Many of you returning to Hualalai have commented that it’s not the same here as it was pre-COVID. Ain’t that the truth!!!!!!
One of the differences is that new rules have been established because of the pandemic. Although I don’t always want to follow them, I realize the Club is trying to protect us, and that they are mandated by Hawai’i County to do so. Please co-operate with all staff when they ask. (I forgot my temperature ribbon one night and had to go home to get it. Fortunately, nothing is more than 5 minutes away.)
Below is the map with a COVID-19 Update of cases in Hawai’i.
- Hawaiʻi County: 1386 (11 new; 216 within last 14 days; 68 required hospitalization; and 31 deaths)
I thought I’d re-share part of the Club Update from Martin Sinclair about:
Physical distancing and face masks:
Hualalai continues to stress the importance and the benefits of safe practices of physical distancing and wearing masks. Members have expressed their expectation that this courtesy should be exercised among fellow Members around the property and especially when they are within six feet of other Members and employees.
In accordance with Hawai’i County regulations, as well as, with guidance from medical experts and in line with industry best practices, Hualālai Club requires that all Members and guests (age 5 and above) wear a face mask when in all indoor and outdoor public spaces on property and when entering and leaving all outlets and areas, such as the Canoe Club, Ke’olu, Residents’ Beach House, swimming pools, and Alaka’i Nalu. Masks should be worn at all times in the Trading Company, Salon, Fitness Center, Tennis Shop, Golf Pro Shop, comfort stations, and all restrooms. Please ensure children are also respecting these policies as it puts our team members in very uncomfortable situations to address the children when these guidelines are not followed. Masks are strongly recommended for children age 2-4 years old.
Dining Outlets including Trading Company
Wristbands and face masks are required
Based on Hawai’i Country regulations dining party sizes may be limited to the prevailing guidance for large party seating. Masks are required at all times while entering and moving through the restaurant. They may be removed when seated at your table. Visiting other tables during your dining experience is not permitted to allow for appropriate physical distancing in the restaurant. Tables have been arranged to allow for required physical distancing in each outlet.
Pools
Wristbands and face masks are required upon entry and departure
Masks are required at all times while entering the pool and if stepping off the deck, for example to utilize restrooms or mobile devices. They may be removed while seated at your lounger or utilizing the pool. Visiting other loungers during your pool experience is not permitted to allow for appropriate physical distancing. Loungers have been arranged to allow for required physical distancing at each pool.
For further information, you can refer to Martin’s update.
