Hilton Hawaiian Village Named Among Parents Magazine’s Best Beach Resorts for Families
The Hilton Hawaiian Village® Beach Resort & Spa has claimed the seventh spot in Parents Magazine’s “10 Best Beach Resorts for Families on a Budget.” It is the only Hawaii property to be included in the Top 10. In its May 2008 issue, the magazine calls the resort a “family favorite” citing its numerous pools – including one just for kids, free snorkeling lessons, hula lessons, a renowned wildlife collection, and the Rainbow Express Keiki Club.
In putting together the article, which is part of the magazine’s ongoing “10-best” series, Parents Magazine staff evaluated more than 200 beach resorts in the United States and Caribbean based on room rates and other resort costs, the quality of the supervised children’s program, the variety of family activities, pool and beach area, and many other factors that are important to moms and dads.
With a circulation of 2.2 million, Parents Magazine advocates for the American family, providing information for raising happy and healthy children. “Our winners are practically rolling out the red carpet for families on a tight budget,” says Sally Lee, editor in chief. “Great kids’ programs and perks are no longer exclusive to resorts with high price tags.”
“Being selected by Parents Magazine as one of the top resorts for families is a tremendous honor,” says Jon Conching, vice president, sales and marketing, Hilton Hawaii. “Families represent a major segment of our guests, and the selection is a terrific endorsement of the great experience families enjoy at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.”
Awards of Distinction
The Hilton Hawaiian Village® Beach Resort & Spa on Waikiki's best beach has been the proud recipient of a number of prestigious awards over the years. The following is a list of recent or especially long-running awards honoring the Village.
