It felt quite decadent laying under an umbrella by the Fountain Pool or reading a trashy murder mystery in one of the high-end cabañas by the adults-only Serenity Pool. It wouldn’t be a Hawaiian vacation without tropical drinks. The hotel’s poolside cocktail menu includes a classic Mai Tai, a Lava Flow — basically a piña colada with a dash of strawberry puree — a Blueberry Mojito and a few new creations.
