Aloha Hualalai Club Member,
A Hurricane Watch has been issued for Hawaii County, which means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area.
Additional information can be found online at the National Hurricane Center http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Residents and visitors are advised to take precautions and to prepare for potentially challenging conditions. The situation will continue to be monitored and additional updates will be sent as information is made available.
In the event you are not in residence, we recommend you to contact your property manager and ask them to take necessary precautions.
In anticipation of Hurricane Madeline — and with the safety and comfort of our Members, Employees and Guests as our highest priority – we have decided to initiate a precautionary closure of the Club and Hotel facilities tomorrow, Wednesday, August 31st, including a closure of the Hotel at 3 p.m.
While we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, we believe this is the most prudent approach given our proximity to the shoreline, our Hotel low-lying bungalow style accommodations, and our location that is close to where the hurricane is expected to pass.
We have already initiated several precautionary measures around the Resort, and will continue to do so over the next day and night. We thank you for your patience as we make necessary preparations, which include:
· Our Club and Hotel facilities will offer its full range of services and amenities today, Tuesday, August 30th.
Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, August 31st, breakfast and lunch will be served in our ballroom from 6:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. HST.
Hualalai Trading Company remains open until 3 p.m. HST, Wednesday, August 31st.
No other Club or Hotel services or amenities will be available as we prepare to close the resort.
· Hotel guests are being assisted with alternate accommodations on island, which are also available to you and your guests should you have interest.
Please call or visit our Club Concierge, at 808-325-8450 should you need assistance.
· Your Hualālai Club team continues to closely monitor the progress of Hurricane Madeline. You can expect to receive further communication from myself.
A core group of our Security and Engineering team will be stationed at the resort during the closure and can be contacted to assist co-ordinate in the event of any medical emergencies.
Once the storm passes, we will assess the property and re-open as soon we can, once we have ensured the resort is safe for our Members. At this time, we expect to reopen Friday, September 2nd, but we will keep you posted with updates.
Most importantly, we hope you and your families stay safe and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 808-896-0392.
Aloha,
Helen
