Just finishing up 9 glorious days at Aulani. Our whole family loved it. Will make a more detailed post later!

I read a lot of posts about faded swimsuits, dried out hair and skin due to over chlorinated pools. We didn’t experience any significant issues other than some dried skin that smelled of chlorine even after shower on one of the days….but, my theory is they over chlorinate the pools because the expect people to pee in them!!!! For the record no one in our family peed in the pool because ew! But I can see why people might…..

Where the heck are the bathrooms for the hundreds of people by the pool?! Did we miss something??? Only 2 bathrooms that have. 2-3 stalls for the entire pool area? The only bathroom that has adequate number of stalls we came across was outside of Olelo. Did we miss bathrooms or was this an oversight in design?!
 
Well, hate to do this to you, but according to Mark Rober, it’s because of the pee that it smells so much like chlorine, not necessarily because there is so much chlorine. There’s something you’ll never un-known. 😳 🤣. Made me never wanna go swimming again lol.

There is also a set of bathrooms in-between the adult pool and the infinity pool.
 

We’d start the morning in the pool, then did a lot of beach time in the afternoon. We noticed pool water was cloudy by afternoon. Also more crowded! So worked out for us. Just seems like such an oversight to have such an expansive pool area and minimal bathrooms!
