The Princeville Resort Kauai

This isn't just any resort on any island. This is the Princeville Resort, set gracefully on 23 acres on Pu'u Poa Ridge, and terraced along the bluff facing Hanalei Bay. Choose from one of 252 impeccably appointed rooms and suites, all boasting spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Hanalei Bay and the Na Molokama. With lush landscaping and brilliant tropical flowers in abundance, the Princeville Resort is dazzling in its natural beauty. Located in the Princeville resort community on Kauai's North Shore, this resort overlooks the Pacific; below is a scenic beach and surf-swept bay against a backdrop of rugged mountains.

Built in plantation style, the hotel appears modest from the driveway: low-rise, creamy stucco with a green-tile roof. The vast lobby creates a different impression: marble, gently falling water, tapestries, antiqued chairs, sofas so deep they seem to swallow guests. A terrace off the lobby showcases ocean views, as breaking rollers sweep into beautiful Hanalei Bay past the rock spire called Bali Hai.

The beautiful beach provides calm water for swimming and snorkeling except under the most dramatic offshore surf conditions. A huge pool with an ocean view and a swim-up bar are surrounded by a spacious sundeck and a garden of small palm trees. One level up from the pool are a toddlers' pool and three enormous half-moon-shaped spas.

Comprising 252 guestrooms in four three- and four-story buildings arrayed on the 23-acre site's cliffside, the resort is uncrowded and tranquil. Complimentary shuttles move guests around the vast Princeville resort community, including to the Prince Course clubhouse, where the health/beauty/fitness spa is located, and to the tennis center. Off the lobby are concierge rooms for both Japanese and Western guests, where helicopter sightseeing trips along the renowned Napali Coast can be arranged, along with other activities. The poolside beach-activity center rents snorkel sets, kayaks, and boogie boards and arranges outrigger canoe tours, scuba lessons, and dives. Supervised children's activities include child care for toddlers by the wading pool; snorkeling, scuba, and boogie-boarding for ages 5–12; and surfing lessons and horseback riding for ages 12–16.

This tranquil plantation-style resort offers 252 guestrooms in four 3- and 4-story buildings arrayed on the cliffside of the 23-acre site. Rooms have views of gardens, the green Hanalei Mountains, or the Pacific Ocean. The decor features wood ceiling moldings, light-colored, plantation-style wood furniture, window seats, and original oil prints on the walls. Instead of step-out balconies, most rooms have Juliet balconies, with wrought-iron railings in front of large sliding windows. Bathrooms are done in green marble, with twin sinks, a deep soaking tub and shower, gold-plated fixtures, a lighted makeup mirror; and side-lit mirror panels. Premium bedding, plush bathrobes, minibars, and refrigerators are among the numerous amenities.

La Cascata - Passing through iron gates, La Cascata diners find themselves in an elegant setting of hand-painted murals beneath an embellished double-vaulted ceiling. The restaurant features a Mediterranean-accented dinner menu and extensive wine list.

The 9,000-acre Princeville resort community includes two golf courses: the 18-hole Prince, ranked number one in Hawaii by Golf Digest, and the 27-hole Makai, where three nines radiate like spokes from the clubhouse. The resort also includes a six-court tennis center and many jogging paths. Other recreational opportunities abound in North Kauai.
