Low on towels

[Budzooka]

One towel per person today because they are low on towels. Yesterday, my DD was able to get 4 towels for her and her sister but three separate trips today have been 1 per person. Ridiculous.

Sounds like they got low on towels and they’re trying to manage it as best as they can.

It also sounds like something went wrong somewhere that they weren’t expecting given that the day before they were distributing towels liberally.

Maybe they are short because people are taking four towels for two people….

Sounds like a temporary problem with the laundry service delivery.

Lots of people use two towels after a shower, they should be able to accommodate that easily.

Is this at the pool? Or in the room?

I assumed the OP was taking about pool towels, based on the comments about “making three separate trips today” which you wouldn’t be doing for room towels, would you? Room towels wouldn’t you be calling mousekeeping instead of going somewhere? One towel per person seems fair for pool towels, but I agree two is better if it’s room towels.

Even if it's for pool use, I always grab 2 towels. Shouldn't be an issue.

Things happen behind the scenes, and the staff are doing what they need to. It happens.

Two towels per person is a pretty standard request. If it weren't, the attendant wouldn't ask you "how many?" They would just hand you one.

I always thought they asked because you may be getting pool towels for other people in your party who got wrist bands the day before or who were already at a chair….

It never crossed my mind that someone would ask for two pool towels just for themselves…. and then come on to a message board to complain that Aulani doesn’t have enough pool towels and that they can only get one pool towel….

If this is for room towels… then I get it….

One towel to lay down on the lounger, one towel to dry off with. This is simple stuff. We aren't talking about the Ramada here.

Yes, exactly. And I often go to the towel hut just for myself. Even when picking up for one person, I am always offered the choice of how many towels I need. I think the person complaining about this is just looking for things to complain about. I hope they feel better.

I think asking about the towel shortage is fair. But complaining about people asking for more than one towel is sort of weird.

This. I don't think that I've ever used more than 1 towel at a time for any reason - home, pool, or hotel room.

"I'm mad at the resort because I temporarily don't get to use an excessive amount of towels" seems like a first world problem to me.

 

[muppets3d]

If I want to use 5 towels, that's my business and the resort should be able to accommodate that. I'm not staying at the Red Roof Inn by the airport in Boise Idaho, for goodness sakes.

Sure. You have the right to waste as much water and detergent on an isolated island as you want to because you paid a lot of money, I guess.

Please read up on the water cycle.

Okay, now you're just being facetious, right?

Freshwater availability on Oahu has been a concern for a long time.

but three separate trips today have been 1 per person. Ridiculous.

Did you get 3 towels for 3 separate trips? Or did they refuse to give you more towels for your 2nd and 3rd trips because they remember your face?
