We just had a great family trip here. Everything was so close and this place was just a perfect place for my family.
I am going to write a very honest review here( sorry for my English writings: I am from Seoul South Korea and English is my second language but you will get so much information from this ! )
1. Location: you will be basically in downtown Waikiki. Everything is walkable from here. Famous restaurants and shopping malls, beaches and shops, YOU CAN WALK !
If not ? We used the bus 🚌 ( So easy !)
There are 2 very close bus stops from this place within 5 minutes by walk.
( bus rate : $ 2.75 / one way )
I knew that my family will use this public transportation a lot here so we went ahead bought daily bus pass it’s called “Holo card “ / you can purchase this card at ABC store, Seven Elevens and other stores.
It costs $ 5,50/ Person for a daily pass.
My family used this passes to go to Ala Moana shopping center, Diamond Head Crater, KCC Farmers market, Walmart, Safeway etc.
One of the beautiful thing about the this place was (did I already mention that you
can just walk to the beach in 5 minutes? )
we could be able to go to ABC Mart that is right next to the place : since my husband and I enjoy drinking on our vacation without any transportations, this was awesome for us - he would wake up 1:00 am and just walk down to get something to drink and eat ( you know, there will be some time difference for people)
You will see and here about international market place. (So many shops and restaurants here) and It takes only 10 minutes by foot.
Tips: we shopped a lot including swimsuits at Nordstrom Rack and all of us were so happy (tax were 4.15% something like that)
