Kauai: The Hotel

2 years, 5 months old

Our hotel is a timeshare of my parents. They visited here 5 years ago for their 25 anniversary and caught the bug and have been back 4 times since. It is the Westin Princeville. Princeville being the name of the town we stayed in. We were in villas so we had a 2 bedroom unit with a full kitchen and living room attached. My parents took the master and Joe, B and I have the second bedroom. Both of my sisters had their own studios (same room as us), it just wasn't attached to our unit. We all had our own balconies. I didn't get a picture of the main living space but it was a great size for us. We ate most of our breakfast and lunches in the room because we had a full kitchen. We also were able to make dinner a few nights in our room. The living space was perfect for when B napped so that we didn't need to stay in the dark in the room with him. Sometimes I napped with him and sometimes I sat on the balcony or went back to the living room.

Our room as we walked in the door. It was to the right a bit and if we turned to the left we walked down the hallway to the joint area. We also had a washer/dryer here (LOVE!). The bathroom was to the right in the hallway with a kitchenette space to the left.



The kitchenette had a full fridge, microwave, small dishwasher and two stove burners. It would have been perfect even just for the 3 of us to make meals but we mostly used the larger kitchen.



The bathroom had a big vanity, separate tub and standing shower and then a room for the toilet. It was huge! And shutters opened up by the bathtub so you could see into the entire room.





Our room was set up like a normal hotel mostly. A queen bed and then a sofa that pulled out to a queen. Then a dresser, tv and bistro table. We used the sofa bed every night but put it back in every day so we had more room to move around. It was a really nice size for the 3 of us.



We also had a huge walk in closet by the front door that was big enough to put an open pack n play if you need a separate space for a baby. We kept our luggage and all our carry on stuff in there. It kept our room nice and organized.

I didn't get a picture of the balcony but this was our view out.




One afternoon, I walked around the grounds to take some pictures so I'll add those here. The website has some great stock photos if you are really interested. westinprinceville.com.

Kauai is the mountainous island so the resorts are set up on top of cliffs with beaches below. Some have access, some don't. Ours had a beach access but it wasn't very easy to get it so I never walked down there. It makes for a great view though. This was the lawn where you can cookout. They also have weddings and massages out here.





This was the main building that held the lobby, restaurant, marketplace, exercise room, and kids club. The pool wrapped around the whole back of the grounds and it was Awesome. You'll see lots of pictures from the kiddie pool but it wrapped around and connected to make for more secluded areas. Most of it was either 3 ft or 5 ft deep which was nice. It was beautiful. They also had grills and patios spread throughout that you can use (which we did).



Onto Day 2!
