Dine around the pool at Swifty’s – order the famous Billionaire’s Bacon and Meatloaf. Or, grab a quick bite from Pink Paradise Café for a mug of espresso and fresh-baked pastry. And for the kid (or Ken) in you, don’t miss out on the fun bingo and trivia nights.

5. The Royal Hawaiian – Waikiki Beach, Hawaii: A Luau in Pink Paradise

Aloha, Barbie girls and Kens! The Royal Hawaiian, known as the Pink Palace of the Pacific, invites you to a Hawaiian luau experience on Waikiki.

Unwind by the Malulani Pool, make a splash on the water slide at the Helumoa Playground, or soak up the sun on the beach.

Of course, you can’t miss out on delicious Hawaiian flavors. Grab a stack of the signature Royal Hawaiian Pink Palace Pancakes served with toasted coconut and haupia sauce (sweet and salty coconut syrup). Or, experience a traditional Hawaiian luau at Ahaaina, where hula dancers entertain, and traditional dishes like poi and lomi salmon and kalua pork are served.
