We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"

We had a great time there. Checking in was easy, the facilities were great and checking out was also easy. Self parking meant a bit of a walk to the car, but that was not an issue. We’re also very close to the coconut marketplace, so shops and dining were easy. At Kauai Shores itself, the lava lava lounge was excellent.

Loved staying here. Was glad we didn't opt for larger hotels with overwhelming numbers of guests. Attention from staff was friendly and really appreciated the direction cards to help us with our driving in an unfamiliar location, especially as we usually drive on the other side of the road. Poolside was peaceful and very relaxing.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we make this comparison against other hotels in other islands.
Resort was fabulously quiet if you are in the Villas.
Definitely recommend.

We had an ocean-view room but I spent the first 10 min photographing the gorgeous decor! Fabulous view from the room. Fabulous pools. Loved the Lava mocktails. Came face to face with lots of turtles in the water at the little beach. Just blissful. Some of the staff were a bit cringey and the food wasn't fantastic (but that may just be me not having the American palate). I got a splinter in my foot and one of the room-cleaning staff swiftly found me a sewing kit so we could use the needle....

We really enjoyed our stay at the Westin Villas Princeville from 3rd-6th January. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool area is great fun and the breakfast was delicious too. Less than 10 minutes drive to Hanalei Bay, which we loved.

Spacious but dated room. Nice location with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Pool was out of action which was very disappointing as unable to swim at beach and was supposed to re-open during our stay. Laundry facilities were good. Parking was free and always plenty.

We absolutely loved this place and will be back. It has a resort feel but it was so great to have a kitchen and to be able to cook a few things..... We had already been away for two weeks by the time we got here! We loved the space and the layout, kitchen, lounge, dining, two bathrooms and a big bedroom awesome. We sat out at the cliffs at sunset and watched the whales. If you don't give this place 5 stars you are very hard to please.
