You're going to see both ends of the spectrum on responses. All valid for that person posting.
Here's mine:
We don't travel to Hawaii to NOT have a fantastic view. Views are really important to us. A nice room, a nice view, all of it.
I can't imagine being in Hawaii and having a "garden" or "mountain" view, let alone a parking lot or street. Not gonna happen.
We equate Hawaii with the ocean and want to experience it when we are in our room.
If I had a non-view room, I would feel like a "have not" and be grumbly about not seeing the ocean. It's not good enough just to be in Hawaii and at Aulani. If I'm paying that much for a beautiful vacation, I want it to be 100% a tropical vacation with all the trappings. That's just me.
You need to figure out if the $3K is worth it to YOU. If it has value, then get the view room. If not, definitely don't. You've got many ideas on this thread. Now go and have the best time! It's a great place!
