The Hawaiian Islands, from the white-sand beaches to the coconut daiquiris to the beach-front hotels, are the perfect backdrop for any family vacation. And when traveling with an entire family, convenience and cost-effectiveness are important considerations, thus making an all-inclusive resort particularly attractive.
Unfortunately, the Hawaiian islands claim only one all-inclusive resort: Kona Village Resort on the Kohala Coast. Families who don't find Kona their cup of tea might want to try an all-inclusive Hawaiian vacation package.
Boasting itself as Hawaii's only all-inclusive resort, Kona Village could be a great vacation option for your family. Located on the Kahlue Coast in Kailua Kona Hawaii, Kona's all-inclusive resort packages range from short stays in village suites to extended vacations in one of their private bungalows.
Depending on your selected package, your family will receive daily breakfasts, coffee and beverage assortments in-room, ocean-side meals, and a variety of complimentary activities ranging from snorkeling and canoeing to star gazing with a world-class astronomer. Round trip transportation to and from the Kona International Airport is included with all packages.
