We’re looking to visit Hawaii, but favor small bungalows & places to giant hotels and resorts. Any ideas of islands/places to visit & stay that fit a smaller/more nature friendly trip?

We are planning a family vacation to Hawaii and aren’t sure which island to stay on or what accommodations

We are traveling with 3 families. Our parents (70), sister and brother in law (early 30’s) and us ( late 30’s, 18, 14, and 10 years old). We are not sure which island would be best to stay on so that there is something for everyone. Short hikes, waterfalls, and beach are 3 activities that keep coming up…and we don’t know if a resort or a condo/rental house would be the best option. We’d love input from anyone regarding a family friendly vacation and where might be the best place to call “home” for a week.

KathyM asked:


I am currently 15-weeks pregnant and in desperate need of a vacation, preferrably one week anywhere in late February to late March (before my 3rd trimester). I want somewhere on beach where I can just sit and relax, but I also need to make sure all risks are minimal (ie. hep A/B/C, etc.). I’ve checked on Expedia and the only place I can find is Hawaii, but most of the hotels are a walk away from the beach. I want something that’s beachfront. Any suggestions?

My husband and I can stay in one of several resorts in Hawaii for 1 week. But we don’t know anyting about the islands in Hawaii. Which one should we pick? We won’t be able to do any traveling (from island to island) because we can only pick 1 resort for 1 week. Please help with any recommendations you may have. Thanks!!!
