The Cliffs at Princeville

Our week-long stay at this resort through Interval Exchange was less than ideal. The lack of air conditioning made the room uncomfortably hot and humid in August, forcing us to sleep with the patio door open. This led to other issues: a bright street light shining directly on the bed, early morning rooster calls starting at 4 am, and loud street cleaning noises at 6 am. The front office staff were consistently unhelpful. On three separate visits to inquire about activities, request toiletries, and exchange towels, we were met with stone-faced, abrupt receptionists who showed no interest in hospitality. The resort has about nine buildings. It appears that only timeshare owners are given ocean-facing rooms with sunset views. As exchange guests, we were placed in a building far from the ocean, where roosters frequently shouted outside our patio and sometimes entered the room due to the patio door needing to be open for airflow. The room itself was spacious but dated, with 1980s decor, old linens, and carpets. Only a single, small bottle of shampoo and similar toiletries were provided. We incurred significant costs for this stay, paying over $300 in exchange fees (in addition to our 2000 points) and an additional $350 upon arrival for resort and parking fees. Given these issues, we advise prospective guests to carefully consider booking this resort.

The Cliffs at Princeville exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by Mark & Joni, both were very welcoming & showed the Aloha spirit throughout our stay. Our condo was very clean & comfortable. We especially enjoyed the Hawaiian touches in our condo, from the beautiful Hawaiian paintings to the quilts. We enjoyed listening to nature in a quiet & peaceful setting with stunning views of sunrise looking over the rainforest setting to the east and the ocean straight ahead from our lanai. There are multiple food trucks that are on property on different days from wood fired pizza to authentic Mexican food. We received texts from the staff making sure there wasn't anything else they could do to make our stay more enjoyable! Amazing staff & property. There is no A/C, but with the tradewinds blowing through & multiple fans, you don't need it. Some reviews complained about the chickens, but that's just part of being on the island of Kauai 🌺

This is one of the loveliest getaway experiences we’ve had. Snorkeling was incredible and easy to get to. The staff here was friendly and helpful, giving us many tips about where to go. We went bike riding, walking, sunset watching. We also barbecued portobello mushrooms and had dinner at a picnic table on the cliffs. We took a Zodiac boat tour along the Napali coast. We also just sat out on the balcony, looking out at the incredible view and read our books and drank our wine. Checking out with Joanie was really lovely. She made sure that we’d had a great experience! We just cannot wait to return!

Incredible view!! Condos looked as advertised. Nice kitchen. Great food trucks most nights. The rare Nene birds on the property were adorable. Hot tub was surprisingly the perfect temperature.

We stayed at The Cliffs about 2 months ago. It is a drive from the airport But its so worth it. We got to see the amazing views of the Garden Isle. If you have the room get your groceries on your way to the Resort. There's a reason they ask to check in at 4pm. The room was very clean ans we were a bit worried because there was no AC. But opening the lanai doors and the breeze cooled the whole place in no time. We also recieved a welcoming text letting us know if there was anything they could do to let them know. The view from our room was amazing and of course you could walk to the cliff, sit and enjoy the sunset as well as the occasional boat. And of course the Nenes always come by to visit. The kitchen is well maintained and clean and that coffeemaker was high tech. Oh and the ice and water from the faucet tastes great. Fill up your water containers with ice and water and hit the road. I highly recommend staying here. May it your hub for adventure. We did. :) until the next time, The Cliffs.

The Cliffs property is immaculate, landscaped with plumeria, hibiscus, and lots of lush greenery, and ground maintenance is busy every day, making things just perfect. We had two one bedroom condos, each eqiupped with every possible thing you might need, from the basic dishes, silverware, and glasses, to pots and pans, casserole dishes, glass storage containers with plastic lids, all kinds of cooking utensils, even an ice-cream scoop! Each suite had a couple of NICE beach chairs and a cooler that you could use for your beach adventures. The lack of air conditioning was noticeable and uncomfortable if you were moving around inside a lot, but two large oscillating fans made the evenings quite nice. In the two weeks we were there, there were food trucks Monday thru Thursday evenings, and a small farmers stand on Fridays and Mondays to get you started for the week. There wasn't a thing that was missing!! Don't miss sunset overlooking the ocean!!

We had a very relaxing stay at The Cliffs in Princeville. We are very particular about where we stay and this resort met our requirements. No air conditioning was a concern before we got there but it was not needed. The unit was equipped with everything we could possibly need for a weeks stay. Daily events, food trucks and water fill stations at the resort were a bonus. The front office has all of the equipment you could need for you to check out- snorkle gear, beach chairs, tennis/pickle ball rackets and balls, boogie boards, etc... I would highly recommend this timeshare property!!

We stayed here for my daughter birthday weekend as a staycation. The staff was friendly and the environment was beautiful. There was a nice little walk through the jungle path.
