the cliffs

We have a chance to stay for a week in july as an rci exchange. I was hoping someone could tell me about their one bedroom units and whether AC truly isn't necessary because of breezes. Thanks

We're going in mid June, so I can tell you then. A few of the reviews havn't been stellar--hoping they are wrong! I'd sure like to hear from anyone that's been there in the last few months.

We stayed there last week and are staying on the south shore his week. This is a nice resort wth large units and beautiful cross breezes. Most of Hawaii seems to just open the doors and use fans for cooling and it works just fine. The area is LOVELY! Units are very private and there are lots of nice bar-b-ques to use. However, if you want a fancy pool area with a bar and restaurant this is NOT for you! Pool and hot tub are adequate but NOT fancy and you'll have to go a few miles to a restaurant. Nearest beach is 1/2 mile or so away. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again. It's TONS better than the private condo we''re in now!

We bought a one bedroom with loft in early 2007. We stayed one week and really enjoyed it. Fans in each room and breezes will keep you cool. The Cliffs Club is a great value.

I was just there in December we did not use the air conditioner at all. Of course it rained every day for at least 30 minutes and did not affect our vacation at all. We were in the property just across the street, the Ali Kai II which is also a great property. If you can get in there it has a beautiful view of the ocean and the mountains. I am not sure about the mountain view from the Cliffs. Be sure to drive down to the Princeville hotel at the west end of the road to the Cliffs. Tour the hotel and go down to the surf. The snorkelling is fantastic. The snorkelling at the Mariott (not the one at the airport but the other one farther on the south side of the island) is great. We took bagels in ziplock bags and the more you feed the fish the bigger the fish come to eat. They will eat out of you hand so be careful as the teeth are sharp. I got scraped but did not bleed. The cliff view at the Cliffs is breathtaking and I counted 8 waterfalls in the distance off of the mountains looking toward the west. Dean
