The apt is well situated in Princeville. We hiked down to the beach near the Regis hotel which was lovely as well as the hike down to Queens Bath. The town center offered some restaurants, grocery store and other small shops. The area was difficult to find after dark! The area definitely requires the use of a car in order to take in multiple beaches. Princeville is very quiet. Hanilea has more activity going on as well as hiking and beaches.(about 15 min down the road). We also visited many other areas on the island at the south end which at times were sunnier. All in all we enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time.
