I’m wanting to take the family on a trip to Hawaii or the Bahamas next year. We will have a 5yo and a 10yo with us. I want to hear some input on the two places. I went to the Bahamas when I was kid but o really don’t remember much from the trip except I had fun. I want to know the best places to stay that are kid friendly and that won’t break the bank. My budget for the trip is $6000 or less. Thanks for your help!

Never been to Hawaii but I know a lot about the Bahamas, particularly Bimini and mostly from a fishing standpoint.
Bimini is really not a great place to take kids. Nassau is! They got some cool stuff there and the poeple are great throughout the Islands.
I'm gonna bet Hawaii is a better option with the kids if the Rona thing finally settles down.
RIght now the Bahamas are basically closed to tourists.

Done both, I'd say go to Maui. There are some good options for VRBO for a family of 4 that are not too expensive. You won't run out of things to do. There are numerous different beaches, all with different feel, hiking, waterfalls, aquarium, road to Hana, golf, etc. It is much more diverse that the Bahamas. I love the Bahamas, but I'd pick Maui over the Bahamas, especially coming from Wa State

Not sure if still goes on, but several years ago, found out it was cheaper to fly to Vegas and then Vegas to Hawaii. I did an overnight because plane had A/C problem and almost everybody on plane lived in Hawaii. Said it was cheap trip.

Almost any place in the Caribbean is as beautiful as Hawaii and much cheaper. 6K is not enough, especially like Maui.
The only trade off to me is no one in Hawaii is always trying to sell you something. Hawaii is not as impoverished as a lot of the Caribbean islands. 6K will take you much further in the Caribbean.
