"An ambitious $160 million refresh unlocked The Valley Alley, a 10,000-square-foot arcade anchored by TopGolf Swing Suites and loaded with duckpin bowling, modern and classic arcade and VR games, claw machines, and a bar-and-lounge that serves food—the first venue of its kind in Hawaii. Outside, the Kawaiola Aquatic Playground spans 87,000 square feet across six pools overlooking golden Kāʻanapali Beach; the 270-foot waterslide is a nonnegotiable, and active families can add surfing lessons or a ride in a traditional outrigger canoe to the mix. Don’t miss the resident flamingos strutting around the property." - Catherine Toth Fox
