Finesse
distinguishes the Pono Kai, right down to the rope-wrapped
poles holding up tiki torches. Large wooden chairs
permanently installed by the beach allow guests to
sunset- and whale-watch or just dreamily contemplate the
vast, blue ocean. The hot tub next to the 22-by-40-foot
pool is a roomy 10 square feet. Picnic tables in the
poolside gas-grill barbecue area include three that are
wheelchair-accessible. Charcoal grills are available
along the beachfront. Lush gardens screen the pool, but
beachfront lawns feature only coconut trees so the open
space remains compatible with the broad ocean vista.
Amenity highlights: Nearly deserted, the
mile-long beach beckons guests whether rough water
discourages swimming and snorkeling or calm water
invites them. A biking/jogging path runs parallel to the
beach. Lounge chairs are available on the beach, on
sunning lawns, or around the pool. In addition to
volleyball, an 18-hole putting course, two tennis
courts, two shuffleboard courts, and the croquet lawn,
there's also a lawn for bocce .You can also indulge in
local customs with hula or lei-making lessons, or by
checking out local arts and crafts vendors, located near
the activities desk. While you’re there, our concierge
will be happy to book an island excursion for you or
make reservations for a luau.
No trip to Hawaii would be
complete without a visit to the beautiful beaches.
Just a few steps away from the resort, you can drench
yourself in the sun atop golden sands, snorkel in the
turquoise waters and surf or boogie board on the
legendary ocean swells. For a more serene experience,
enjoy the sun and scenery poolside or lose yourself in
the luxury of the hot tub or sauna.
