“Pink Palace” Delights, Family Fun at The Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki

My six year old daughter was thrilled to stay at the ‘Pink Palace’, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki, and by the way, so were we!!  After having tea & enjoying the gardens with her mother two years ago, she has been begging to stay, so what a great surprise!

So, finally, here she was, living the life of a Princess, though she told me to stop calling her ‘Your Royal Highness’.  The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is a delightful palace, more like your residence than a hotel, with beautiful architecture, furnishings & wonderful staff . My nine year old son was more than thrilled when checking in, as he was spoken to by his name. He said ‘This is the life!  It’s like in the movies.” We definitely recommend the Ocean Royal Beach Tower & sumptuous Royal Beach Club with its breath-taking views of the beach, sparkling ocean & iconic Diamond Head. Newly renovated, the hotel is beautiful, spic & span with luxury from top to bottom. The beds are oh-so-comfy with soft, feel good high-thread count sheets, snuggly down pillows & the best pull-up-around you comforters.  In addition to the relaxing “Pink Palace’ pool, there is the extravaganze pool, the Helumoa Playground, with water slide, waterways & two whirlpools the children (and adults) will want to enjoy. Lounge chairs in the pool were our favorites, particularly for lunch with just right mai tais. Waikiki is a also great place for paddle boarding & maybe some surfing.  Barney, one of Waikiki’s famous Beach Boys was as friendly as you could ever wish.  In the mornings, we woke to yummy & I mean yummy continental breakfasts with soft, flaky chocolate croissants, tasty baguettes, fruit & fresh coffee. How good was everything?  We changed our flights so we could stay another night. Frankly, we don’t care if we ever stay at a different hotel on Waikiki ever again.

Lucky we live Hawai’i! When you live in Hawai’i, you easily can have a wonderful get-away by heading to any number of incredible resorts for a few nights on a neighbor island as we did, or on your island.  No long flights. You are here, living the life that only is Hawai’i.  And with kamaaina savings, it is even more valuable. Hawai’i just is the ‘It’ place to be!
