Reviews / Hotel

The expansive Westin hotel in the resort community of Princeville, on Kaua’i, sets the stage for a memorable vacation, whether you’re traveling as a couple or a family.

 

The resort’s perch high above the crashing surf of the Pacific Ocean means the property lacks a beach, but it more than makes up for that missing element. Westin guests are welcome at the nearby St. Regis, where there’s beach access, and there’s a complimentary shuttle transporting guests back and forth.

 

 

The pools are one of the main draws at the Westin Princeville. There is a larger, central pool area ideal for families, plus two plunge pools situated away from the main action. One boasts an infinity edge that gives you the feeling of hovering over the 200-foot drop leading to the ocean. From November to May, you might find yourself sipping a cocktail poolside while spotting whales breaching in the distance.

 

The resort’s accommodations are condominium-style villas, with full kitchens, flat-screen televisions and washer-dryer combos. There are also studio units outfitted with kitchenettes. A small market on the property offers a range of grocery items to save you a time-consuming grocery store run.

 

 

Daily cultural activities like lei making, hula lessons and arts and crafts offer welcome diversions and are geared to the whole family. You might choose to end your day with a poolside dinner, complete with a sunset view and an impressive menu of locally sourced ingredients. Or perhaps you’ll opt for an oceanside massage — it’s hard to go wrong.
