Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

An oceanarium in the lobby, so kids get fish to watch every time you walk in or out.

Elephants and komodo dragons, with a keiki zoo inside for the smallest kids.

Two walls out into the ocean make a calm swimming enclosure in the middle of the beach, so small kids can paddle away from the surf.

Farmers market on the main beach strip, with fruit, snacks and food stalls.

Big hotel across the road from the beach, with spacious rooms and suites.

Historic hotel on the beach around a big banyan tree, with roomy suites.
