Aloha, Aulani-curious!

I was there this June, doing research for my story on the resort for the current issue of Tiki Magazine (which was released last month, copies still available!).

In my opinion, Aulani is ver much worth seeing, even if you just go there for a walk-around. It has a very large collection of contemporary Hawaiian art, and the design of the place is truly beautiful and very respectful toward Hawaiian history and culture, as well as being educational.

There is no "traditional" water park there, but there are several different water/pool experiences, including a lazy river style pool to float down, so, in a way, it is like a very classy water park!

I tried a Mai Tai in one of their two restaurants, and thought it was quite delicious.

Feel free to p.m. me or chat back right here if you have more questions that I might be able to answer for you. I really enjoyed my visit here, and left feeling that I had truly learned some new things.
