I thought there was a shopping area on site. Is it just souvenir and trinket shops?
That's where the ABC store is located - right in the middle. Not sure if they carry chairs and umbrellas, but you can look. Anything more substantial than that you might have to go to a Walmart or something (do they have a Walmart on Oahu?).
Several of the pools are quite shady - I'm thinking the Tapa Tower. The more fun pool with the slides and stuff over on the far side (west) is pretty exposed. With all the towers and palm trees there is quite a bit of shade, of course not at the beach unfortunately.
