Brandon's timeshare at Marriott Beach Club was an excellent location for families. There is a small fridge, toaster, microwave, rice cooker in the unit. No room service or cleaning service though. There are 3 pools and the lagoon, which is phenomenal. I love all the excercise classes. Transportation and dining is super expensive so I recommend stopping by a grocercy store on your way from the airport to buy some meat because there are soooo many fancy grills around....but keep in mind the fridge is small so maybe a buy a cooler and ice too. you may have to throw the cooler away at the end but it's worth it. for a family of 3 EVERY meal was $100 or more in the resteraunts. also consider having pizza delivered to offset costs. Also found out there is a bus that will take you to waikiki so you can explore one day. Uber prices are insane sometimes. I did not find a hiking trail nearby thru my Altrails app, BUT there is a trail nearby! ask. It got really crowded on the weekend so go during the week. You will have to get up at 5:30AM to "reserve" pool chairs by the family pools, by placing you belongings on them. But if you dont check on them by 7, they will take your stuff to lost and found and if you have inflatables, they throw them away so use their towels to reserve the spot. There is an awsome slide that my daughter couldnt get enough of and a "waterfall" that my sister said gave her a free massage:) Book Luas and massages WAY in advance. The Luas are booked out to mid July!
