Hale Koa Military Family Vacation: The Best Pool, Waikiki Beach, Paia Fish Market, and Tropics Bar

The Hale Koa Military Hotel is located right on Waikiki Beach, Honolulu in Hawaii, and was built to offer active duty, retirees, and their families a quality resort for a fraction of the price. I mean we are talking serious discounts compared with other resorts in Hawaii. It makes it very affordable for our family to vacation in Hawaii and we are grateful for it.

On this trip, my mother came out to visit us on the island. We are currently stationed on Oahu at Schofield Barracks for the next few years. We love living out here in Hawaii but it's nice every once in a while to enjoy an amazing hotel and what's better than a staycation at the Hale Koa.

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
