The AOBO has been advised that The Kiahuna Swim and Tennis Club has reopened today, Saturday, under the name of the Poipu Beach Athletic Club (PBAC). John Horwitz of the Knudsen Family Trust deserves a big mahalo for his efforts to get this done.
Castle Resorts and Phase I are the primary members of the club (approx. 150 members). Their guests are able to enjoy the swimming and tennis facilities across the street. Individual Kiahuna owners are welcome to join on their own, through Castle Resorts, if they are not already with the Castle Resorts rental program. No one will be required, however, to change rental programs in order to join the pool.
The Knudsen Family Trust is the entity managing the pool facility. There is a general manager on site. It is our understanding that they intend to make significant improvements to the facility in the coming months, including new lanai furniture, new resort quality towels, and pool toys. In 2014, they have said that they intend to add a fitness facility to the property, including fitness classes, cardio area and machines.
The pool will initially be open 6 days a week. When there are 200 members, they will open the facility 7 days/week.
Monday is the day the facility will be closed.
However, the PBAC will be open this Monday and next Monday to make up for the closures on Christmas and New Years. They will close on Christmas Eve at 3:00pm.
The Club will be initially offering cold drinks and toys, at no charge.

They have promised to keep the pool open 6 days a week to start. If there are 200 members, they will open the facility 7 days/week.
Monday is the day the facility will be closed until there are more members.

This does not mean that the AOBO is abandoning its efforts to build a pool on site.
This is an effort to get something in place for the immediate future to accomodate guests who want a pool and/or tennis court.
The AOBO has every intention of continuing the process of building a pool on the property.
Please address any questions to Castle Resorts or Roy Thompson. Their number is 808-742-2200.
The AOBO wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new year.
