Question about winter weather

Q:

My husband and I are trying to decide which island to stay on for Christmas. Part of my decision is based on which island is normally the warmest this time of year. We have already been to Oahu and Maui, and wouldn't mind trying Kauai (Hyatt Regency) or Hawaii the Fairmont Orchid. if we stay in Oahu it would be at the JW Marriot Ihilani, or Maui would be the Fairmont Kea Lani.

Please let me know what you would recommend, also what is the most "family friendly" We will have our children with us ages range from 2 years old to 11 years.
Thank you!!!

Well, in the winter it's not so much which *island* would be the warmest, it's which *side* of the island. Most of the islands will have similar climates all year long, but each side of each island can be like it's own micro climate. In the winter, just stay on the west or south side of any island, and you should be ok.

Personally, I would recommend you try Kauai. All the hotels you mentioned are in dry, warm areas, but between the Fairmont and the Hyatt, I think your kids will have more fun at the Hyatt. (On that note, when you do head to the Big Island, try the Hilton - it's fantastic for kids).

Have a great time on your vacation! Lisa
