  The Waikolohe Valley which named for its mischievous waters sits in the center of the resort. It features a large central garden, between the two towers, is designed to simulate Oahu’s overall landscape: dense and wet in the center; sandy and palmy on the outskirts. One of my first looks down into the Waikolohe Valley from the lobby on 8/27 around 3pm.
  The valley is flanked by the two Towers that make up Aulani. On the left is the Ewa Tower.
  Below the lobby at the start of the valley is the outdoor area of the Olelo Room
