For summer travel, Hawaii doesn't have the dramatic price-drops of the Caribbean; but then, it also doesn't have the hurricanes.

Hawaii also doesn't have Caribbean-style all-inclusives. Instead, it has its own beauty and mystique. Many resorts are upscale, and welcome families with kids' camps. Scroll down for suggestions.
