SUMMARY:
If you're looking for a private getaway where you won't be distracted and can enjoy hikes, beaches, sunsets and quality time— as well as a great restaurant for food and drinks situated right on the beach... this place is perfect for you!
Even though it's an hour away from Waikiki and Lanikai (East Side), to be completely honest, Waikiki is very americanized... it doesn't feel like Hawaii whatsoever. It's very touristy and all there is to do there is shop.
Lanikai on the other hand is fun, and even though it's an hour drive away, it's a BEAUTIFUL drive! I went multiple times a week and never felt bothered by the drive— it was totally worth it. It's definitely more lively down there. Great for meeting people.
Hope this helps!
