We have stayed at this property in the past and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. During our visit we were made aware that the main pool was being worked on and that was okay with us. However, you’d think they could try and make some slight changes to accommodate the limited pool space. Perhaps set out additional chairs on the lawn area to allow people to enjoy sitting and watching the views. Instead they were all stacked around the construction of the pool. Allow your guest to enjoy the property. Also, the tables outside the market place to sit and enjoy coffee had all been roped. Again, move them 50 feet and allow guest space to enjoy their coffee. Additional suggestion - The hotel advertised 3 restaurants. Nanea, the market and a pool bar. That is not the case. Nanea was only open for breakfast Saturday and Sundays breakfast options. Check out is 10:00 am so we thought how perfect we can grab a quick breakfast HOWEVER, the restaurant doesn’t open until 11:30 am. Not very convenient for departing guest. No deal breakers but certainly easy things management could amend to try and be more accommodating, especially during pool renovations.…

Various amenities were undergoing refurbishment and updating while I visited, but the Westin Princeville Resort is a most beautiful resort on Kaua’i’s North Coast. All the rooms are full villas with kitchens and washer/dryers reflecting the timeshare nature of this resort. Given the rising costs of hotel rooms, the place reflects good value. There is a restaurant and bar on site along with a gym and normally, a whole host of pools for children and adults. (However, the main pool was undergoing renewal at this time.) Staff members are great and ever helpful. Whether you are an owner or a renter, I fail to see you not having a great time here.

My daughter and I booked an ocean front 3 nights for 3 people for $7000! Instead we have a 3rd floor treetop, rooftop view without compensation or discount for this cottage location. My son and I are also kamaainas. As owners for many years until last year (for over a decade) of Hawaii Timeshares ocean view 2 bedrooms (1 master with living-dining room and a lock off bedroom until last year) of Ka’anapali Maui 😭 and Princeville, Kauai, as well as, Platinum approaching lifetime members, I was appalled at the lack of consideration for even a discounted rate for the cottage location or as a kama’aina. Also don’t expect anymore courtesy bottled water or original signature welcome fruit basket, bathroom amenities like toothbrushes, cotton balls, sewing kits etc. These courtesies that even many 2 star hotels provide are not provided by the new “Bonvoy” brand. I give a “0” for the disappointing consideration for the exorbitant rate. However, the grounds are still lovely, the Heavenly Bed still fresh and bathrobes, thick towels are like the previous Westin/Sheraton brands. Note that the upholstery on sofa and dining chairs are worn and collapsed. Only the patio chairs give any support. If guests happen on a reasonable rate for this year round high season resort on the north side, almost an hour from the airport, north side of Kauai is a spectacular. All of Kauai has of incomparable landscape and aloha spirit. Just don’t be milked by the new Bonvoy brand changeover.…

Aloha and Mahalo for visiting with us and sharing your feedback, Judith. We are a vacation time-share property, which differs in many ways from some of the traditional Marriott hotel brands, which offer Bonvoy member benefits such as providing bottle waters, welcome amenity gift, early check-in and late checkout. We apologize the ocean view villa you were assigned to did not meet your expectations. Mahalo for the review and for giving us a try!

My wife and I had a lovely stay here in early June. We came as invited by the Westin club to listen to a presentation on buying into a timeshare and the deal was too good to pass up (normally a week in Hawaii is more than we want to spend). We loved our room, which had a kitchenette so we saved lots of money by grocery shopping nearby instead of eating all of our meals out or at the resort. We also loved our walk-out lanai right to the quiet pool. It gave us the peace and serenity we were looking for on our vacation. The staff here were always kind and helpful and the meals we did have at the resort were pricey but good. We also loved staying on the North Shore of Kauai and how close it is to Hanelai and the NaPali coast. The pools at the resort are great but note that while there are ocean views, there is no beach access here. To get to beaches, I would recommend renting a car and exploring. So many lovely beaches on this end of Kauai!…

It was fun the pools were nice and they have lots of things to do. The rooms are nice with jets in the bath. The only problem was there was no parking and the place that has towels and games closes too early because by the time we got back from our day it would be closed.

Pros: clean room, washer and dryer and kitchenette in room, grills next to the pool, nice view from the bluff Cons: not much service (not what you might expect for a Westin or the $700+ room charge), no elite benefits whatsoever, 10 am checkout, no beach close by

We arrived yesterday to celebrate our 50th anniversary after a LONG trip. Boon at reception helped us find the perfect room. He was beyond kind and helpful. Our dinner server Michael was so friendly! The property is gorgeous and immaculately maintained. Go for the north shore sunrises and sunsets. Stay in the well-appointed suites.

Terrible experience- lifetime titanium member. Marriott continues to slip Post Covid and this property is the poster child. A few friendly workers along the way, but overall room/ villa was dirty and falling apart. Shower head didn’t stay on the hook and the ring around it was covered in mold and sediment. And it hit my son in the head when it fell off the holder we had asked to be repaired. broken ice maker and microwave- plus no oven. Don’t do it / stay here unless on a package or points and even then I would look elsewhere. We have been staying in high end places last several years, so maybe we are spoiled. Westin used to be a mid level choice especially for their villa properties, but this one is a mess and not in working order. Pool area chair cushions dirty, pool deck inches of mud, and a Westin for elite status members counting pool towels like a low end cruise line. Do not pay for this property at full price. The scenery and the location to haneli bay was amazing. This is a case of location keeping them in business- it is on par with a hotel 6 otherwise.…

$890 a night gives you a simple studio with a balcony and view of the parking lot. You better not plan for a nice Sunday brunch when staying here, no food included and they want you out of your room for 10 am check out time . As a premium Marriott bonvoy member the manager told me all the benefit such as room upgrade, late check out don’t apply for this Westin Hotel because people stay here for vacation. Parking is $20 on top of a hard to defined resort fee. The three pools are too small to swim in, but the green grass facing the ocean looks beautiful, even though there is no beach. The one man band played country music by the pool making it even away from the pool impossible to relax. It was like a Texas ranch. his voice was more like a bad kareoke attempt. My double shot espresso from the push machine did wake me up and was under $5 without tip. The property is clean, well maintained but completely overpriced. It would be a nice 3 star $100 a night resort with breakfast, but close to $1000 is unreasonable . To be fair I had a local resident kamaaina discount but with close to $600 this was not a bargain. I love the heavenly beds of course I was here on business.…
