This really is the most affordable way to visit the island. For the value, being a solo female traveler, & wanting to budget this trip, it was perfect.
The only negative I have is the power bank lost charge the last two nights I was there & the fans for sleeping wouldn’t work. So it was very hot. I had to turn the van on & AC a few times in the middle of the night just to cool down. Apparently it charges when driving but I wasn’t driving to much.
Definitely do your research on places to stay. I do not recommend the street parking by the zoo. It was very loud all night. Sandy park beach was nice, I loved the east side of the Island the best.
I also booked a couple nights at Ewa Sands Beach on hip camp & HIGHLY recommend it. I wish I did that my whole trip. It has a beach front access, fire pit on the beach, shower, restroom, Wi-Fi, electrical hook up, all to yourself. The host was so nice.
Overall, I’d book this again for the value alone. Can’t beat having a car & a place to stay all in 1.
