Pool Volleyball?

Can anyone recommend a hotel/resort on oahu where this is available?

Great question! I searched pretty thoroughly and couldn’t find solid, up-to-date evidence that many (or any) big-name hotels or resorts on Oahu regularly have *pool volleyball nets* as a standard amenity. It seems to be quite rare. But I did find a few relevant notes, plus a few work-around ideas depending on how important pool volleyball is for you.

What I Found — and What Is Unclear

  • A couple of TripAdvisor users remarked that “Aqua Zumba” is available at hotels like Alohilani and Surfjack — but there was *no mention* of scheduled pool-volleyball.
  • The Courtyard by Marriott O‘ahu North Shore *does* note that guests can “gather … for a game of volleyball” — however, that appears to refer to *land volleyball*, not necessarily “pool volleyball.”
  • The Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club (on Oahu) *does* actually have a water-volleyball net in one of its pools, according to a first-hand travel report.
  • At The Ritz-Carlton / Turtle Bay (North Shore), the Ocean Villas mention access to a *beach volleyball court*, but not a *pool* net.

Top Recommendation for Pool Volleyball on Oahu

  • Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club — This is the clearest pick based on your question. Their lagoon-style pool reportedly *includes a volleyball net*, making it one of the few (if not the only) Oahu resort pools where you can actually play water volleyball.

Other Considerations / Alternatives

  • If “pool volleyball” is non-negotiable, you may want to call resorts ahead and explicitly ask about water-sports-style/ pool-volleyball nets — sometimes amenities change or aren’t clearly listed online.
  • Consider resorts with *beach volleyball* instead — if you’re okay playing in the sand, the Ritz-Carlton / Turtle Bay has that amenity.
  • If your group is very set on pool sports, you might also look at day-pass options at hotels — even if your hotel doesn’t have a net, a nearby resort might let you in to their pool area and offer more activity options (though availability can vary).

Bottom Line

There are very limited Oahu hotels that clearly support *pool volleyball*. The only one I found with confirmed water-volleyball net is Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club. If pool volleyball is a must for you, that resort is your best bet — otherwise, you might need to compromise (either by playing on the beach or checking day-pass options).
