Romantic Hawaii with Kids at Four Seasons

Where: 100 Ka'upulehu Dr., Kailua-Kona [map], Island of Hawaii, HI, United States, 96740

The NY Times tested the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on the Big Island of Hawaii as both a family- friendly getaway and a romantic escape.

Starting with the kids, they can be sent away to the hotel's Kids for All Seasons day camp from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for ages 5-12. Kids under 5 can attend so long as there's a nanny in tow which is available from the resort fo $16 an hour.

While the kids are away explore the hotel's 32-acres which include five swimming pools, tennis, golf and a spa. Although, the beaches might be out of the option:

But don't come for the beaches. Lava rock, shallow reefs and prickly sea urchins persuade most guests to confine their swimming to a small protected lagoon and to King's Pond, carved from lava rock and stocked with 3,500 fish.

As with every Four Seasons prices are jacked (rooms start at $625 and ocean views cost more) so be prepared to drop lots of cash with or without kids.
