Property
Magnificent property set on miles of sandy beach. Adult activities abound -golf, spa, tennis etc – but for adults with children, this is paradise. Huge kiddie pool (toys included) right on the beach. Lounges for the parents, cocktails delivered as well as free ice cream, face spray and various other niceties. Choice of 4 restaurants on or overlooking the beach. Kids club available year round.

Location
If you need to go out of the resort, the Big Island is full of interesting spots. The Kailua-Kona coast has the best weather out of all the islands, but the other side of the island is one of the wettest places in the world. The rain forest is worth a visit too (take insect repellent). The volcano is about 4 hours away by car. You can go by helicopter if time is an issue (and money is not!).

Sleeps
2-7.

Highlights
Cooking s’mores on the beach under the stars (everything provided by the hotel). Miles of pathways along a beautiful coastline. Gorgeous huge tropical snorkeling pool with glass bottom rafts for the kids. Snorkels provided.  Feeding the fish and manta rays daily.

Good to know
This is paradise, and it will cost you. So it is good to know that kids 4 and under eat free. Don’t rent a car. The few times you will want to leave the resort, the hotel can organize a ride for you.
