Top family hotels in Oahu
For some travelers, Oahu is synonymous with the high-rise hotels lining beautiful Waikiki Beach, but there are family-friendly resorts all over the island. The good news is that no matter where you stay, a vacation in Oahu tends to be less expensive than on other Hawaiian islands.
Travelers in search of beachfront luxury and a touch of history in the center of Waikiki.
Why stay here:
Waikiki's first luxury hotel, Moana Surfrider is located just steps from the beach and within walking distance of the area's popular shopping, dining and entertainment.
Best way to book:
Book directly with Marriott to earn or redeem Marriott Bonvoy points and enjoy any elite benefits.
Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa is directly on Waikiki Beach and within walking distance of the city’s open-air shopping and dining center, the Waikiki Beach Walk. While we encourage you to explore beyond just Waikiki, this can be the perfect location if you are looking for a beach retreat on Oahu that’s not too far from the excitement of the city.
The hotel opened in 1901, and its history shines through in the Victorian-era architecture and select guest rooms inspired by the hotel’s opening-day design and decor. The hotel has 793 rooms total, including 46 suites, divided among the historic Banyan Wing, the beach-adjacent Diamond Wing and the larger, modern rooms in the Tower Wing.
The hotel’s pool is simple compared to some of the large pool complexes in Hawaii, but it has fantastic beach views. You can easily pop back and forth between the pool and the beach all day long, especially if you rent a poolside cabana or an umbrella and chairs on the sandy beach. You can also take to the ocean on a surfboard, stand-up paddleboard or bodyboard. Outrigger canoe charters and surf lessons are also available. Guests can book all of these at the Aloha Beach Services kiosk at the hotel.
The Moana Surfrider also has a spa, beachfront yoga classes, historical tours, hula classes and more. Also, your family will never go hungry with the hotel’s five restaurants and a handful of lounges and cafes.
Rates at Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa start at around $300 or 56,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.
Kids and kids-at-heart ready to dive into all the Disneyfied wonders of Oahu.
Why stay here:

Best way to book:
Book directly for the best rates and packages, or through your favorite credit card travel portal.
If your family loves Hawaii and visiting Disney, you’ll likely enjoy a stay at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa on Oahu. Even if you aren’t a “Disney family,” you can still love this resort.
For example, you can spend your time meeting Disney characters, eating Mickey waffles and participating in activities like animation classes and watching outdoor Disney movie screenings. Or, you can just lounge by the beach, snorkel in the hotel’s private lagoon and participate in fun and educational activities like lei making and hula lessons led by local artisans and cultural experts.
Kids ages 4 to 12 can visit the 5,200-square-foot kids club called Aunty’s Beach House. Games, arts and crafts, movies and surprise character experiences are included in the cost of your stay, with some premium activities available for an additional fee.
The resort also has six pools with waterslides and hidden grottos, a full-service spa, two restaurants, three lounges and quick-service options when you are out and about by the beach or the pool. Guest rooms range from standard one-king or two-queen rooms to villas that sleep up to 12 guests with as many as three bedrooms.
Pro tip: You can even book some of the room types by renting Disney Vacation Club points for even less than the cost of booking directly with Disney with cash.
Rates at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa start at around $569 per night when booked with cash or from about $336 if booked with rented points from a site like David’s Vacation Club.
Marriott loyalists in search of freewheeling access to nearly 1,300 pristine acres of paradise on Oahu's North Shore.

Best way to book:

Families visiting the resort can experience the true essence of Hawaii with beachfront horse and pony rides, surf lessons, a “surfing with dogs” experience (yes, you read that right), mermaid lessons, canoe tours, scavenger hunts and more. Some experiences require an additional fee.
The hotel’s pool deck has large family-size cabanas available to rent, giving parents a comfortable place to lounge and kids a shady spot to relax before hopping back in the main pool or the kids' pool with waterslides.
Guest rooms are bright and airy, with ocean views and large murals depicting beachy scenes. Suites and oceanfront bungalows are also available.
Rates at Turtle Bay Resort start at around $707 per night.

The resort has five outdoor pools, waterslides and a saltwater lagoon for swimming, paddleboarding and other water activities. If you can pull your kids away from the water, the hotel also holds hula and lei-making lessons, fitness classes, fish feeding and luau feasts with traditional Samoan, Tahitian and Hawaiian dancing every Sunday through Thursday.
In addition to the lagoonside luau feast, Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort has nearly 20 restaurants, cafes and lounges, so you are never too far from your next meal or drink.
Rates at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort start at around $250 or 70,000 Hilton Honors points per night.

You can choose to spend your day swimming in the massive three-tiered, heated pool with a kids' splash area, hiking the area’s coastal trails, surfing or paddleboarding at one of six nearby bays and beaches, or participating in cultural programming, including a nightly sunset ceremony, hula lessons, origami classes and more.

Top family hotels in Kauai
Kauai, known as the Garden Island, offers families the best of the beach and the island's emerald green peaks and valleys. It takes only about an hour to drive from the south end of the island to the north end, giving families the opportunity to see favorite landmarks like Hanalei Bay, Waimea Canyon State Park and Kalalau Lookout, depending on where you stay.
On Kauai’s beautiful, tranquil north shore, The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas is just as serene as its island location. The resort grounds more than live up to the island’s “Garden Isle” nickname, with towering palm trees dotting the landscape and colorful tropical foliage around every turn.
The resort has a long list of family-friendly amenities, including lei making, fish feeding, a children’s pool with splash features and a mini waterslide, a larger cliffside plunge pool, multiple dining options and a grab-and-go market with snacks, Starbucks coffee and essentials you may have forgotten at home, like diapers or sunscreen.
Because of the resort’s cliffside location, there is no direct beach access, but beautiful Hanalei Bay is only a 10-minute drive away.
Unlike most resorts, The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas does not charge resort fees and offers complimentary internet access. Guest room sizes range from studio villas to two-bedroom villas, and all suites have separate sleeping and living areas and private outdoor lanais.
