Hawaiian Family

You can't beat Hawaii for a family vacation!  I do have to say that it takes effort to get to Hawaii, especially if you are traveling with children.  The closest flight (from the west coast) is about 5 1/2 hours so you are on the plane with your children for a while.  But once you arrive in paradise it is worth it! 

Waikiki is the traditional touristy spot, but not worth throwing out of the itinerary!  When I visit Hawaii I love making it part of my stop.  It brings old Hawaii into a newer city that is vibrant and lively.  The beach itself has a lot to offer as far as beauty with the view of Diamond Head and all of the water sports.  Time for a surf lesson!

 

Kauai is an island of beauty and also offers the warmth of Hawaiian hospitality!  The island is perfect for relaxing with your kids on the beach, a spectacular pool or finding adventure around every corner. 

Staying in Poipu you are sure to always have a sunny day and a beautiful sunset!

 

The big island of Hawaii offers the most variety from all of the islands and if you are looking for a resort to stay at the Hilton Waikoloa Village is amazing and perfect for anyone.  It is a village and it has a world to offer.  The property itself is so big there is a tram and a boat that travel through the resort.  And the architecture is so big it reminds me of something that would be in Rome or Las Vegas.  It offers something for everyone!

There is a full ocean lagoon that flows out to the beautiful Hawaiian waters with water sports and swimming.  You can snorkel in calm waters or eat in one of the many restaurants around the waters edge. 

The variety of entertainment and food is out of this world!  There are so many different restaurants and bars around the property and they all have a different feel.  From 5 star to sitting by the pool and eating  sandwich you will be pleased with the options.  There is no need to leave the property and go find somewhere new to eat and try.  There is also live music around every corner.  The luau is a must see.  It is a traditional Hawaiian luau and it is cool because it tells the story of Hawaii.  The food is also amazing with fresh fish, yummy desserts and traditional Hawaiian food.

Dolphin Quest is one of the coolest things about staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village!  The dolphins are on the property for everyone to look at and enjoy!  You can book different packages to swim and interact with them.  It is truly magical and amazing to have you child interact with such sweet creatures.  You feel as though you are part of their world. 

 

The pools at this amazing village are endless!  There are kiddie pools, water slides, adult areas, waterfalls, it is a water wonderland!  The property is located on the rocky beach but offers soft sand at the lagoon and at the kiddie pool.  All of the pools offer a bar service for parents enjoying their stay while watching their child swim!

I can't say enough great and amazing things about the Hilton Waikoloa Village!  Traveling to the Big Island offers waterfalls, beaches, culture, volcanoes, black sand, history, The Kona Brewing Company (which is amazing!), and all the beauty of what Hawaii is can be found on this island.  This resort is what the Big Island is all about.  You don't have to ever leave the resort if you don't want to.  You can make it as relaxing or as exciting as you want.  It is truly a village and it is worth the trip!  Visit Hawaii and visit the Hilton Waikoloa Village and experience the magic of Hawaii!

The Hilton Waikoloa Village, HI

The Hilton Waikoloa Village can be described as nothing less than the perfect vacation destination. Located a little bit north of the Kona Coast on the “Big Island” of Hawaii, the Hilton is a destination of its own. Set in such pristine beauty and lush scenery, it is a true paradise for anyone that visits. The hotel itself is so big that it is really two hotels put onto the same property. Now don’t let that drive you away, the building doesn’t get much taller than six floors and there is a beautiful view no matter what room or floor you are on. There is a tram that goes around the whole property to make it convenient for people that don’t feel like doing the walk. There is also a boat service that makes for a relaxing ride to get from one end of the hotel to the other. There are a number of restaurants scattered throughout the property, ranging from fine dining to poolside take out and no matter where you eat you won’t be disappointed with the fresh and delicious food that is prepared. The resort wouldn’t be complete without all of the beautiful swimming pools, each with a gorgeous view of the ocean and a beautiful set up. From a kiddie pool built on sand, a pool with tropical waterfalls and slides, and of course a lazy river, you never want to leave the poolside fun. That is until you visit the salt water lagoon that freshly flows in from the ocean, filled with sea turtles, tropical fish and much more sea life. The recreation activities available for this area consist of all different types of rentals such as paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel equipment and more. There is so much to be explored at the Hilton Waikoloa Village!



The Hilton Waikoloa is really the perfect destination for anyone. It can be beautiful and romantic getaway, or honeymoon. There is even a chapel on the grounds for the special destination wedding. It is an awesome family spot because there is so much entertainment for all ages to enjoy, with the luau being a family must! It is a hotel where the golf course is one of the best ever played and the spa offers nothing but relaxation and harmony. For someone planning a convention or business trip of some kind, all of the necessities are available and ready. The customer service is top notch, which is to be expected with the Hilton name. It would be easy for anyone to go to Hilton Waikoloa for a week and not want to ever leave the property. The island of Hawaii offers so much exploration and beauty from the waterfalls, to the volcanoes, up through the Kona coast, staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village would be nothing short of a perfect vacation. This is a luxury hotel, but even if you are a bargain traveler you would be very excited with all of the amenities that they offer. The Hilton Waikoloa Village is a true paradise that is fit to meet everyone’s needs. It is truly a special place to visit.

Luau in Poipu.. The Hyatt

One thing every vacationer must do while visiting the Hawaiian Islands is participating in a luau. While visiting the island of Kauai, I had the pleasure and enjoyment of going to a luau at the Hyatt Hotel in Poipu. Visiting the hotel itself is a great treat because the grounds alone are worth seeing. It is very lush and green with beautiful flowers everywhere and there are a dozen of spots to take the perfect picture. The luau grounds are set on a lawn with the beach directly behind the stage and entertainment. This sets the scene for a very picturesque and entertaining show; not to mention that there are beautiful pools surrounding the area which make you feel like you are secluded from the rest of the hotel. The setting itself sets a very high precedence for what the event will unfold. Before the show starts there is a lot of entertainment to enjoy and when you enter the luau you are given a choice of a Mai Tai or local beer! The band plays music, children and adults can learn traditional Hawaiian dances, vendors are selling jewelry, and there are Hawaiian tattoo artists! It is a very fun atmosphere which is preceded by delicious food!
The food is amazing. Any and every kind of Hawaiian food is prepared. From the Poi to the smoked pig that is brought in by performers of the luau, it is an impressive spread that exceeded my expectations. Going to an event at a corporate hotel, you don’t expect perfectly prepared and authentic food, but it was a pleasant surprise when trying all of the dishes. I have to say that the island style steak was definitely one of my favorites! Following the delicious entrée dishes are an overwhelming selection of delicious desserts that you can’t have just one of! There is also plenty for children to find appetizing, which always helps when you are trying to enjoy yourself with little ones around. Enjoying the luau also means the adults get to enjoy the selected unlimited drink list, including the fresh mai tai’s and yummy Kona Longboard Beer! After everyone has enjoyed most of the meal the show starts. Top performing dancers enter the stage to join the band for a beautiful display of Polynesian stories through the hula. The girls are beautiful and the men really know how to put on a show. The show takes the audience through each of the South Pacific Islands and tells a story about each island. It really is a special event. After enjoying the show the dancers allow anyone from the audience to take pictures with them. It is a beautiful and memorable event for families and friends to enjoy together, and the Hyatt PoiPu Beach puts on a top notch show! Everything about the evening is fun and beautiful and I don’t think that anyone would have a complaint in the world!
