Q:
Which properties provide programs and activities for children?
A: There are so many throughout the state it's impossible to
list them all. Family is more important than anything else in
Hawaii, and we extend that attitude to our guests. Our hotels
know that when you are traveling with your children or grandchildren
you need extra assistance to make the vacation work out for
everyone. As a result, programs for children and teens are plentiful,
professional, and well-planned. Consult your local travel counselor
or a Hawaii Destination Specialist for more information on programs
at individual properties.
