Have read hundreds of posts and not clear on what tower might be best. I have read lots about Oceani being quite a treck and needing to use the tram or boat and quiet but dated? I am diamond and its 8 mos away in June so would like to reserve what might be the nicest/ most convenient. Since the second option is Lagoon/Palace I am guessing its just run of the house rooms so I may have wiggle room to request one or another. I will be traveling with friends who are adults but may be bringing my 8 yo. Thanks for any guidance. Has anyone been to a conference here? See they have a few conference areas and not sure which building we are in. Thank you for any first timer tips. I Last went to the islands 15 years ago and that was maui...most enjoyed the road to Hanna trips and area. So this will be something different.
Glad you found your way. The conference rooms are in the middle. We liked and would recommend to you Makai at Lagoon Tower. Right at the main pool, which is also totally adjacent to the sandy beach kid pool. I believe there is a slide down at the grotto end, but it was closed and under renovation when we were there last year. I gave my synopsis in post #241 above.

I believe the Ocean Tower also has a pool but I know nothing about it. We took the boat ride through the interior of the Ocean Tower just to see it but never stopped.

The Palace Tower, which is in the middle and closest to the conference rooms, I don't believe has their own pool.

While it looks huge you have the boats and tram, and even walking is not that bad. But with a kid I'd prefer to be close to a pool.
