The JW Marriott Ihilani is right next door and shares the lagoon. Aulani is expensive-- standard room is around $450 - since it is so new haven't seen any discounts yet.
Looked into it.. and at Disneyland, went to Disney Vacation Club, to price out Aulani..

Still its $60K to buy a week peak season.. plus $2,800 a year for maintenance (point fee annual)..

and at $450 to $500 booking outside as public, may as well get other accomodations.. We'll just visit the site at those prices..

There was a 25% off introductory sale.. but I couldn't get spring break, as it was far off in the horizon.. and not bookable..
