Our Private Pool
By Lothar. Filed in Hawaii |
We are spending this week at Wailea Hotel and have a Japanese Onsen and pool all to ourselves. We swim and exercise daily in the outdoor pool, and have no idea where the other guests are. The spa has about 15 body scrub cubicles, Japanese style, all low to the ground. There are batteries of soap bars and little shampoo bottles. Towels with red Hibiscus flowers are placed everywhere. All this work, just for the two of us. Every day, Gabi and I have the whole place to ourselves. We rotate between the hot bubble bath, circular powerful body shower (you are standing in the middle of a spiral spraying you from all angles), waterfall shower and hot water chaises. The view from the open air hot bath encompasses the tropical gardens, the ocean and West Maui Mountains and Lanai in the distance. The spa roof has a dome with a big open eye, similar to the Pantheon in Rome, letting the sunshine hit the water. Very nice and relaxing!
