rw55 you are welcome. I did think of a few other things.

The Halekulani sponsors the Honolulu Symphony (and Pops) and offers to its guests (first come first served) a limited number of tickets for performances. If you have any interest in attending a performance, check with the concierge on availability.

The pool is salt water ^ As for the small beach in front of the property, I have never understood the big deal about sitting on hard packed sand on a wet towel. If you want to enjoy the beach ask at the pool house for beach towels and step out onto the beach. Then after you've had your fill of fun in the water, I would recommend you walk back 10 feet to the gate, shower off the sand and stretch out on a comfortable padded chaise lounge with more fresh dry towels and hail a cocktail server for a nice tall cool drink.

I usually keep a few of their beach towels in the car in case I have a spontaneous need to run into the ocean or have a picnic. They also have some paperbacks at the pool house available for loan, in case you didn't bring any reading material.

If you need a morning eye opener, they serve complimentary coffee by the hostess station at House Without a Key. They have the large paper cups with lids (ala Starbucks), so you can take them over to the pool or back to your room.

If you need an afternoon pick me up, stop by the business center where they have coffee, tea, select sodas and bottled water for guests. There will also be bananas and apples.

The hotel offers some excellent complimentary fitness classes in the fitness center. Check out the "For You Everything" brochure on the desk top in the room to see what is offered on each day.

We all know that most hotels have cable TV that is less than adequate. One little known secret is that the full series of cable channels are available in the fitness room and in the business center. So if you absolutely, positively need to see something on Fox Sports West or other regular cable channel not available in your room, you know where you can go.

The hotel has complimentary wireless internet service throughout the property and in the rooms. If you don't have your own laptop, there are desktop computers available in the business center for use in case you, for instance, want to check out the goings on at Flyertalk .

If you have any other questions about this property, please feel free to ask.
