Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club

If you are looking to avoid large, noisy and often overcrowded mega-resorts, then make sure you head to Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club. What you won’t find here are screaming children and long lines. Instead, you will find snorkel boats and sunset cruises, four different pools with two of them being extremely kid-friendly, and four man-made lagoons perfect for young ones wanting to snorkel. Most of the rooms here are apartment style which means a full kitchen, a helpful addition for kid-toting parents. And as an added bonus, cribs are provided free of charge. They also provide multi-room villas which are great if you happen to have older kids that prefer to stay in their own rooms. One of the coolest features about this resort is the MAZE huts, which are actually poolside huts that provide everything from towels and swim diapers to shave ice to make your day run as smoothly as possible. Kid-friendly menus, childcare options and a place where you don’t feel overrun by other guests make this resort one awesome choice in Hawaii. Head here if your kids are a bit older and can appreciate the fine things in life.
