Help!! I really need to relax by a great pool! I love the pool areas at the Hyatt on Maui and the Hyatt on Kauai. Which hotel in Hololulu has the best pool area? Is the Hilton Hawaiian Village OK?

Hilton Hawaiian pool is very active, and not necessarily conducive to relaxation. Try the Halekulani (expensive) or the Sheraton Moana Surfrider (recently restored). Both are great.

For a RELAXING hotel in Honolulu(tho it isn't exactly in Waikiki ) try the Kehala Mandarin Oriental in the suburb of Kehala .Previous writer absolutely correct--lots of activity around pools at the Hilton Hawaiian; lots of fun, but not a quiet, relaxing place. It has 2 adjoining pools, little lava rock type waerfall, and little streams with ducks, etc surrounding the pool area- closest you'll get to, though not anywhere near as elaborate as, the Hyatts you mentioned.

Relaxing? Get out of Honolulu - go directly to The Ihilani Resort & Spa. Best Hotel on O'ahu. Most relaxing pool. Clean, next to serene ocean, poolside service, fluffy towels, great service. Beach has lovely hammocks tied to the coconut trees around the sand.

It is on the West side of the Island a little off the beaten track - beyond well worth it - a must do!

OH! also they have a little used lap pool on the top deck of thier spa. I'd bet you would be the only one there.

Happy Lapping!

Glad to hear that you like the pool at Hyatt Kaua'i. We will be there this fall...we also need some rest and relaxation. Prior to going to the Hyatt Kaua'i, we will spend 3 nights at the Hyatt Waikiki. Can you tell me anything about that property? Thanks.
