When I hit a snag on our trip, Saya from the sales department stepped in and solved the issue without any hesitation. She listened with compassion and worked quickly and competently to resolve the problem. The beach is gorgeous and the snorkeling is good around the rocks. Longboards has good food and drinks, but you can also easily walk to dinner over by Monkeypod and 808. We walked through Aulani and realized we weren't missing out on anything. The resort there is also beautiful and the same high quality. Overall, great vacation and we will be back!

When we stayed in Maui a couple years ago, we got sold on their vacation club presentation and…read moreended up purchasing a 6-day/5night package to stay at this resort in a studio room. We arrived early but we weren't able to check-in until 4pm. No biggie though because we dropped our bags off and did our grocery shopping while we waited for our room to be ready. From a hotel customer service standpoint, it was pretty good compared to Maui vacation club resorts. The pools and especially the waterslide are the highlights when it comes to amenities. The waterslide is way too much fun! Another amazing part is the lagoons that are steps away from the hotel. No waves, warm water, and super clean. Being so close to a nice beach is such a luxury! They have some cool activities during the day to win prizes, which was a cool way to break up the day. Outside of that, the hotel was just ok. We found the restaurants to be fine but not great. Mid food, hotel prices. That didn't stop us from dining there multiple times because the options in this area aren't abundant. While the hotel has a gym, there's no tennis courts or even a shuttle to take you to the nearby shopping center. If you are staying here, definitely rent a car. $45 for self parking per night though. I've been to this resort a couple of times, and the contrast from staying in a studio versus the 1 or 2-bedroom suites is night and day. The studio rooms are a bit dated and honestly just feels like a standard hotel room. The studio room has a small kitchen area but no stove and really small fridge. The bigger suites are definitely the way to go.

Our stay was at the beginning of May when the main pool was closed so the infinity pool was always packed with kids. There was an adult only pool that was always quiet and relaxing. We mainly stayed there for the most part. Food around the resort was good, but expensive. We did the luau, which was fun but very expensive and I would never pay that much again. We did it because it was on property and convenient. I think I booked it the first day I could 90 days out or something. It's open bar and prime rib, and some Hawaiian food. The lazy river is fun, and snorkeling in the reef was a blast. It was not cold at all.. took the free ukulele lessons, which was about a half an hour just to get the hang of it. Get the refillable cup it's worth the money. Also, buy a popcorn bucket and get three dollar refills. Try the breakfast flatbread ($20) at Ulu cafe-so yummy, and they have a daily special that we tried for dinner and it was so good! Ordered the lobster roll at the pool from Off The Hook, so worth it!! Also, don't forget the shaved ice! Reserve a cabana, very relaxing and fun. Casabella's by beach are directly in sun most of the day, so beware.

I have tried to go to Aulani three times. There's virtually no public parking. They will deny this…read morebut they have a lot that holds about 20 cars for the public coming from other areas to use the Beach. I don't believe they would give a public parking lot at all, but the state of Hawaii made them. The whole vibe of the place is to squeeze you for every dime. The actual water in the ocean in front of the hotel is cloudy murky and filthy with debris. I'm staying in Waikiki right across from the beach. The water is transparent. I've tried to go there three times didn't want to go the last time, but my niece and my adult children wanted to go. I had to pay $40 for parking because they're tiny public. Lots were all full. The whole place stinks of entitlement. I told my wife this is the last time I'm coming here.

We had not been to Ko Olina vacation club in Hawaii for about 15 years and the property self is…read morestill beautiful however, starting to show its age the people are wonderful and we truly enjoy Hawaii. However, the resort pricing overall food value was disappointing. At check-in guest are giving a discount card for 10% of Off at the Market and certain resort locations, which is appreciated. However, if you forget the card in your room while heading to the pool or Beach, you were simply out of luck since purchases can be charged directly to the room, it seems like the discount should automatically apply to the guest account instead of requiring a physical card. The 10% discount definitely helps because Hawaii is already expensive but the price is at the market and eateries felt excessive. For example we had 6 drinks and two orders of fish and chips at Long boards and the bill was $171. Unfortunately food felt like it mediocre pub food, which made the cost even harder to justify. Overall, we love the beauty of Ko Olina and the warmth of the people, but the resort pricing felt comparable to Disney without the food quality or value to match.

This was our first time in Hawaii, so we figured if our hotel wasn't the best it would be ok, since we were not planning on spending much time in the hotel. It was such an amazing place and we got a great deal on it which made it even more amazing. As soon as you walk in, the front desk welcomed you, and you can tell they upkeep this hotel very well and take pride in their property. They do offer parking on the premises, however they do charge $40.00 a day, which i thought was pretty pricey but didn't have a choice we had rented a car. The girl at the front desk told us the area was safe and there is usually parking outside the hotel for free, we didnt pay for parking our whole stay! Our room was super clean , updated and super spacious! We got a call daily asking if we needed anything, you can get beach towels daily without issues as many as you like. The cook-to-order breakfast was simply AMAZING!! The food was great and the cooks are super nice and welcoming. The pool is a little on the smaller side but we didnt have the need to use it but its really nice. over all i would 100 percent stay here again. It was a wonderful experience and wonderful value!

Okay, so you're asking why would you go to a water park or lagoon when there's so many awesome…read morebeaches in Hawaii and Oahu. Well the simple answer is because we're all looking for something new and different to do once in a while with family and friends. And that exactly why we ended up at Wai Kai. It was a chance to hang out with our kids and friends before they returned to school after the winter break. The obstacle course was a ton of fun, we took advantage of the other water activities too, and we also opted to get a couple cabanas too so we could all hang out. It was perfect for our group of 20. Some of the restaurants were closed the day we went, but the takeout food at The Lookout was delicious. We also enjoyed some cold beverages too. BTW, the Nalo Lounge is a great option for $25/person if you want to store your belonging and take a shower before heading to your ext destination. For local families, take advantage of the kamaaina rates. The family is already excited about going back when the kids are back home this summer.

Surely the lazy river or the one of many pools is clearly the draw though I find this bridge really cute for the adventurous ones as being up high you get the birds eye view of this vast landscape and is a place where the little ones can explore at their leisure if swimming isn't their thing the pool portion is pretty shallow to dip your feet keeping it cool and still make a splash. I think it's a great introduction or starter place with for the little ones with the slides but here at Aulani does give many options to satisfy and cool off without worry as you can watch your kids with chairs just steps away the Menehune Bridge, which is like a fun little playground and a place to keep cool and have fun!

I recommend booking in advance as the 10am session was already full some of the days of our visit. Activities for the complimentary care include Disney movies, video games, and daily rotating crafts. Magic bands are required for kids attending Aunty's. There are a few options to rent or you can buy one (or I think bring one if you have them already). There are also paid 3-hour experiences for kids to enjoy. My son did the Surfin Party with Goofy and Max and the Galactic Games with Stitch. He liked both, but is still talking about the Galactic Games days later. This is a great perk of staying at Aulani and we'll definitely be sending our son to Aunty's next time we are at Aulani!

The master suite was super luxe with en suite bathroom (soaker tub was used almost every night). Check in was a breeze with the super wonderful Angel and her partner. They checked up on us ever so often. Very nice people (understatement). Checkout services checked my flight info and accommodated us in very courteous way. I really can't say enough about our stay here. I should have stayed another week. Will definitely recommend and use them again. Thank you to the LHV staff, esp Angel and Suzanne!!!!! Mahalo

I personally enjoy the exclusivity of renting a villa over a room in a traditional hotel.

I enjoy the space the villas offer and the staff that facilitate and manage these rentals are both professional and warm/welcoming.
