Big condo, well appointed, basics for cooking in kitchen were good. One of the bathrooms may have had some mold.
Very thoughtful staff. Maintenance staff does an excellent job keeping up the property. The management gave us several gifts as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. We’d be happy to stay here again.

I booked one property and they overbooked so they downgraded me to another property. I asked for money back and they said they would put a refund in but I have no idea if they’re actually going to do it. I had to press the manager multiple times to give fair compensation for getting a room that was a lot worse than what I paid for

We booked the ocean front Shearwater resort. I emailed and had a phone conversation to confirm we would not be moved to a non ocean front resort as I had seen others in reviews had been. When we arrived to check in at sister resort Ko’a Kea, then go to our oceanfront we were advised we had been moved. The facility and room were nice but not ocean front. We were refunded 1 night stay but then charged again so now having to deal with getting double charges reversed. Front desk and management were understandable of our frustration and kind, but when you are booking ocean front it should be ocean front.

Misleading Room Descriptions and Lack of Attention to Detail

We were very disappointed with our stay at this hotel. The room we booked was advertised on both Expedia and ExtraHolidays.com as having a full ocean view, with photos showcasing stunning, unobstructed vistas. However, upon arrival, we discovered that only timeshare owners are offered full ocean-view rooms, and we were given a partial view instead. This was incredibly misleading and feels like false advertising. If full ocean views are reserved for timeshare owners, this should be made clear in the booking details.

To make matters worse, the room alarm had been left set for 6 a.m., which woke up our baby—definitely not how we planned to start our vacation. When we brought this up to the staff, they claimed housekeeping has no way of knowing if a previous guest left the alarm on. I had to personally show them the indicator light that clearly shows when an alarm is set. It’s frustrating that such a simple issue wasn’t addressed as part of the standard room preparation process.

Another point to note is that the hotel has no air conditioning. While this wasn’t a big issue for us during our stay, it’s something that isn’t advertised clearly, and it could be a dealbreaker for others depending on the time of year.

Overall, the lack of transparency in advertising and the oversight in basic room checks left us feeling let down.

Caution When Booking!!

I was notified hours before checking in (while on my flight to the location) that they would not be able to accommodate my stay. The representative told me that the room was part of a timeshare and no longer available to me. This was odd since I received confirmation the night before that my room was ready for checkin. The alternatives provided were not in the same location nor would they comparable. I chose to get a refund and was fortunate enough to find a nearby airbnb as nearby resort locations were booked. Unfortunately the cost of the location was higher and unexpected. This experience was completely unacceptable and I caution anyone looking to book this location.

3.5 stars feels about right. Nice ocean views, big balcony, and lots of space. Furnishings are of a good but not great quality, a bit dated. We were given an accessible unit for some reason, though we did not request one. The front desk at Shearwater has very limited hours, so if you are checking in after 4 PM, you have to check in at the sister property.

The room you're viewing is not the room you'll get

It is an amazing property and we will likely stay there again. My main complaint is that the unit listed on the hotels.com website is not the unit that we received. The site showed an oceanfront unit with the balcony in the master bedroom overlooking the water. The unit we received had an ocean view from balcony but not the expansive view showed in the listing. I would have spent more money for the view but specifically chose that room because of the view.

The views are the best ever. Very well located. Our 2 bedroom unit was very large. The patio was great. The stairs to the third floor were horrible. The lighting to find the units in the dark were horrible (wouldn’t take much to put lights at the room number signage in the parking lot!) and the parking is tight. But having said this, I’d stay there again but make sure I’m not in the third floor.

We were moved to another resort - still nice!

We were moved from the Shearwater to the Ka Eo Kai as a result of overbooking. The Ka Eo Kai is not ocean side. Although we were quite disappointed with the move as we were looking forward to the Oceanside views the Ka Eo Kai was really nice and the staff was very helpful. We ended up with a distant but gorgeous ocean view over the golf course out front and mountain view in back. The unit was a little dated but still very comfortable for a family of five. No AC but the ocean breezes made up fo that. So although we started out a little frustrated overall I would recommend the Ka Eo Kai

It is an absolutely beautiful property in Princeville. Management starts off by sending very nice informative texts and updates, but upon arrival all that niceness disappears! Lots and lots of rules, and when you ask for assistance on things like early checking or Wi-Fi problems they very nicely tell you nothing and do not help at all.
Management and front desk folks are absolute masters at telling you no and referring you to someone else to help you ie passing the buck!
Apparently it takes them up to 4 hours to clean a unit, and miraculously it was ready at 5:00pm but not a minute sooner

Double booked, find your own accomm elsewhere!!

Flew in from Australia to find they had double booked our room. We'd paid in August. Rang 48 hrs before as requested, no issues. Tried to blame Hotel.com who were unaware til the day of our arrival. We spent 1.30 hrs on phone in the car park trying to sort out new accomm. Nothing avail in the area. Ended up 24 miles away from where we wanted to be. Club Shearwater was unhelpful, not interested in any way. Although they knew there was going to be a problem as they gave us a case no. We received no phone call, no email, no notification. Do not recommend booking/staying there unless you want to take the risk of turning up and there being nothing available.

As other reviewers have noted, the views from my condo were spectacular and the 2 bedroom condo was large. However, I experienced a severe maintenance issue and nothing was done by the staff to resolve it.
First, I saw a lizard on the wall behind the sofa and another later on the sofa. It was apparent they had been there some time as there were droppings on the baseboard behind the sofa. I called housekeeping and was sent to voicemail where I reported the issue. There was no call back from the staff and no one came out to resolve the issue.
Second, there were many small ants in the kitchen area. They were on the counter and soon got into food. I had the unpleasant experience of ants running out a bowl of cereal I was about to eat!
Finally, as noted by others, there is no air-conditioning although this was not documented by the resort and other travel websites even state it is air-conditioned.

A beautiful view with all the amenities, Unit 309

The only reason for 4 stars is because of the check in after hours. Luckily, I called before we traveled and they explained check in would be off site. When we arrived, it was midnight, windy and raining. Would have been nice to know that the call box was at the Clubhouse. After we used the call box, security led us to our unit. Also, the VRBO check out time on our confirmation was stated as 11am. The Wyndham check out is 10am. Please correct this on confirmation! Otherwise, the experience was more than we expected.

Unit 309 has a beautiful ocean (coastline) view to the Lighthouse. Washer, dryer (even laundry soap). We called for new coffee pot and it was immediately delivered. Plenty of coffee and some treats. It was more than we imagined. A very nicely updated unit.

Amazing view of the ocean.

We stayed in unit 109 E which is a bottom floor unit and the view of the ocean was truly awesome and the unit itself was clean and comfortable. The main issues that occurred was the tenant above us had real heavy feet and it was very annoying hearing him walk around during the evening and early morning. We tried sitting on the deck to enjoy the amazing view of the ocean and sound of the waves which was terrific until he came out every evening and morning to smoke (which is not permitted) and had very loud conversations on his phone and with his partner which we could hear clearly. When they were not in their unit, it was a nice experience and a great place to stay. The location was very convenient to all parts of the north and east shore activities. Maybe it was a stroke of bad luck with tenant above us but I am uncertain if I would return because of the disturbing noise.

Our place had some huge pluses.

It was very very clean and very very well maintained, first rate for sure. It had an incredible view of the ocean (please note we were lucky on this one - not all units have ocean views!). The neighborhood was very nice and seemed very safe. Staff was A for sure - they went the extra mile. Doubt 3/4 mile from a good grocery.

There were a few minuses. No sidewalks on local road - so to go for a walk you had to walk on narrow road and dodge cars - not dangerou but a pain going for a walk, especially with my young daughter at night. The standard wifi was really poor so weak you could only get good wifi in one part of living room.

Overall I'd recommend this place and stay again. Just a couple notes: first it does not have AC. It does have world's best climate, but in middle of day can get a little stuffy in this unit. We are from Arizona and used to heat - if you are the kind of person who needs AC set a 75 this could be hot for you. Another note is is not full survice hotel. You get a really nice kitchen and washer dryer and 2-Bedrooms, but you don't get maid service.

Overall the property was inviting and the view was very appealing. The staff was attentive and got back to me right away. I loved that the place had all the basic kitchen ware so we could cook and do laundry.

A few things to better improve things would be:

Housecleaning should come more then once a week to exchange bathroom towels and hygiene items. Leaving some extra supplies for laundry and doing dishes would have been great as well! A hose to rinse off our muddy shoes from hikes would have come in handy.

Lastly, it would have been nice to know that I could have called someone in the middle of the night regarding noisey neighbors above us on day 3 or 4 of our stay at the Wyndham Shearwater. The neighbors allowed their child to race across the floor upstairs repeatedly waking everyone up. The toddler repeatedly ran around at 5:00 am and sometimes late into the evening.

The mom was tossing luggage around and it was super loud and annoying. We tried to be patient with them and understanding that they had small children but by night 2 we couldn’t take it anymore and placed a note on their door. The note said for them to be mindful of their neighbors. That night went well but 5:00 am the next day again the toddler was racing back and forth.

Overall though we loved it there and it was mainly peaceful and everyone was friendly!!

Amazing view without a/c

The view is unbeatable overlooking seacliffs. We even saw a double full rainbow right in front of us. Place is quite clean but furniture is somewhat dated. As another review suggested, you can walk to adjacent SeaLodge and take a trail (20 min walk) to a nearby beach where you can find white crabs near the water. Conveniently located close to foodland supermarket. There is no condiments available so you have to buy if you decide to cook. Despite lack of a/c, the sea wind helped keep things cool enough. Only drawback is the time share sales pitch. They offer free continental breakfast as bait but we skipped it.
