That is our plan this time around as we transition from Maui to Aulani. I deliberately booked our flight early AM so that we can be at Aulani in the morning. We intend to mske use of the resort amenities including pools as rooms are typically not ready until close to 4PM.
As others have mentioned, not only you can use the amenities when you check-in, even when room isn't ready, you can also the amenities on the same day you checked out, even after you checked out. If the Luana Lounge wasn't closed, it's perfect way to start and end your Aulani stay. Enjoy your stay at Aulani and vacation in Hawaii.
