Find out why The Sheraton Waikiki offers great Hawaii family vacations.
Aulani offers such a lot with your stay. It really is almost a complete vacation in itself. Animated characters adorn the grounds for your kids to interact with. Down at the beach, the kids can swim, snorkel, kayak, paddleboard and then make it back for some for some dancing with Goofy at a resort pool.
At the kids club, kids from 3-12 are busy creating great artwork while some of the older kids are off on a guided exploration, catamaran or horseback ride. While the kids are busy, mom and dad can relax at the spa or golf course.
