. They only have one dessert and no substitution policy unless it's a food allergy. They handled my food allergy well, but no options for diabetics or gluten free, which surprised me. Still, this is definitely a five star experience!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator than Gentry. After speaking with several…read morecoordinators who didn't quite feel like the right fit, I knew immediately after our first conversation that she was the one. She's warm, energetic, and genuinely passionate about what she does--without ever feeling overwhelming or intrusive. Gentry stepped in about two months before our wedding and took so much off our plate. She was incredibly responsive, handled vendor communications seamlessly, and managed last-minute updates with ease. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely taken care of and confident that she would bring our vision to life. What really stood out was her attention to detail and proactive approach. She suggested things we hadn't even considered (like renting microphones), but was never pushy and always respected our decisions. Anytime I had a concern, she had either already handled it or immediately jumped into action--like when I worried about muddy transportation on our rainy wedding day, and she had already coordinated with the vendor. Despite the pouring rain, Gentry showed up with the most positive energy and made everything feel effortless. She truly made our dream wedding possible, and I can't imagine doing it without her. Highly, highly recommend!

She turns checklists into celebrations, decisions into delights, and somehow makes even the most overwhelming moments feel magical. Her attention to detail, calm under pressure, and boundless creativity blew us away. Her energy is infectious, and no task or request is ever too much. On the day of the wedding, she didn't let a single detail go unnoticed. We truly felt like we had a best friend looking out for us--not just on the big day, but in the days leading up to it as well. Gentry is simply amazing. She radiates positivity, lifts everyone around her, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. She leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes. I cannot imagine our wedding without her.
