So glad you had a great time!
I first took my kids without my husband when they were 4 and 6 (they also had been several times by then!), and stayed at the AKL. It was spectacular.
I also like the Swan, especially for the location, and have been a few times with my kids (and no husband, poor guy has to work). Matter of fact, for every 2 times I've been without him, he's come maybe once? I just love how easy it all is there with kids!
