Disney Aulani opened in September 2011 in Ko Olina, Hawaii. From what we’ve seen, it looks like a lovely place. With that said, Aulani’s lowest category room is their Standard View Room. Here’s how Disney describes their Standard View Room: “Standard View rooms offer a view of the conference center, parking lot or parking garage from the room or balcony.” Over $400 dollars per night for a view of the parking lot?
The closest comparison to our villas is Aulani’s 2 bedroom partial ocean view villa at a minimum published rate of $2,750 per night. Compare that to our luxury 180 degree panoramic ocean view, two bedroom, two bath, 15th floor Ko Olina Beach Villas Penthouse with a gourmet kitchen and you’ll see that there really is no comparison.
