Hi all! :9

[Quakerfriend]

Can anyone tell me about the Hyatt, on Waikiki? or Hyatt, Kauai? or Maui?

I'm wondering how they compare. We will be looking for fun things for the kids to do like hikes etc.

1. We actually had a staff training at the Hyatt Waikiki

it is directly across the street from the beach where you rent surfboards and/or sign up for surf lessons, etc. Its ground floor consists of a fancy shopping arcade, and there are several fine dining restaurants on site; Ciao Mein (he he) is considered one of the city's finest, serving, as if you hadn't guessed, Euro/Asian fusion cuisine. Other more family-friendly options are just blocks away, as Waikiki is basically a busy, crowded city that happens to adjoin a beach on one side.

There are all kinds of tour operators who will take you to all the other activities, including hikes (there are several popular ones right above town!), Hanauma Bay (collapsed volcanic crater where you wade right in and interact with tropical fish), Sea Life Park (now with dolphin interactions as well as Sea World-type shows), and all the other brazillion things you'll see in brochures in the lobby, your room, and all up and down the street.
