But when it comes to room size (AKL and GC standard rooms are barely larger than WDW's moderates), quality of furnishings and availability of services (24-hr Room Service, etc) they just don't measure up to really top notch resorts. Aulaini deserves a high ranking. Not so sure about the others.

My personal favs: * Marriott's Kauai Beach Club * Westin Kierland Resort (Scottsdale) * Terranea Resort (Palos Verdes, CA) * JW Marriott Grand Lakes (Orlando)
