We are travelling to Honolulu following a hectic 2 weeks in LA and Las Vegas. Family of 7 from Australia - made up of 9 year old, 2 x 12 year olds, 14 year old and 16 year old. None of us have ever been to Hawaii. Our initial thoughts were Waikiki - based on having "older" children - we think this will appeal more to them. However we stumbled upon Aulani - and having travelled to Florida years ago with the younger children and using DVC for our stay - I thought I would look into Aulani.
We have a total of 7 nights in Honolulu. Do we do a split stay - say 3 nights in Waikiki then 4 nights in Aulani? We want the Hawaii portion of the trip to be relaxing - which means we want the kids occupied and not "bored" .. so the adults can have some downtime.
Is Aulani going to be the best option for our children and their ages... or are there other resorts that would suit our kids ages better but also cater to adults only pool etc.
Any advice/experiences welcome.....
