A great spot to base yourself on the North Shore ..comfortable condo with air con and prompt, clear communication from Helena ...car essential to visit various beaches and Haleiwa foodtrucks.. we really enjoyed the Haleiwa Bowls shack (acei) and various shrimp trucks in the area. Walk along the trails near the resort to keiki's pool for a lovely safe swimming spot when the sea is rough. (We went and picked up a resort map from Turtle Bay Resort to help our navigation .) Waimea Valley is lovely if you are interested in a nice self guided stroll through some botanical beauty. ( way better value than grossly overpriced Allerton Gardens )
