POOL/BEACH (view images)
Enjoy fun in the sun at the Sheraton Waikiki’s pool and neighboring beach area for guests! From June 15th, 2008 guests of the Sheraton Waikiki will be able to relax at the beach area in front of The Royal Hawaiian Hotel and beach hours of operation will be 7:00am to 6:00pm daily.
The Main pool is 8ft deep and the shallow end is 4ft deep. The pool water temperature is cool in the morning and warmer in the afternoon; neither pool is heated.
The surrounding trees provide shade for a small section of the pool area. Lounge chairs located on the grassy area of the pool are also available for relaxation or sunbathing.
Beyond the Sheraton Waikiki’s main pool lies an intimate stretch of sandy beach. During low tide, guests and families may sunbathe on the sand and enjoy the gentle saltwater waves. High tide however, brings waves over the beach area fronting the hotel and guests are recommended to walk over to adjacent beach areas a few steps away.
