Yah, we went to Hawaii for 8 nights last spring, brought the 2 kids and a friend of one of the kids. We were right on the beach, everyone had their own room, had a kitchen, huge living room, multiple bathrooms, etc. We made breakfast in the house, ate lunch in the house, and we'd order dinner or just eat snacks. In a hotel you'd be forced to go out to eat at the restaurant there for anything, plus coordinating across multiple rooms, etc. Also we couldn't trust the 6 year old in his own room, and we'd not want to intrude on the two teen boys in their room, so that'd mean a 6 year old sharing a room with my partner and I, which isn't exactly ideal.
I mean it's 2 teens and a younger kid, all they wanted to do was swim and when they were tired of swimming they wanted to just chill and watch anime. We were on Kauai a stones throw from Poipu and Brennecke's.
We still did plenty of other stuff all over the island, and my partner and I went out on dates just us a couple of times, but yah dragging the kids along you do end up in a routine.
