thank you! we just booked using rented points for the first time and are very excited with the savings!
I'm going in late September so I can let you know how it works out for me. I just called Aulani and they "see something there" but wasn't able to pull up the reservation for some reason, said I would need to speak to DVC. I emailed David's to see how I can confirm, but I just got a reply that I can check in 10 days before to ensure the reservation is still intact.
I’m not the person you’re asking but we also rented points thru David’s and arrived at Aulani last night. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went. We were able to do online check in once we were within the 10 day window without issue and actual check in last night was painless. All our room requests (which we sent to David’s who then has the actual DVC owner submit them) were granted.Can we get an update on how it went?
What kind of room did you get? Any recommendations for the kinds of room requests to make?

We have a 1bd villa, Island/Garden view.What kind of room did you get? Any recommendations for the kinds of room requests to make? We requested the highest floor possible for our Garden View room so that we don’t end up in the bushes
Wow, nice view! I am hoping to get a view of the pool area with a partial ocean view. We’ll be in a studio so I think those only go up to the 6th floor or so. I’ll check the views and see if I can narrow down a more specific room block request. Thanks!
We were given villa 971 and this is our view.
I just checked our contract and it says “Studio Poolside Garden” so I guess that is Pool View, right? That they tacked “Garden” on there threw me offIf you have Island/Garden view booked that’s not going to happen. All rooms on the “inside” of the Aulani “U” are either Ocean View or Pool View. Pool View is 5th floor and below, Ocean View 6th floor and up.
There are studios on all floors. If you have Island/Garden view booked and want to see the ocean (no way to see the pools with this view category) your best bet is the room block I requested, I believe.

That’s why I requested the highest possible room, because I saw they only go to the 5th floor
Right, but when I’m looking at all the pictures people have posted of their rooms, it just falls under Pool View, correct?
I know putting in another request may not work but if I can find the ideal view we’d prefer, I’d love to at least try for it
