Family beach vacations mean fun. But for parents, just planning these vacations means headache and arguments. Some of the children might want to go to a different location and stay in a different beach hotel than the others. Sometimes, the activities at one beach hotel are not suitable for the younger kids. Compromise is important for the success of family vacations but finding that perfect family beach hotel is too. Here are some examples of great family beach hotels in various locations:
Waikiki, Hawaii - “Ohana” or family is really important in Hawaii and it’s no surprise that they have lots of family-friendly beach hotels. At ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Tower, they have a “Kids Stay, Eat, Play for Free” program. This program allows kids 12 years old and younger to receive free admission and free meal when accompanied by a paying adult at the hotel’s restaurant and top attractions. Kids 17 years old and below can stay for free in their parent’s room. Lei making and hula dancing are some of the main family activities at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa. They also have fish feeding and sand-castle building for kids.

They also have daily nanny services (sometimes they offer this for free!) so that parents can enjoy their world-renowned massages without worrying about their younger kids. They also have special programs that let families have unlimited use their tennis courts and fitness centers.
