I stayed in a 2 bedroom March 6-13, 2008. A newer property (still building) that is up to date inside
and out. For example, there's a wall mounted, flat panel wide screen LCD TV in the master
bedroom. Units have DVD & VCR players. One of the better equipped kitchens I have seen. They
even give you some Kona coffee and microwave popcorn. The unit is very large and was very clean.
View from lanai was of the beautiful grounds. Very friendly staff. I think folks should be aware
that there is NO air conditioning. I always read that the tradewinds will keep you cool. That is true
if the resort is on the ocean and you have an ocean front unit. This resort is not on the ocean. My
first floor unit didn't experience the trade winds. There are a lot of ceiling fans (man made trade
winds) and you can be relatively comfortable, but it will still be humid.
FREE WI FI, but you have to ask for a code card at the check in desk. It was high speed and reliable.
There are a lot of great beaches for swimming, snorkeling, and boogie boarding on the north side.
None are within walking distance, but you need a car to get around on this island. You can drive
to some of these great beaches in less than 10 minutes. Try Anini Beach east of the resort or
Hanalai Bay and Kee Beach west of the resort.
If you are a golfer, you will love the golf courses. If you are a walker/runner you will like the
walking path around the golf courses.
There is a Foodland and a good restaurant in the Princeville Center. Some people miss it because
it is between the east and west entrances to Princeville. They come in the east and go back out
the east (if going east) or the west (if going to Hanalei) and completely miss Princeville Center. It
is only 5 minutes from the property. The Foodland even has a complete liquor store. While the
prices are high, they are about as good as you are going to get on Kauai.
Except for the lack of air conditioning, I highly recommend this property.
