Tip - do some shopping on the way for essentials.  Stop at discount Italian store in front of the Do-It Center for wine, liquor, meats/cheeses, snacks. There are also some grocery stores in Huacas, we also like the Surfside Market in surfside.  There is a great onsite store Copper and Stone in Las Catalinas, it's just more expensive.  However it is a good option for grab and go food, fruit cups, juices, coffees and more.
