The photo is from villa #1612, which is on the top floor of the Waianae Building.These pictures are wonderful! What building is this? And did you get to see the sunrise from this location? which building would you recommend? I am trying to figure out what specific requests we should place..definitely high floor
The Waianae Building gets the morning sun and afternoon shade. The ocean view villas in the Ewa Wing, Phases 1 and 3, get the morning shade and afternoon sun.
None of the ocean view villas will give you a good sunrise view. The very top floors in the Waianae Building have the best chance to see the early morning sun (you can also see Diamond Head in the far distance).
The villas on the Ewa side facing the main pool (aka Waikolohe Valley) have the best views of sunset. These villas are even numbered villas ranging from **70 to **86.
Personally, I think Aulani is fairly compact and well laid out, so its easy to get from one part of the resort to another. The parking garage is nearer the Waianae side, so you would save a few steps if you have a car and get a room on the Waianae side.
I'm sure you'll have a great time at Aulani; its a great resort.
