Aulani from the Lagoon

The first time I ever visited the Aulani Resort, back in 2013, I kept my exploration on property and never ventured out to the lagoon area, since I mistakenly thought it was for hotel guests only.  I missed out, because the view from the tip of Ko Olina Lagoon #1 is pretty spectacular, offering a grand angle of the entire hotel and resort facing the ocean.  This is the pristine moneyshot, and it's a beautiful sight--one that I had to feature right away when I started sharing new photos of Aulani taken from my trip a couple of months ago.  

Well, this is the first pair of photos that being to zoom a little closer, delving into a bit more detail at this spectacular piece of Disney paradise!
