For half the price of Aulani you get more bedrooms, bathrooms and more total sq ft. You can spend the savings on better food and activities (surfing lessons!). It was nice to have the boogie boards, a cooler, beach towels, sand toys. I always feel so wasteful buying things just to use for a few days vacation. The pool area was clean and modern. The unit’s appliances were great. This perfectly met our needs. Thanks!
