I have been to both Mandarin Oriental (MO) and Westin. Our kids (aged 4 and 8) always want to go back to MO as there is a large outdoor swimming pool with water slide! Also if it rains they can play in the indoor playroom with 波波池 in the Kids' club. More importantly there is caring and professional staff looking after your kids while you can go out to do shopping/spa. The charge is about $20 to $30 (last year's price!) per hour per kid. You can also enrol your kids to the course organized by the Kids' club (such as arts and crafts/cooking class to keep them busy, they would love it!). There is also an outdoor playground in the Kids' Club with swings and slides.
However, our kids are not interested in the kids' club in Westin. It is only a small room equipped with limited baby toys. We use their babysitting service but the babysitter is in fact an off-duty housekeeping staff! And they charged $50 per hour!! However, they can swim in the indoor swimming pool when it rains. But that's all. Also you may need to consider the transportation between the hotel and the pier/town centre. Although there is shuttle bus service, it's not that frequent. It will cost you about $60 per trip!
補充: It's $60 per trip by taxi from Westin to pier/town centre. There is no indoor swimming pool in Mandarin Oriental. However the indoor swimming pool in Westin is not big and there is no children's pool area. That's why last time I had to buy the floating ring for my younger kid as the depth of water is about 1m.

P.S. I mean $60 per trip by taxi from Westin to pier/town centre.
Also there is no indoor swimming pool in Mandarin Oriental. But the indoor swimming pool in Westin is quite basic and not really big. There is no children's pool and the depth of the water is about 1m. That's why last time I had to buy a floating ring for my younger kid!!!
