August 15, 2008, Newsletter Issue #56: United States Child-friendly Luxury Hotel

Tip of the Week

The Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa is as much a water theme park as a hotel. It is a dream of a child-friendly luxury resort. It has nine pools connected by a river with a current, six waterfalls, five waterslides and a water elevator! The kid’s club, called Camp Grande, offers full day, half-day and night sessions for kids ages 5-12. Besides visiting the pools, kids do crafts, go on nature walks and have a 20,000-square-foot facility packed with activities. Good luck getting your kid to leave! The resort has made the Conde Nast Traveler Gold List several years running.

Dining: Kids will love just trying to say the name of this restaurant that floats on a lagoon: The Humuhumunukunukuapua. Seafood is the order of the day here.

Spa: Spa Grande is well, very grande. And an unusual offering, spa treatments for kids, is offered. Take your child for their first massage in the family suites (everyone wars bathing suits) or for a pedicure or manicure.

Deluxe Touch: The 40-acre property is simply over the top. The beautifully manicured grounds, with artwork by Léger, Warhol, Picasso, Botero and Hawaiian artists, is a delight to walk through. The pools are amazing and there’s even a water elevator to take you to the top of a water slide!
