Cliffs at Princeville (The)
Sleek And Spacious
Back to Cliffs at Princeville (The)
We just stayed in unit #1203. All the kitchen appliances (frig, microwave, stove, dishwasher) were badly rusted. The carpet was coming apart at the seams and quite dirty. The bathroom floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in quite a long time and the mattress was hard as a rock. The fact the unit was not airconditioned was okay because the breeze was great if you kept the bedroom door open.

Got in at 6 pm after a long flight,grocery shopping & an hr drive from the airport. Got keys from the desk & proceeded to condo which was not cleaned from the previous guests. They did apologize & put us in "an even better condo" for one night. It did have very distant views of the ocean out the living area but the bedroom lanai faced the parking lot. They told us to go about our sightseeing the next day & that they would move our things to our designated condo. So we drove to other side of the island & get a phone call on the beach from them telling us to be out of the condo they put us in ASAP as they have the rightful guests waiting to check in!

We stayed here for our honeymoon five years ago and came back to celebrate our fifth. The location is perfect if you need to be squirreled away from the city and are not into the touristy thing & souvenier shopping 24/7. This is laid back and yet a convenient 45 minute drive to all points on the island. We wanted to enjoy golfing, horseback riding and the hiking trails and have time for each other. A car is a must if you stay here so you can explore the island & fill your fridge from the local market. The condos are spacious and well maintainted. The front desk was very polite and accomodating. A happy place I would recommend them highly!

Just returned from a week at The Cliffs. Unit very roomy, huge master bedroom, enormous grounds but not utilised. View from the second and third floor units may be very nice of the sea, but hard to see from the ground floor due to the unkempt garden in front of the unit. Found staff to be very distant, unhelpful and unfriendly. Check in time is 4pm, we were kept waiting till after 5pm without even an apolpgy. Had to make activity arrangements through a local agent as the activity director was not interested in helping us. We were a group of 4 from Australia. Housekeeping was very poor, after changing some of the sheets on the 3rd day they stowed the upright vacuum cleaner in the wardrobe in the lounge amongst our clean hanging clothes and on top of our shoes. Every activity was $20 or more, even painting a coconut. Kaui is a very beautiful island and there is lots to see and do, however make sure you stay somewhere other than The Cliffs, you will certainly enjoy your stay on the island more.

This is by far the best place to stay on the island of Kauai. I have been to Kauai ten times over the years, and have stayed here for eight of them, and am going back this summer. The Cliffs is located on the north side of the island, which is the perfect side of the island to get away from tourists, and crowded beaches. Also, it is located about 5-10 minutes from Hanalei, and 15 minutes from Ke'e beach, which is the best getaway spot on the Hawaiian Islands. The cliffs is located on just that, a cliff, but it is not steep, and there is plenty of foliage, so it is plenty safe for the kids. Also, since itÂ’s located on the north side of the island, you will see spectacular sunsets that are hard to find anywhere else. I highly recommend the cliffs.

The location of The Cliffs is perfect if you want to be able to hang out at the Princeville Resort without all the glitz and glam and expense of those Ritz-Carlton hotel-staying types. Sure, the North Shore isn't the most dense place for activities, but the nearby beaches are fantastic for snorkeling, hiking, and going out to taste the local fare. As for The Cliffs, there are activities for those that don't want to leave the Resort and plenty to do. They have an Activities Coordinator, nice facilities, and great rooms for a reasonable price.

It was cleaned everyday when my husband and I returned back to the condo. The kitchen and master bedroom where big. there were two balconies one off the living room with a table and chairs. My husband and I ate dinner frequently on this balacony. The other balcony was off the master bedroom. The desk employees were very helpful with giving directions around the island. I recommend setting up activities through the activity employee because usually they are able to get up set up on a package deal. The have massages at a reasonable price, you can either have it in your room or outside in the lawn by the cliff.
