*Important note: The hot tubs and pool are closed for annual maintenance for two weeks each year. This is usually done sometime in late spring/early summer but we have no control over the timing. While we will advise of the exact dates each year as soon as they are scheduled, we will not be responsible if this necessary annual maintenance closure falls during your booked stay. The remainder of the rec deck will remain open during this time. Accidents sometimes happen which necessitate the pool being closed for short periods for cleaning. Again, this is beyond our control and we are not responsible for any emergency closures that may happen from time to time. We apologize for any inconvenience these closures may cause.
** IMPORTANT: The Waikiki Banyan is currently undergoing a complete renovation of the 6th floor recreation deck beginning April 2025 and it is expected to take 10-12 months to complete. The project includes important structural work as well as exciting updates like a new pool, hot tubs, new lounge chairs, cabanas and umbrellas, All rec deck amenities, including the pool, will be CLOSED until approx. May 2026. We understand that these closures may impact your overall experience, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance our shared spaces. Please note that, although our unit is on the opposite side of the building from the rec deck construction and 31 floors up, there will be noise in some areas of the building during the construction phase and the rec deck facilities will NOT be available for use during the renovation period.
