Views at Aulani are Standard (Parking Deck/Conference Center), Island/Garden ( partial view of the mountains, spa, or landscaping), Poolside/Garden (view of the pool, courtyards, water features, or landscaping), and Ocean (at least a partial view of the Ocean).
Room vacancy generally fills more quickly in June for most studios/villas than at any other time of the year. Points are lower during most of June.

Hotel Room- There are 8 hotel rooms owned by DVC at Aulani, offering limited views of the parking deck. However, these units are desirable because they require 50% fewer points per night than ocean-view rooms. DVC owners often seek out these bargains. If you do not own at Aulani, it is unlikely that these units will be fully available to you at the 7-month mark. Owners will also find it difficult to book these rooms for full weeks at 11 months.

Studios—Standard, Island Garden and Poolside Garden View studios will likely have limited or no availability for non-owners at the 7-month booking window. Ocean Views will have a better chance of securing a full week.
1 Bedroom- All views of 1-bedroom villas should be available at the 7-month window, except for the Standard view units.
2-Bedroom - Ocean view rooms will most likely be available at the seven-month mark. Other views, however, will be more hit-or-miss and may require extra flexibility or persistence to secure.
Grand Villa-Standard View units are generally unavailable for year-round booking. These units, located on the lower floors of the resort, do not offer an ocean view. However, they do provide a notable benefit: they are priced about 24% lower than ocean-view units. Historically, full ocean-view availability has been limited; some ocean-view dates appear around the 7-month booking window, but rarely for an entire week.
