We want to go, but upon careful reading of tons of reviews, I'm getting a little worried about the potential noise level at Aulani. I have an ear disorder, so excessive noise is very problematic for me.
I'm primarily concerned about noise at the pool and on our balcony (I already plan to skip the Luau). I've read that some balconies open to live music, outdoor movies or the Luau. Any tips on which room type (standard size, either resort or DVC) will be the quietest? I'm happy to forsake a view (or pay more) if it also means avoiding noise.
Also, is there music constantly playing at the family pool & lazy river? If so, how loud is it? Is it pop music, or atmospheric background music? I'm a single mom traveling with my son, so we'll only use the family pools, not an adult-only pool. We'll use the beach, too, but if the family pools always have loud music, this is probably not a good resort for us as we like to spend a few hours at the pool each day.
Should someone with ear issues just skip Aulani entirely, or is it not too bad? I'm referring mainly to recorded or live music amped up by speakers. That's the biggest source of noise at resorts in my experience, not people or kids talking or playing, which I don't have a problem with.
Thanks for any guidance or help.
