Though Hawaii doesn’t have traditional all-inclusives, these resorts allow you to bundle options for a nearly all-inclusive experience.

Do all-inclusive Hawaii resorts exist? The answer is both yes and no. While you won’t find traditional all-inclusive resorts that package accommodations, activities, meals, and gratuities in one rate per person, you will find all-inclusive Hawaii family vacation packages at full-service resorts plus other incentives that allow you to have a nearly all-inclusive experience on the islands.

1. Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa
Oahu, Hawaii

Aulani’s nightly rates include so many activities and amenities that it feels all-inclusive
Okay, so Aulani isn’t technically a Hawaii all-inclusive resort. But this Disney resort on Oahu includes so many activities and amenities in its nightly rates that it certainly feels all-inclusive. Among the inclusions are nightly bonfires with storytelling, resort walking tours, a game room, ukulele lessons, Disney character experiences, kids’ clubs, and live entertainment. All told there are more than 30 included activities, enough to easily spend a week busy and happy without paying an extra dime on things to do.

 

Of course, access to this newly all-inclusive Hawaii resort’s beach, as well as its many countless pools, lazy rivers, and splash pad is included in the rate, as are the pool parties and dive-in movies hosted there. Like most Disney hotels and resorts, Aulani has thought of pretty much everything you might need or want on your Hawaii family vacation.

2. Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk
Oahu, Hawaii

Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk goes all in with free perks
Located steps from world-famous Waikiki Beach on Oahu, the all-suite Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk offers a different kind of nearly all-inclusive Hawaii experience that relies heavily on complimentary perks. Stock up on groceries at a local supermarket and cook lunch and dinner in your spacious suite with a fully equipped kitchen, but leave breakfast to the resort—that’s complimentary and includes a bountiful buffet each morning. The hotel also hosts evening receptions with complimentary snacks, beverages, and often live entertainment.

 

Other complimentary all-inclusive-like perks include the Grand Lanai, where you’ll find a heated pool, whirlpool spa, children’s pool, and sun deck with cabanas and day beds for lounging. Be sure to inquire about the hotel’s specials before you book, too—it regularly offers packages, many of them designed for specifically for families, such as the “Another Night on Us” promotion that gives you a fifth night free when you book five nights.

 

3. Royal Kona Resort
Big Island, Hawaii

Royal Kona Hawaii All Inclusive Resort offers airfare-inclusive vacation packages.

4. Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows
Maui, Hawaii

Royal Kona Resort’s sister property on Maui, Royal Lahaina Resort is not a traditional all-inclusive resort, but like the Royal Kona Resort it sometimes offers an air-inclusive package with discounts on both flights and room rates among its special offers.

Other money-saving promotions at this Hawaii resort that run at varying times throughout the year include 10 percent off any room or suite when you book 45 days in advance; a fifth night free plus a resort credit that can be used for spa or beach activities; and a “Royal Experience” package that nets you daily breakfast, luau tickets, and a resort credit for activities.
