Remodeled Cliffs Resort in Princeville [1]
Lots of positives
Reviewed on 2025-01-10 by Jen N. , Lehi, UT USThe microwave wasn’t working so we were brought another one a day or two into our stay and then that one stopped working so a third one was brought in that finally worked. The staff had daily text and a list of activities although most were not free and cost $25 each. <br/><br/>No AC and so we were warm especially at night and one of the fans they gave us broke but we were brought a new one.
Excellent condo
Reviewed on 2024-10-19 by Lisa H. , Carlsbad, CA USWe had a wonderful time. The condo is well furnished, very functional kitchen with everything we needed. It is on the third floor, which was fine because we are athletic people and can Haku luggage, groceries, etc up the stairs, but I wasn’t aware of this when I booked it. This also gives you a nice view of the ocean from the deck.
Great Getaway
Reviewed on 2024-05-02 by Chris W. , Riverbank, CA USKauai offers a low key island experience. People often go there to get away from the more commercialized feel and bustle of other island communities. The Cliffs plays into this strength so well. It is tucked away up on the north side of Kauai in the midst of sleepy towns and condos. It offers a beautiful location with all the amenities you could want and more. Off campus, you are a short distance from the beach or river kayaking or hiking. The unit has a sprawling master bedroom, a cozy living space, a helpful loft for more sleeping area, and a full kitchen. We felt very comfortable and satisfied with our experience. I highly recommend the unit and this management company!!
Happy with the stay
Reviewed on 2024-02-02 by , Declo, ID UnknownMy only complaint with the house, i felt like on the add we were going to have the condo that was ocean front over looking the water. We were behind other condos. Not a huge deal. they had good beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and body boards for us to use. We loved that. The house was great and the resort has a nice pool/hot tubs. We also enjoyed the sports courts and the playground for the kids to play. id go there again. Last note. They said the would come in and clean once during out stay and never did.
No A/C :( everything else amazing
Reviewed on 2023-09-11 by , Rupert, ID USLocation is amazing!! I will stay at the cliffs again but in this particular unit probably not. The tennis courts, pool, BBQ grills, bikes, and overall neighborhood were beautiful and well maintained.
However, there is NO A/C and this unit is located on the 3rd floor which makes it even hotter. After a long day at the beach I wanted nothing more than to come home and cool off. Opening windows at night does help but not also enough.
Also was slightly disappointed in a few of the amenities. As a family of 6 staying for 10 day I expected more than 2 laundry detergents before I had to start paying for my own. Also with 6 people there was not quite enough silverware.

Waterfall Views?
Reviewed on 2023-08-22 by , Pacific palisades, CA USThe unit has no AC but even the loft was comfortable at night with the fans and slider open. Not sure where the waterfall views come in as there aren't any. No easy beach access and no walkable dining available. Would have been great to see a few food trucks like they had during covid. You can buy ground coffee at the front desk and the prices were reasonable. The pool is small and seemed sort of murky so we stayed lounging on the chairs. Bikes are free for 2 hour rides.

Family Vacation
Reviewed on 2023-08-07 by Lindsey B. , Atlanta, TX USWe had the best time at The Cliffs. We enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views daily. The pool area was fabulous. Pickleball in the evenings and riding bikes were both so much fun. The condo was extremely clean, the staff was friendly, and the area is safe. Groceries were nearby as well as good places to eat. The North Shore is by far our favorite area on the island, so this was the perfect place to stay. It was heaven on earth.
Beautiful Relaxing Vacation Rental in Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii
Reviewed on 2023-07-01 by Greg H. , Salinas, CA USThe area was a little difficult to find our first night there as it is a community of condominiums. But once we got to the apartment it was a delight.
The apartment is roomy (for us), nicely appointed with bamboo furnishings and Hawaiian prints used through the decor. We loved the breakfast patio and every morning, we were joined by a friendly cardinal, who actually grabbed some of my breakfast out of my bowl. The two patios (off the bedroom and off the kitchen/livingroom) mean there is a nice cross breeze. The kitchen was well appointed for our needs and we chose to eat most of our meals there. We visited the Foodland Grocery, very close by, almost every day, getting fresh papaya daily.
The pool was a nice touch and although I didn't play, there are tennis and racquet ball courts on the property. There were also some basic beach supplies in the closet and we packed the chairs and some towels for any stops at the beaches nearby.
Hanalei Bay is about 10 minutes away. What a beautiful little village and beach area. We went each night it wasn't raining to catch the sunsets.
Overall we had a very pleasant stay. It did rain more than we are used to and on one trip to a local Tropical Botanical Garden, we just took umbrellas and had them up and down while we hiked the garden trails laid out in the forest. We were very happy with our time there and a lot of it had to do with how nice the accommodations were.
We had never stayed in the Princeville area on our previous visits to Kauai and we wanted to have the northern island experience. The apartment was on the 3rd floor, which is a must for us. Because of that, the ceilings were high and we had the fans on most of the time we were there. We love the views. <br/><br/>The area was a little difficult to find our first night there as it is a community of condominiums.

Cliff's vacation with Family
Reviewed on 2023-05-28 by , Allen, TX USWe really enjoyed our stay at The Cliffs. Our place we super pretty - the kitchen had everything we needed - included storage containers. They provided a large beach umbrella, beach chairs and boogie boards - which came in handy. There was a nice breeze going through the place at night - since it was on the 3rd floor - which really helped cool it down. The pool and hottub really came in handy after a long day of hiking and just fun on the beach. We enjoyed it daily. Can't recommend this place enough - it was perfect for our family of 4 - everyone had a bed. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the top of the cliffs - it was amazing.
Nice place to stay in Princeville
Reviewed on 2023-02-03 by , Tower Lakes, IL USUnit was ideal for 2 couples. Beds in loft were very comfortable. Top floor unit with high ceilings was attractive. We made good use of the gazebo with grills on the cliff overlooking the sea, as well as the tennis and pool, both of which were among the top 2 in Princeville.

The amenities and location were beyond our expectations and the concierge staff was both friendly and helpful. Also, the quieter side of the island was just what we needed to feel like we escaped to paradise

The Perfect Getaway in Paradise - views of the ocean and sunsets
Reviewed on 2022-06-14 by Kevin L. , San Diego, CA United StatesThe grounds are stunning with every inch perfectly manicured with deep lush tropical foliage. The pool is awesome with three sides. The front is loud and family-focused with two waterfalls. The back is quiet for adults also with waterfalls - surrounded by jungle plants. Our favorite location was the lawn overlooking the ocean and sunset. There are also several BBQs and tables to have a sunset dinner (which we did). There's even a path to the water on the other side of the hedges.
Lastly, they have bikes at no cost to ride around Priceville with. Outstanding experience. Highly recommend.
We have two teenagers making this two bedroom perfect for the family. It has a beautiful open space floor plan with a large master. From the kitchen and patio - there are peekaboo views of the ocean and sunset. The TV is Roku with Netflix and other streaming channels. All items are high-end with chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler for the beach at your disposal.<br/><br/>The grounds are stunning with every inch perfectly manicured with deep lush tropical foliage.

More than I expected
Reviewed on 2022-04-06 by Christi M. , Elk Grove, CA United States1) fancy beachfront resort
2) beach house AirBnB
3) cheaper condo
We opted for the cheaper condo which was The Cliffs at Princeville thinking we'd skimp on lodging to afford more adventures. Well we were not skimping AT ALL.
Everything about The Cliffs was lovely! The condo itself was so spacious - with balconies on both front and back, sunrise and sunset. The master suite is enormous! The upstairs loft was plenty big enough for my 3 teenagers. The condo did not feel old or dated in any way and was appointed with everything we could need - ice cooler, boogie boards, beach chairs & umbrella. The kitchen was also well stocked with lots of dishes and appliances. The location, while not walkable to the beach, was a short drive to beach, grocery and many hikes. Walking out to the cliffs was a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset or the whales.
We loved being on the North Shore. It is SO MUCH more beautiful than other parts of the island. And Hanalei has a nice laid back vibe - nothing posh or pretentious.
The staff at The Cliffs was helpful. I loved the food trucks that would come most nights for a lazy dinner option. The pool and spa area were not crowded and well kept. The grounds are lovely too.
Highly recommend.
