After soaking up sun damage at the pool, beach, and whirlpools, the hotel's spa and salon offer ways to revive skin and hair.

Alexander Day Spa and Salon provides individual and couples treatments. Spa lovers can be pampered with body wraps, sunburn treatments, and facials as well as a range of massages, such as the traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi body rub that uses long rhythmic strokes.

The spa itself is on the small side, with bland décor that doesn't reflect the lush nature and sunshine of its surroundings. To maximize your spa experience, opt for an outdoor massage, or indulge privately in your guestroom. The hotel’s beauty salon offers manicures, waxing, haircuts, coloring, and styling.

Additional features at the resort include a convenience store, business center, and car rental. The latter makes it easy for guests to take advantage of airport drop-off.
