Hotels in Hawaii

amanda asked:


My boyfriend and myself have planned a vacation to Hawaii for May 2010 for ourselves and our year and a half old son. We have not booked anything and wonder what islands and hotels offer more kid-friendly services. We were hoping to learn to surf, but we would have to learn individually at different times so one of us can stay with our son. We want to have a good vacation and experience anything Hawaii has to offer, but something our son can enjoy too. I’ve checked the normal vacation deal sites, and they have a lot, but it’s mainly for adults.

   If you go to the Dole pineapple Pavillian, they have a miniture train ride that takes you around the pineapple fields.

   Right in Waikiki is the Zoo.

   In the middle of the International Marketplace at the food court, they have a free Hawaiian show at around 7pm or so, almost every night. The entrance is next to the Beachcomber Hotel.

   David gave you some excellent choices, just so you know most of the nice Hotels and Resorts offer Keiki Camp (Kiddie Camp/Day Care), you may want to look into that option if you are so inclined to have a day or two with just your husband and yourself…

   There is a lot for families to do though a toddler can be a little more challenging. Here are some resort suggestions for you that have toddler pools, activities and baby sitting services so you can both learn to surf together (do you really want to go seperately?)

   Also if you go to Oahu there is a water park, great zoo, aquarium, sea life park and more that are great choices for a small child! Wakiki is great with a sheltered area for small children, and a wonderful break to learn to surf on!

   Oahu – (my favorite Island and choice for resort)

   there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it’s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online… otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

   There are lots of fun things for a child in Hawaii. The Dole Plantation, though a bit of a tourist trap, is very enjoyable. There is a place called Valley of the Temples on the Eastern or Windward side of the island and it has a replica of the Byodo-In Temple. There is a huge Koi pond and the kids can feed the fish and ring the giant gong. There is a resort here called Ko’Olina and they have four lagoons which are easy for a child to learn to swim in. The water is generally warmer too and you do not have to be a resort guest to swim there, as there are no private beaches in Hawaii. Waikiki is expensive and can wear you out. It’s mostly shopping..UNLESS you want to learn to surf. You can take surfing lessons in Waikiki and I’m sure while one of you is learning the other can hang out at the beach. I also recommend some kind of portable pop up shelter to keep the little one out of the sun because it is brutal here! The Big Island is very laid back too but the beaches on Oahu are better. You might also try the Polynesian Cultural Center. There is a huge luau and live performances. My friends brought her little girl here and she loved the beach and the shaved ice the best =) And rent a car, staying down in Waikiki is boring!
