The Pool at Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection

"Although dining, golf, and tennis are all top-notch here, the pool is rather small by today’s standards, and I find the orange-accented white room decor a little severe"

"If all you want to do is relax, there's the Mandara spa, an outdoor swimming pool, and lots of comfy lounge chairs on the beach, which, incidentally, is a perfect crescent of sand and sea, or rent a stand-up paddleboard or canoe on-site"
