The Bar/Lounge at Ho'olei at Grand Wailea

"But for kids, all that really matters is the resort’s unrivaled pool: an aquatic playground with nine separate swimming pools connected by slides, waterfalls, caves, rapids, a Tarzan swing, a swim-up bar, a baby beach, and a water elevator that shuttles swimmers back to the top"

""Truly a trip to paradise", this "sprawling", "first-class" 780-room resort on Wailea Beach appeals to everyone "from honeymooners to families" with "a pool to fit every need" ("from waterslides to water bars") and activities like "snorkeling with sea turtles" or "whale watching from your lanai" ("nicely appointed" rooms have "enormous" marble bathrooms); detractors say it's "overpriced" and liken the kid-centric chaos to "staying inside a pinball machine", but most agree "there's no better place" for a "wonderful" family vacation"

"Each evening, guests can take in a daily conch-shell-blowing and torch-lighting ceremony at the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a lounge"
