Hawaii: Maui

A wonderful family vacation spot is on the island of Maui in Hawaii.  If you are planning a family vacation this summer, why not check out the Westin Maui Resort.  Here are some highlights of this grand hotel.

Your children will never get bored at this report.  With an aquatic playground that includes: five pools, grottos, waterfalls, spa tubs, and a water slide; you will always know where the children will be spending most of their time as the hotel also offers a supervised children’s program.  

With their open-air restaurant, poolside grill, and outdoor café that hosts nightly entertainment, the Westin Maui Resort has it all.  Children of ages 12 and younger receive complementary meals at most restaurants.  

Nestled on a white sandy beach, the resort also has tropical gardens, a full health spa, a sauna, non-smoking air-conditioned rooms, arcade and game room, coffee shop, hair salon, fitness equipment, and much more.

The rooms offer private, furnished lanais, with island décor; refrigerator, TV, coffee maker, bathrobes, child care, iron and ironing board, cribs, and rollaway beds.

Some of the activities you and your family can participate in include: miniature golf, a golf course, snorkeling, whale-watching, bicycle rentals, hiking, horseback riding, helicopter sightseeing, and a nearby playground.  There are many more activities available.

The restaurants offer a wide array of choices.  One overlooks Kaanapali Beach and is an open-air restaurant offering fresh island seafood and grilled food as well.  The poolside bar and grill offers breakfast buffets, sandwiches, fish, salads, and tapas.  The dining room café, overlooking the ponds and waterfalls, serves light foods throughout the day.   There is also a food stand near the pool and beach area where you can obtain cold drinks and snacks.   

The Westin Maui Resort also has a Kids’ Club that offers cultural activities for children ages 5 to 12.

Spending your family vacation at an island report in Maui that caters to families has become the norm, rather than the exception.  In year’s past, Maui was considered the “honeymooner’s” island.  

With more visitors to Hawaii than ever before, it seems only fitting that some of the hotels on the island of Maui have changed their collective mind-set and offer a family vacation resort that provides a myriad of activities and clubs for everyone to enjoy.

Best Beach Vacations In Hawaii

Well, recently it has been a mixed period of weather for most of us. Many of northern parts of the United States have had snow and even some parts of Western Europe have had a small dusting. It makes me dream of getting away from it all and I start to think of my best beach vacations.

Let’s assume money and distance are no object (yeah we can all dream!) and going just for what would be my choice of best beach vacations - it has to be Hawaii.

There’s so much you can do and so many places you can do it! You can lay around on the beach all day beach relaxing; break that up with a long swim in the beautiful oceans, and then relax a bit more.

If you’re feeling more energetic, you could play some golf at one of the amazing courses and then indulge yourself in one of the spa treatments available. Hawaii boasts some of the best weather in the world - making it an easy choice for my best beach vacations destination.

So, having decided that Hawaii is my ultimate location for my best beach vacations - where would I go? Let’s look at the some of the options.

1) The Kona Village Resort

The Kona Village Resort has a good selection of activities including water-based activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, fishing, scuba diving, and glass bottom boat tours. If water is not your thing, you could always try volleyball or tennis.

2) Molokai Ranch and Lodge

Sited on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, you would stay in comfortable yet unique tents. Now, these are not boy-scout tents. Each tent forms a canvas bungalow and sits on wooden platforms. They provide a selection of queen size beds or twin beds, solar powered lights and a private bathroom with hot water showers. All the comforts of home!

Boredom is not an option at the Molokai Ranch and Lodge as it has over 54,000 acres, boasting seaside cliffs and very lush valleys. Outdoor activities include sea kayaking, cultural hikes, mountain biking, and even horseback rides. So, not just one of my best beach vacations - there is a lot more to do here as well besides laying on the beach.

3) Grand Wailea Resort and Spa

Long ago, a big swimming pool was enough to make guests happy. Nowadays, with so much competition to be the top of the list of best beach vacations, resorts compete with water activities such as lagoons, waterfalls, water slides, and even lazy rivers.

The Grand Wailea Resort has a range of facilities; including a massive Hibiscus pool (about 4,600 square foot) and a Canyon Activity pool which at 25,700 square foot and is great for the family and sure to mean they add it to their list of best beach vacations as well.

4) Kahala Mandarin Oriental

If being pampered gets a place to the top of your list of best beach vacations then the Kahala Mandarin Oriental is the place for you. Conveniently located near Honolulu and Waikiki Beach, you can choose from the spa, classes in scuba diving or to swim with the dolphins - always a favorite.

Whether you’re a new visitor to Hawaii or returning, it offers unique experiences that will guarantee it’s impossible not to count your trip as one of your best beach vacations ever.
