Luxury

"Expensive without a doubt, but the service, luxury and beauty will not be forgotten, Definitely worth the splurge. If you can’t afford to stay here, having dinner (or just drinks and apps) on a lanai from the lobby bar overlooking the beach and moutains of Hanalei Bay at sunset is to die for. Tres romantique."

Over the top in Kauai

Reviewed by JustonParker on October 25, 2006

JustonParker's rating:

"This is the place all the stars stay in Kauai. It’s the high end and they mean it. The views are phenominal and the rooms are all ocen view. There is an “opaque” window in the bathroom shower that allows you to make it clear or opaque at the flip of a switch. What a romantic bath for two overlooking the sunset behind the Na Pali. We love the place and…it’s not a place for a family. Expensive and a place for couples not the kids."

Pricey...and worth every penny!

Reviewed by Gini on July 30, 2006

Gini's rating:

"The first thing that strikes you when you get to the Princeville is that it’s built upside down! The lobby and main entry are on the top floor! That’s because the whole hotel is built into the side of a cliff and the best rooms are down on the beach on the first floor. We were lucky enough to have one of those first floor rooms and could walk out onto the Princeville’s pristine white sand beach right off our lanai. There are huge loungers and hammocks everywhere and the waiters will keep you plied with fruity tropical drinks at your whim. This hotel also sports a gorgeous infinity edge pool right by the ocean. Gorgeous! Our room was huge and sparkling clean. The best part was a gigantic marble and glass shower with a surprise twist: with the flip of a switch the wall between the shower and the bedroom goes from opaque gray to clear glass, allowing a phenomenal view of the beach. How cool is that?"
