The place is so close to the main boulevard and ocean that it is a perfect location. Just down the street there is this big mango tree that provides the best little mangoes we have ever eaten for free. Plenty of food courts and stores to get any little stuff you need. It gets noisy at night and a good pair of earplugs helps.
The zoo is worth visiting as it supports many conservation projects worldwide.
The north shore is a MUST... Aloha!
