On the Westside at Ko'olina

Ko'olina golf course

the Disney Au'lani hotel
 Welcome back to Ko'olina, the area on the west side with I'hilani, the Marriot and now the new yet to open Au'lani hotels. The area has grown tremendously over the past five years. The once empty lots are now supporting the large and beautiful properties. The 4 lagoons are evolving all the time. They all are scenic and do well with small kids as well as adults.
Then there are the wedding chapels, they are shuttling wedding parties one after another, the Japanese take full advantage of these. There was one at each of the lagoons with another waiting for the chapels to be empty.
I remember when there was only one hotel and lots of empty space but now they have strategically place hotels and condominiums in those spaces. They are needed I guess to provide a relaxing environment for the tourists that what to see more of Hawaii then Waikiki.
I enjoyed the hour long walk and the awesome scenes within Ko'olina.
Hope you had an enjoyable day......aloha.
