The 18 best pool spots in Honolulu

Pricey yes but the portions are good and it's convenient being on site of the hotel. Our server Dana was very sweet and helpful. I tried the Acai Bowl and my husband got the eggs, potatoes and sausage. Everything tasted fresh and came out very quickly. We went there about a half hour before closing and it was fairly empty. So if you are looking to avoid the rush and crowds,around 9:30 to10am is a good time.

It's great to have breakfast here, right next to the beach and enjoy a delicious breakfast while looking at the sea! I ordered Ube waffle, it was so delicious, they stuffed the crispy waffle with ube cream inside ! $30 Chicken moco also is great but the chicken was too skinny ! $30 Service is friendly .

Came around 6:30am for breakfast (since we were up from jet lag). Prices are a little high but I feel like that’s to be expected in Hawaii. Service was good. I got uber waffles ($30) & my husband got local style beef hash (or something along those lines. $28).

Kai market is a restaurant in Sheraton. We had breakfast at this restaurant for entire trip. This has indoor+ outdoor seating. Indoor seating is as good as outdoor as this has huge glass sliding doors that gives outdoor effect to everything. Views are breathtaking. It’s oceanfront overlooking Waikiki beach. Food was decent. Omelette was really good. They can have much better options in continental option. Currently they had standard chilly regular fruits, sugary yogurt, granola mix with chopped nuts and server had no clue what nuts are in. Coffee was served and refilled cold. I am allergic and had to leave it as no idea what nuts they were using. Servers were very elderly and very sweet and friendly. I am giving 4 star as the views were stunning and the servers were super friendly.

Hard pass. The *only* reason to go here is if you Bonvoy Platinum or better, because then you get a complementary continental breakfast. If you do come here, you'll notice there is almost never a wait and the place is never full. Because.... you generally only make the mistake of coming here once. Lets start off at the top. It's EXPENSIVE. You are already paying close to $500/night to stay here (at the bottom end) and they cannot provide any breakfast included? Ok, but then your run of the mill "bacon and eggs" (the "american breakfast" which is 3 eggs, your choice of meat) breakfast is $30. Oh, but they'll say that also includes a drink, like a $5 black coffee. I'm not coffee expert but it didn't taste like anything special, nor does the menu say it's Kona coffee. So we're talking coffee that makes Starbucks better and cheaper. But here's the thing that really drove me to write this. Beyond the food being expensive and average at best. Today I ordered eggs over easy. I *never* send back food, I'll eat just about anything you give me. But what I ended up with was eggs that has been passed by a fire. The white was almost entire liquid, I should have taken a picture but I was so shocked and forgot. Sent it back and they had the gall to suggest that I didn't know eggs and should order over medium - which I acquiesced to just to get something edible. The result was hard fried, but at least over medium. I'm sorry, if you ONLY do breakfast and it's a $30 breakfast for 3 eggs, 4 slices of sausage and 3 potatoes... you gotta be able to do it right. Also, know what over easy should and shouldn't look like. If it looks like white water, something is seriously wrong. For the $50+/night resort fee, the Sheraton should just make this a place a light continental breakfast that's included for all. Maybe it was better in a pre-COVID hey-day, but now the place looks quiet sad.

This has been the poorest service we’ve experienced in Hawaii so far. Even though we ordered first, our breakfast took over 20 minutes to arrive, and no water was ever served. After the food was brought out, there was no follow-up service at all. Feel very disappointed. Once again, the difference comes down to the server rather than the restaurant itself.

Great environment, views, and service. Eggs Benedict was very disappointing. $42 for a bland dish with grocery store toast is not worth the visit.

Very nice bar to dine outside and enjoy the ocean view and sunset. I just got a few drinks, nothing major or to boast about. The bacon cheeseburger isnt a lil burger, I'll tell you that much. It felt like a pound of meat. I had to finish the rest without the bun and it was still a bit left over, you definitely will get your money's worth. And I had a lil friend that sat with me for a bit 🥰

Very nice, direct view of the sea. Pleasant live music (guitar & vocals). Juices and cocktails in disposable plastic cups, taste OK. Friendly service.

Fantastic lunch options. I was fully satisfied with the appetizer poke dip and the gorgeous view. The ukelele is a great touch!

I went there for lunch, and while soda refills were free, orange juice seemed to be an additional charge. I wish there had been clearer instructions. The Japanese-speaking staff member who came to explain was also rude. The receipt included a tip, but I have no intention of tipping for service like this. I was disappointed.

Our flight was delayed for 5 hours so we spent time here after we checked out. I am glad that we had the opportunity because we typically hang out in the infinity pool (because it is so beautiful) and don't usually sit at the bar. The best part of this experience was the bartender Locks (Locksey)-she is so down to earth, friendly and the type of person who makes you feel at home immediately! The drinks, cheeseburger and view also made for a great time!

I really would have love to rate this place higher. The scenery is nice. The seating is a bit limited but overall my issue is around the quality of the food. Most of the food here is subpar and not matching the quality expected of Sheraton. After a few tries, we decided to eat in neighboring restaurants for quick bite.

Drinks: A+ Location: A++ Service: A Atmosphere: A Couldn't really ask for a better place to have a drink. The views are breathtaking. Obviously went with a Mai Tai, was great. Highly recommended. (Did not eat, so only basing this off the drinks)

Steep getting down if you don't know where to go. There are arrows pointing the way but if you have to climb down a bit before you start to see them. We only noticed them on our way up. But take your time and you will find a suitable path down. The tide pools were fun to see. I love tide pools. Bring water shoes!

Makapu’u Tide Pools 🪨💧 Getting to the tide pools was an adventure on its own. I hiked a long way and then had to climb down what felt like a huge mountain just to reach them. Honestly, if you’re not in shape or don’t have the right shoes, it’s tough. But once you get there, it’s so worth it. The pools themselves are wild. They’re full of life including sea urchins, sea cucumbers, crabs, little fish swimming around, even starfish tucked into the rocks. The water was so clear you could see everything moving right beneath you. Swimming there felt surreal, like you’re floating in your own little pocket of ocean while the waves crash into the pools. It’s not the easiest spot to reach, but that’s what makes it feel special. A must visit in Oahu, with views that remind you just how wild and beautiful the island really is.

Go to this Tidepool all the time when I was there. Steep to get down to the Tidepool but when you get there, you’ll see couple of Tidepool and have fun. Would not recommend going on a strong waves or bad weather kind of day. Wouldn’t take kids there aswell only avid hikers or others that can handle the steep hill down to this Tidepool and back. I get to explore everything left and right of the spot when I’m down at the Tidepool but that’s only if you want to explore more there but can be dangerous if you’re not into it.

Definitely a tough trek to get to them! But worth the adventure. Very steep and lots of loose rocks. No clear path, but there are some spray painted markings to help guide you. I recommend having water shoes for once you get down to them because the rocks were very hot and slick once you're in the pools. Such a beautiful experience and also a blow hole you can see.

Awesome quiet spot. 10 min walk down on rocky paths & totally worth the trek! Some shady trees you can set your stuffs. Plenty of fishes and sea urchins tucked inside rocks, dont miss out on spotting the crabs too. Highly recommended and we had such a good time here all day. Bring your own snorkle equipments and you can swim out a little bit to spot bigger fishes!

It’s a beautiful tide pool but not really worth the hike in my opinion. The trip to and from the tide pool is pretty arduous, even following the marked path. Only go if you’re an advanced hiker and can make it down and back. Bring water and stay hydrated! Wear your sunscreen. The heat can hit you pretty quick on the side of the mountain.

Awesome experience! Quads were killing me next couple of days! But that was my fault. Keep an eye out for chalked arrows on the rocks! They'll guide you the easy route! I did extra climbing on the fastest route!

This lovely gentleman helped me with my very first online order on a hilarious customized birthday cake. He definitely went above and beyond and saved my child’s birthday party. He honestly deserves a raise. I wish I remembered his name, but he was a legend! Side note: I was supposed to pick the cake up at 4pm and ended up getting it 3 hours earlier! #blessed

12/2022 Always a great location to get your sweet fix on! Always courteous and nice workers. The menu and selections are what it is but the employees, to me, make my banana royale with chocolate and jamoca almond fudge taste better. 😋

Dessert after dinner. Might as well since it's only a few steps away from where we had dinner. Green tea matcha and peanut butter ice cream and chocolate and jamoca ice cream. Service was great. Ice cream was yummy. Nice place to go after dinner.

Well I am very disappointed and surprised with what came next on this pre packed Jamoca Almond. Empty bottom! I always go to this King Street store. The prices went up and I am willing to pay for this because it is the best. But empty bottom packing. For this visit it should be a 1 star.

Best place in town to get a real banana split! Definitely worth trying, if you have a sweet-tooth like me. They also carry Baskin Robbins ice cream birthday cakes which are customizable and some that are ready to go! Another great option is their ice cream sandwiches. You pick your favorite flavor of ice cream and they place it between your choice of 2 freshly made cookies! And yes, they have quite a few different types of cookies. If you’re in Oahu, you should definitely give them a try!

The employee running the shop was friendly, quick, & knowledgeable. I was able to get a nice, last-minute takeaway ice-cream cake!

This was disgusting there was a hair in my food it tasted so good but random dirty ppl hair in my food there’s probably more ppl eating his hair so unappetizing🤮🤢

Very nice park but many inconsiderate people with dogs off-leash. My grandson was terrified when dogs came running up to him. Telling a 9 year old that your dog doesn't bite doesn't help. Who's supposed to be enforcing the leash laws?

Gorgeous trail. Easy and fast. The picture below is a side track towards the end. Definitely recommend. Easy paid parking as well. Be ready to have muddy shoes.

Situated in middle of picturesque Mānoa Valley adjacent to Mānoa Stream and residential homes. Large and spacious community park with well maintained facilities including a gym, swimmimg pool, tennis and basketball courts, facilities for youth baseball. Easy access. Large parking lot at end of Kaʻaipu Ave. Area is very green after rainy season and on sunny days. However it rains often and is sometimes very windy. Gets dusty when baseball infields are raked on windy days.

Great water Fall. There's not a huge amount of water from the fall. The trail is rough, Rocky and slippery and muddy. But fun and amazing. Take a stick for support. It's about a 1.5 miles. Music for fun. Wear old but good boots or sneakers. You may Not want to do this hike if you have knee, ankle or leg problems. It's not an easy think hike but it's worth it.

Manoa Valley District Park is a lush, peaceful spot surrounded by mountains. Great for sports, walking, and enjoying the cool, refreshing Manoa breeze.

What a neat hike. The path is slippery in places but very nice treak. There are much harder paths you can take so the hike is adjustable to your skill level.

A great hike to enjoy if you got at least 90 min round trip. Take your time the trail is a bit slick, rocky, and winding. Look around, lots of jungle greenery on all peripherals.

The staff at this park are upstanding and wonderful. If you have kids in the area that want to try different activities, this is the place to be! Parking can be scarce, though, at times. Other than that, a great group of administrators and coaches!

Nice little park with a playground, basketball court, and clean pool. They have nice shaded parking lot.

My kids go there for summer fun and other sports during the year. Great lclean place. Great staff. Also HPD has an little office there in the parking. There are always cops around wich is safe for kids

I come here for the pickleball on Saturday mornings it's great fun.

This park is a hidden gem. It often goes unnoticed because it’s in a residential neighborhood. It has a good pool and gym. They offer good fitness classes including Zumba Gold, Tai Chi, and Senior strength. There are also swim lessons. Really worth checking out!

Nice staff and easy to access parking

Went to my son in laws basketball game there. Small, a little hot...other than that, we had a good time. Handicap parking was great too, a ramp for wheelchair access was awesome. 4 star!!!

Some of the most exquisite architecture can be found at the YWCA in downtown Honolulu. It's a great place for a workout if you're a woman. It's also a great place to learn how to run a business for women although I see some men attend a classes as well. One of the best restaurants in downtown Honolulu for lunch, is Cafe Julia located inside the YWCA. Friendly staff, great food, and overall good atmosphere for a business lunch meeting.

In 2014 my wife's locker was broken into, even with all the Cameras, the front desk refused to check or show my wife the footage.. so she was out $40.00. I told her if it ever happens again anywhere call the Police & file a report. That might help the establishment to check their videos.

While the YWCA is an important institution, it is disappointing that it is unwelcoming to disabled people. The accessible entrance is always locked. They say they will open it, but there is no way to call for it to be unlocked. The Richards Street entrance is unsafe for a person with a walker. When I asked about it, the indifference was disheartening both at the front desk and the restaurant. I expect more from the YWCA. It looks like it will take a lawsuit.

20220321. @Dress4Success @YWCA is a fabulous, empathetic program that helps low-income people like myself get suited for job interviews. They provide 2 outfits from top to bottom (bra, shoes, outfit, accessories, purse) and once one gets the job, they provide 5 more outfits! The staff and volunteers are amazing, evolving, human beings. Mahalo mil. I'm truly grateful to this organization for all their support and patience. I've been able to clothe myself these last 4 years thanks to this program, which is an evolving solution towards #equality 🙏🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏿🤩😍🥰💜👏🏾🙌💯👍🏾🧬🌐🧬🤗🤙🏽✌🏾-MarianaFriasVega 🧬☯️🧬🌐🧬🤗✌🏾😘

I was here for the Whiskey Affair Event, had an incredible time. Such a great building and atmosphere.

Group exercise program closed abruptly at the end of March 2024 with notice given to members only in January. Poor management and lack of honesty and financial transparency by Board of Directors and paid management staff. It didn't have to be this way. So disappointing. It was a neighborhood gathering place for many years and an invaluable fitness resource for seniors.

Great venue for wedding and uplighting. Food is OK. Lighting, MC, and DJ services by DJ Neekz

I go there Monday and Thursdays for free swim at night 5.45 to 7pm after that they do laps , beautiful palolo pool nice enviorment in palolo valley friendly life guards ,hot water showers clean bathrooms great place to get swimming exercise

No hot showers but otherwise a nice pool offering free lap and rec swimming at various times of the day. Call for the latest schedule.

A Great Place To Kool Off, In A Secure And Friendly Environment.

50 m municipal lap pool with bathroom shower room open to public (only) at posted hours. Be aware hours are divided between 50 m lap and 25 m lap swim; limited hours per day not open Sundays. Major State holidays normally closed; there are some exceptions with change in hours. Best to call in advance for the hours which are announced in a recorded message. Clean, well maintained.

This pool is 50 meters and has the best hours of any of the City and County pools. It has morning hours M-W and F, evenings M-Th and afternoons every day. I would give it 5 stars but I would like to see longer evening hours. It is also shallow for almost the entire length so it is excellent for elderly or disabled people who just want to water exercise. Lifeguards are very polite and friendly as at the other C&C pools.

I love coming for a swim here. Good exercise and I'm getting some sun. Deepest part of the pool is 5ft. Perfect for lap swimming. Recreation swim hours are usually between 3-5 pm and it's usually not too busy.

Great pool for the lap swim. Hours might be tough for some. Open 9:00 to 11:45 and then 1:15 to 4:45. Monday through Saturday.

Great place to bring your kids all kinds of activities. Lots to do not just swimming pool. It's the District Park. Tennis Basketball Baseball Playground Skateboard Park and more organized scheduled activities for the family.

Lane or space always available, lifeguards friendly and helpful. Pool needs a little repair, tiles missing.

I found the pool to be clean and the water temp wasn't bad. I wouldn't say it's a heated pool, but I was there to swim laps. Once I made a lap I was warm. The lifeguards didn't seem thrilled or friendly, but they weren't rude. They use cones to mark the lanes, so pay attention to the lane marker on the bottom of the pool or a lifeguard will say something. I can't complain for a FREE pool to lap swim.

My wife was trying to obey the rules by putting up our daughters hair after the life guard yelled at us that hair must be tied up, so she set our 2 year old son next to her standing up in water that went up to his thighs, as she was tying her hair the baby fell over and was floating for just a moment, the life guard alerts my wife by saying, "Does he normally do that?" my wife quickly picks up the baby and is now terrified making sure the few seconds under water didn't cause any real damage, ( it did not ) . The life guard jokes saying "The head is heavier than the rest of the body, if he were to be looking in the toilet his head would fall in" The lifeguard said it with a small laugh. My wife is shaking and in tears from the scare. The life guard then acts angry again and ask my wife if my 2 year old is wearing a swim diaper. ( he was) but it was terrible that she was crying and shook up and he was still being nasty at her about rules in that very moment! He also yelled at me and my 6 year old son when i was gently swimming with him holding onto my back. he said it was considered horse play. We left after his rudeness to my wife. All this time we stayed silent and tried to do what he was yelling at us. Ridiculous behavior that all happened in about 7 minutes. That was a year and a half ago. Never went back.

NEWEST UPDATES: no longer need reservations, however there is still 1 person per lane. They close every hour and make everyone get out of the pool and can swim again for another 50 minutes. One lane is water walking, which is literally just walking in the water. Not a good place for kids to swim, there is a line to get into the regular lanes. Its a 100meter pool, huge lanes, lots of water, which means lots of pumps and filtration which means lots of resources to keep the pool clean. The amount of chemicals needed must be astronomical. Bad allocation of resources. It's essentially the same thing as running every appliance in a house at the same time all the time, but only staying in one room. The pool can hold much more than 7 people safely. We allow restaurants where everyone is eating or planes where everyone is inches away, but we can't have more than 7 people in a humongous pool at the same time? Perhaps make everyone show they are vaccinated or tested negative like restaurants and everything else? Or close the pools, i can't get over the wasted resourced keeping this thing running. COVID UPDATES: for anyone who is wondering i uploaded a photo of the hours. and also the new number to call. In addition to the really weird time frames and 15, yes 15 rules they have posted. They only take reservations in the morning from 7:45am to 8am, if you come after that they do not take reservations, I do not know why but this is also the same state that allows covid positive travelers to come to hawaii as long as they do a 14 day quarantine. You will need to call the front desk with the number I updated, and some lifeguard will come to the front gate to escort you in... the gate will be unlocked so I don't know why they would need someone to escort you in if the gate is unlocked. They said they want to lessen the cross contamination between patrons, but if this is true, its better to have a lock on the gate, vs. a sign that says STOP, especially if a lifeguard is going to come and escort you in anyways.

Nice pool with a great swim club there if you you have kids. They swim Mon-thurs right now from 5-6. Swim groups ranging from novice to advance

Wonderful place to swim. Love the 50 meter distance, and lifeguards are super kind and helpful!

Sarah is amazing!! 12/10 and would recommend to anyone, male or female. She puts so much pride in her quality of work and boy does it show every haircut I get. Her attention to detail is exceptional.

My experience was a series of unfortunate events from haircut to hair color. I came here due to the high reviews. But walked out with 6 months of unwanted style.

SarahRenee did an amazing job! She has attention to detail, constantly checks if both sides of my hair match, asks about my requests, did better than what I asked for AND gives a really good head massage while washing your hair! I was smiling ear to ear when I saw the finished product! I definitely recommend this place and her!

I had Haugen do my hair and it was the best experience I have ever had! He put a lot of care into the process and made my hair look incredible. I didn't know my hair could look that good! I felt like a completely different person with so much confidence.

Hagen is wonderful! Ask and you shall receive! He gave me exactly what i was hoping to get out of a haircut! It's hard to find a good hairstylist sometimes, but once you find the right one, stick with them! Can't wait to see what a good color job looks like at a future appointment! Thank you!

Sarah is a gem! My current stylist moved and I was looking for a new one...she's a keeper! She took the time to ask questions -made sure we were on the same page...the cut was exactly what I wanted! The layer's, the texture, the length... perfect! Thank you Sarah 😊

Shaina is amazing! I went to her during my visit because my hair was weighing me down. She listened to what I was looking for and made it happen. I left with my long locks intact and some beautifully feathered layers to lighten up the load. Additionally, Shaina gave me some tips on some of the best local places on the island. Thanks, Shaina!

Dropped in to this nice little basic city pool with 5 X 25 yard lanes for some swims while here on vacation. Entry is free of charge and it's first come first serve. Probably best to show up about 30 minutes after opening when most of the first group of swimmers get out. One person per lane unless you share with someone you're with. Check opening times, they vary daily. About a 35 minute walk from Waikiki hotels.

Great neighborhood pool. Small and short. Water clean. Parking not easy.

What is the gated area next to the pool for and why do kids get in trouble for skateboarding there?

Really nice climbing structure for ages 2-8. Good shade. Great grass park.

Almost everything for outdoor sporting, basketball, tennis, baseball, football, and a swimming pool... WOW! Did I mention a playground and clean restrooms. It's a great place to be active.

Really relaxed place to do laps. The locals who swim there are nothing but lovely, staff is on point with professionalism and Aloha.

Plenty of parking... Staff was casual and friendly... Felt right at home with my kids.

Our driver was Leone, he was a wealth of information and narrated along the route so much history and just facts about the places we stopped at. He was very friendly and welcoming. I have never been to this Island and was so glad we were able to. My wife and I loved the breathtaking views from the overlook. Highly recommend this tour!

We had such a fun time with Leone as our guide. This is a fun family trip and would would for folks with mobility issues (they do need to walk up the steps to the bus but there are handrails in both sides, mobility devices were not a problem and were stowed under the bus). The spouting horn was lovely and the canyon was grand and majestic. You could be dropped off at the Anchor shopping mall or back at the cruise port. This was much less expensive than taking the cruise excursions the same quality as other sup sponsored trips. We have used Roberts for pier and airport transfers and have generally been impressed the the overall professionalism of the company.

This was a great combination tour. Quick drive out of town and up to the Kona Coffee Farm for tasting, then to Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Park, then finishing up at the Painted Church. Our guide did an INCREDIBLE job of describing the coffee industry and how the beans are farmed in the Kona district. The tasting was excellent and a great opportunity to buy at the producer. The highlight of this tour was certainly the Pu’uhonua o Honaunau park. We were fortunate to have a group that walked thru the grounds with some respect for the Aina. It's really a fascinating and powerful place to feel the history of the island. But the Painted Church was great and an amazing display of the dedication of the early missionaries to Hawaii. If you are cruising the islands, this is a must attend excursion.

We did multiple tours with Roberts Hawaii during our stay on Oahu and during our time visiting the other Islands. All guides were very experienced and gave detailed local knowledge and further tips for later visits. Vehicles were well maintained and clean. Good communication prior to trips, easy pick up and drop off.

We had 3 excursions with Roberts while visiting Hawaii from a cruise ship and loved all 3! The drivers and our guides were excellent and the bus was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend them as they are less expensive than the ship excursions!

Take your Hawaiian excursions through this company. They are just wonderful. Our guides were awesome. Leone really cared that we had a great experience. Cost much more reasonable than cruise line.

We just came back from POA cruise to the islands. We used Robert's Hawaii for two of our excursions. One in Hilo - Rainbow Falls and Volcano National Park and One in Kaui - The Waimea Canyon (morning) and Fern Grotto (in the afternoon). Both tours were FANTASTIC. The tour guides were extremely educated, prepared and excited about showing us the best spots and for learning about the sites. They not only spoke to us on the bus but got off the bus at the stops with us and made sure we knew what we were looking at and made sure we made the most of the excursion. They were personable, fun and really cared about what we wanted to see and do on the excursions. Robert's Hawaii was the best excursions we had and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND - very reasonable pricing in comparison to some others. Shout out to Cousin Lisa and Leone for taking such good care of us! Robert's is lucky to have both of them on their team.

This is an outstanding golf simulator facility with top-notch service. The owner, Alex, is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping others improve their game. I walked in without an appointment and was immediately welcomed and assisted. Alex took the time to understand my skill level and goals, and patiently guided me through the areas I needed to work on, providing clear tips and techniques to help me improve. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with high-quality technology that makes the experience even better. I was also able to conveniently book a golf lesson on the spot, which I truly appreciated. Overall, the level of customer service and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to sharpen their golf skills — I’ll definitely be telling all my family and friends about it. Thank you Alex!

The technology here is amazing, but what made it even better was how clearly everything was explained. Nobody had ever broken it down for me before — I finally understood what all the numbers meant and how to use them to actually improve my game. The equipment is high-tech, the info is accurate, and the staff made it easy to get the most out of it.

Very nicely setup. Right now, they have a really good rate as a grand opening event. If you want to go to just have fun, you have 30 min and 60 min times. The data you get can really help you understand your distances for your clubs if you are a beginner and if you want to see where your new set measures up to. Bring your own clubs or use the ones they have their. They have a little putting area as well. They have drinks you can buy there as well. They are helpful and attentive as well, giving advice if you're willing to accept it. All in all, it was a great experience and very fun.

Great place to come and enjoy a sim. Lots of products to see and try out. The sim is affordable. Not busy.

Friendly Staff. Good air-conditioned facility. Just right for old man like me, 1/2 hour session.

Alex always helpful, ITL never crowded and the monitor easy to use. great place to hit balls and work on "stuff" in the shopping center while the other half spends money.

Amazing place to get fitted. You can try many different shafts and options to see how each affects the ball flight... to really see what works best for you. I also got fitted for a L.A.B. putter. Definitely the place to go to.

The pool was closed when I went. Arrived for my son's basketball practice. The pool looks amazing and I would like to take my kids here one day. Maybe when COVID is over I can write a better review. Plently parking and a playground for small kids. A lot and I mean a LOT of police officers always in the parking lot.

First off.. Its free! The hours of operation is reasonable, and fit perfectly in between the day where it isnt too cold to swim. Never crowded. Parking is close and pool is accessible to those with disabilities. Also life guards are always so helpful and nice!

The lifeguards let us bring our wagon full of me and the kids things into the pool area so we could keep an eye on them. I'm sure they let us bend a few more rules as long as we weren't a safety hazard. Even offered us rubber bands for our hair when me and my niece thought that we had lost ours. The lifeguards basically rock! Just wish the pool was deeper and the rec side (not dedicated to laps) was a little bigger. No handicap ramp for main pool fyi too(not sure if one is necessary but for the sake of detail I'm letting you know).

Aunty Dana is the Pool head person and she's amazing. Always helping the kids learn to swim on their own and even jumping in the pool some times with them just for fun.

Because the lifeguards are really kind and they make us laugh so that's why I love going to the pool and the lifeguards keep us safe

Not usually crowded in this clean 50 meter pool. Swimming laps is fun.

Same ol kalihi gym from when I was growing up till now good place to play ball with friends

We have always had a great experience with the pool and staff. The amenities are great and we like that they take a safety break every hour on the hour. Lifeguards are professional and courteous. We love the pool!

we always feel that pool rule is way too strict for kids.. but it’s military hotel.. I understand they have a lot of rules…

As far as resort pools go, this one is great. It was recently renovated and has a huge area for kids which is awesome. It's nicely maintained and literally steps from the beach and bar. I'm kind of surprised at the one star reviews saying they're upset they can't use the pool if they're not staying at the hotel. I've honestly never in my life heard of anyone using a hotel pool at which they're not staying at. Obviously you need to have a room here to use the pool otherwise it would be way overcrowded for actual guests.

Amazing pool!!! Adult infinity pool up top while you watch your kids play down below with two slides and a splash pad.

We’ve been coming to the Hale Koa for decades. It’s been a huge part of many family’ and friends’ Waikiki memories over the years. We have stayed at the resort, visited during years stationed here, and entertained at poolside when staying at timeshares. We brought three generations here this trip and are staying on another end of the island. We’ve been planning for over a year for the grands to enjoy the pool and new aquatic center…only to find out it is closed to non Hale Koa guests. As a military retiree family, this is very disappointing news. I would have hoped the aquatic complex would remain open to all military beneficiaries, whether staying at resort or not. Possible for the Hale Koa to consider an Aquatic Center Day Pass rate for military beneficiaries not staying at the resort?

***MILITARY DISCRIMINATION** Hale Koa is an upscale resort for Military members and Families, BUT there are major issues with pool access AND the hours of operation. 1. NO MORE ACCESS: Pool staff looks you up by room number and name before issuing a wrist band. You can no longer attain access to the pool(s) unless you are staying in the hotel. That means - all AD, USAR, USARNG, Retirees or Family Members can no longer visit Hale Koa to swim unless you are paying for a room. This discrimination shenanigan began with the opening of the new pool in 2020. 2. POOL HOURS SUCK. The current hours do not support Families. Many Hale Koa guests work during the day (Schofield Barracks, Ft. Shafter, Hickam, etc.). By the time we return to the Hale Koa (Sun-Thur), the pools are closed. 1700 is extremely early to close pools as it eliminates family time. It also eliminates viewing Friday fireworks poolside. In comparrison to the neighboring Hilton Hawaiian Village, they keep their main pool open until 9pm (2100), which affords families the opportunity to enjoy the pool into the evening hours, including the fireworks display at 2000 on Fridays! Cudos to Hilton for accommodating Families. Hale Koa Pool hours: 0900-1700 SUN-THUR 0800-2000 FRI-SAT Hilton Hawaiian Village: 0830-2100 I've spent over 100 days in the Hale Koa since 2016 and have noticed a decline in military accomodation. It is sad to see the progression and the only thing that keeps me coming back is the price. I have stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Sheraton, Ala Moana, Hilton, Moana Surf Rider and Courtyard Marriot. All are great stays and have much later pool hours than Hale Koa. To Hale Koa: Support and accommodate military Families in two simple steps: 1. Increase your pool hours to 2200. 2. Bring back access to all military ID (CAC) holders. If you do, I will change this from a 1 star to a 5 star and refer you to others. Hit the HELPFUL button if you agree. Thanks, Brian Hargis Google Guide

Very nice place but there were 2 things that were a disappointment. 1- pool hours who closes there pool at 5pm when on vacation! 2- beds are super uncomfortable other than that it was a nice place. Why isnt there microwaves in the rooms?

(Translated by Google) Just go and visit before leaving, nothing special. (Original) 純粹走之前去參觀下，無乜特別

The pool and hottub is great and relaxing. Extra nice because no kids... but the hours need to change. Closing the pool before the sun even sets is not cool. I believe it closed at like 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It'd be great if they closed at like 10p.m.
