room clean staff very helpful. Love having the kitchen and washer dryer. pools hot tubs etc so nice. Only issue is nene poops but staff does work to control it. beautiful location. although you must drive to beaches. It is nice having their market to get essentials and small food items. Restaurant is expensive and sub par. Good places to eat in near by areas and in Hanalei Bay. Also the property has well maintained as far as clean.. BBQs outside to use. Great for dinners. We stay here for kitchen and BBQ access pools for morning swim and lovely property.

We were very happy with our stay. Beds are very comfortable, and everyone is friendly. There was a full size refrigerator, 2 burner cooktop, WASHER AND DRYER and dishwasher. We were able to eat breakfast in every morning, make lunches to take with us everyday for picnics, and one night bought steaks at the local grocery store and grilled out on the grills by the pool! Such a fun time! So much to do in Kauai - make reservations ahead of time for all the gardens - they sell out. So do a lot of the excursions, zipline, helicopter rides, coastline boat rides, etc. definitely recommend Kauai!!

We were surprised to learn that we ended up at a time share resort. The listing had the word “aparthotel” in small print which is the code for understanding that this isn’t a standard hotel arrangement. Our suite was OK but pretty blah. A second disappointment was that we were put in an accessible suite which meant that the bathroom was unpleasant. And while there is a good restaurant on the property it doesn’t serve breakfast so you need to buy food at their little market or the local grocery store which was recovering from a problem with their refrigeration system.

The resort location is close to several great beaches and Hanelei is a prime area to explore. And once we adjusted to the timeshare mode our stay was pleasant.

Great pools and clean property overall, however the Nene geese leave a lot of poop on grass and pools areas. Clean up is done by staff daily, however one day near building 3 the pool deck was filled with poop and not cleaned for quite some time even with a call to the front desk. Restaurant is decent, but during our late February early march stay, there was no breakfast served at the sit down restaurant. Studio was great with a full kitchen and we had an ocean view room. Wonderful views with our am coffee on the terrace. Walking areas were wonderful as well, for those who love to walk.

This is not a traditional resort, it's a timeshare.
Rooms are OK but small and old. The restaurant does not even serve breakfast. If this were a real resort, breakfast lunch and dinner would be served. Unfortunately, other than 1 hotel down the street, there are not any other really nice resorts on this side of the island.

The room was beautiful and staff were very kind! The only annoying thing was that we weren't able to check in until 4:45pm (even though it states check in was at 4pm, which is already later than most hotels). The front desk said it was because of a lot of late check outs, but the brochure they gave me while I was waiting specifically said that late check outs were not available. The woman next to me also said the last time she stayed there, she wasn't able to check in until 5pm.

I think that the housekeeping and customer service was great. They went above and beyond to help us out. 4 starts because we had a fire alarm test ignoring Do Not Disturb signs. Also 10:00am is a very inconvenient checkout time. I didn’t realize it was more of a timeshare owned property and I feel there are some negatives that come with that. Positives were a fridge, nearly full kitchen and washer and dryer.

We really enjoyed our 7-night stay at the Westin Princeville. It was recommended to us by friends and it didn't disappoint. It was always easy to find chairs at the pool, no matter the time of day. The poolside service was also great! Our villa was clean and comfortable and well-serviced. The concierge helped us book a couple of tours and had some good tips. They also opened the market store for us so we could buy some food, after we arrived late and very hungry. Only thing we didn't like was the $30/day charge for parking. I would recommend a stay at this property.

Expected Better

Because of the name Ocean Resort, we actually thought we would see the ocean from the resort. The shower/tub was difficult to enter and exit. The tub was slippery. It needs a mat for better balance and safety.

The bed was uncomfortable. The pillows for us were too big and lumpy. The heavy comforter was too heavy and hot. We didn’t use the air, and as such the heavy comforter wasn’t used. There needs to be an extra lighter blanket for use.

We look for a trash can and only found a very small plastic container in the bathroom. It was sufficient for all the trash. The screen door lock did not work. As such we didn’t feel comfortable leaving the glass doors open.

The restaurant door and service was amazing. The chicken poop on the tile floor next to us and chicken jumping on our table grabbing food was troubling.

We probably wouldn’t return to the resort.

We have a running list of everything that was atrocious about this hotel and it won’t fit here. For starters this is NOT a beach hotel. If you want to go to the beach, you walk 2 miles down a slippery dangerous trail and past homeless with no signage.
The concierge will have you believe because an exact quote “no where else to eat” and only one hike relatively close - that there is nothing else to do there because they want you to spend all your money sitting at their pool eating either wildly overpriced and 2 star food.
The concierge was unbelievably bad.
The doors didn’t lock to the entrance of the building.
It’s loud all night.
You can’t use your deck because the ducks literally attack you. (I have pictures)
However at night, guests can bang away at your door which is horrifying.
I have never had a 1 star stay but this was it.
Only perk is we hated them so much we forced our self to never eat at the hotel which was great because Hanalei bay is 8 minutes away and it’s absolutely amazihg.

Loved the property but my “Oveanview” room overlooked the parking lot which was a HUGE disappointment. And Because i booked on Expedia, we were given NO Marriott points after spending $2200.00, and altho my husband is a Titanium member, we ordinarily have perks like late checkout but not given.
We will never book with Expedia again!

Resort was nice however our room had several problems during our stay such as the dishwasher overflowed and luckily we noticed it before we left the room and stopped the dishwasher or it could have caused significant damage to the carpeting and room. They did fix it when told about it.
The air conditioning was working fine for the first three days but the last three days it was leaking water and we asked them to fix it as it was making the carpet wet in the bedroom. They came right away and said they fixed it. We went for dinner and came back and it was still leaking and the carpet was wet. They came back the next day and said they fixed it and put a large fan in the room to dry the carpet but when we returned to the room it was still leaking and continued like that until we checked out so basically had a leaking air conditioner for three days and wet carpet to walk on in the bedroom.
They did not offer anything to compensate for this annoyance other than two free chocolates....Not very good hospitality for the Westin.

Convenient and clean but not welcoming

The room was nice. Very convenient to have a kitchen and a washer and dryer in the room. The reception and welcoming was nonexistent. Just a basic hotel check in which is not what we have experienced at other Hawaii hotels. Seems more geared to timeshare owners. The nearby farmers market is great. There is a nearby trail down to a beach but it’s a somewhat steep hike back up.

Worth Considering in Princeville

The Westin was a lovely facility and our room was very nice with a well designed layout. Our only disappointment in the room was the pillows which were less than adequate.
Having to pay for parking was a surprise and disappointment.
Unfortunately, to our surprise, the main pool was closed for renovation which made it un useable and negatively impacted the view from the dining room (we were left to look at a green construction fence).
Speaking of the restaurant, there was only one on the grounds and it, along with the bar, closed at 8:00PM leaving no options if you prefer to dine later in the evening or are looking for a nightcap. Disappointing!
The small store and cafe for take away items was excellent and we took advantage of it more than once! It's worth checking out if you stay at the Westin.

If you are looking for a quiet place to read a book by the pool, you’ve found it. If it’s enjoying the area by foot you will need to pick a different spot.

Lots of parking, but not as convenient. If you have a unit further away from the lobby would be helpful If they had some carts you could use to transport your groceries and your luggage..so you don’t have to make make multiple trips to your vehicle to your unit to unload and load especially since units have fulll Kitchen and u plan on making meals there it would be nice to have like a wagon or a cart for your groceries and your luggage

I found the walls of the villas to be quite thin and the setup of the rooms (especially the bathroom areas) quite dated and the configuration odd (and my bathroom hadn’t been fully cleaned). The staff was incredibly kind, generous, and helpful. The families seem to enjoy the pools and all the offerings on site. In the end, I think it’s the room that would stop me from returning. It was at once generic, loud, uninviting, and the AC didn’t go low enough for the heat (lowest was 68), so I got a terrible sleep to boot. If you have kids, aren’t heat sensitive during sleep, and want a good basic, friendly place to stay in Princeville, the Westin will probably fit the bill for you.
