Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa

Let’s talk about Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa. Set on 4,000 acres just outside Austin, this Hill Country escapes offers spacious rooms and an Omni Kids program that keeps little ones busy. Between three pools (one blissfully adults-only), a nature trail, a restorative spa, and nine dining spots — including a coffee shop for that early wake-up, there’s something for everyone. When you peel the kids away, downtown Austin's live-music scene and happening downtown is a quick drive out.

Hyatt Regency SOMA

OUTRIGGER Honua Kai Resort & Spa

OUTRIGGER Honua Kai Resort & Spa on Maui’s Kaanapali North Beach gives parents the fighting chance to feel like they are on vacation too. The resort offers much-needed breathing room with spacious, condo-style accommodations featuring full kitchens and private lanais. Three acres of aquatic playground with waterslides, caves, and a kids' pool keep the little ones occupied for hours, while five hot tubs and available poolside cabanas give the grown-ups their own win. The resort backs right onto a long stretch of golden-sand beach — a sandy-bottomed area better suited for swimming on the south side and coral reefs for snorkeling on the north — so everyone gets their preferred flavor of ocean. When dinner rolls around, Duke's Beach House serves up Hawaiian-influenced seafood with live music, which means someone else is cooking.
