Though the adults-only Waitui wing and pool was under construction at the time of research, and the magnificent restaurant Salt (mains $36 to $69) does breakfast sans-kids, this resort is beloved by children and their fleeing-reality parents. Family rooms have bunk beds and Playstations, a waterslide splashes down into a free-form pool, and littlies can serve themselves from the kids' height Lagoon buffet.
