"It’s all about aquatic thrills here: the 25,700-square-foot Wailea Canyon Activity Pool cascades over six levels into nine smaller pools, with seven waterslides—including the three-story, 262-foot Lava Tube that rockets riders up to 22 mph—plus six waterfalls, a lazy river, rope swing, three hot tubs, a sandy-bottom area for littles, and a swim-up bar, with crescent-shaped Wailea Beach just steps beyond. The keiki club packs days with Hawaiian games, nature walks, arts and crafts, and lei-making for ages 5 to 12, and personalized in-room childcare even offers video conference check-ins with parents. When it’s time to dry off, The Cave beckons with billiards, darts, table tennis, board games, and curated VR experiences." - Catherine Toth Fox
