I liked staying here and not directly down in Haleiwa. Easy access to some great beaches! It was a 20-30 min drive to get to Haleiwa due to traffic, but that was fine because we had access to some pretty great food trucks and amazing beaches just a few minutes from our stay. Probably 10 min without traffic. I didn’t realize the family would be so close and that made us retreat to our rooms a little more than we would have liked. However, I spent the morning by the pool and it was much more relaxing than I thought it would be! Another person wrote that there could be some updates and I agree, but I think amenities on the island just get worn with sun, sand, and salt!
