With so many great pictures and reviews we looked forward to our stay in Princeville. But there are things you can't see in pictures that make a stay less than enjoyable. Let me start by saying what we enjoyed: The view from the unit is awesome, great location for North Shore activities, the trade wind breezes keep the unit cool 24/7, you can enjoy some of the resort amenities - pool, etc.
But what made the stay less than enjoyable was the lack of host home basic maintenance and lack of host communication. We contacted the host about the following issues but didn't get a response for 2 days or more. And he then promised to send a handyman - no one ever showed up. The slider screen door was jammed shut, therefore no way to get out to the unit sitting area or grassy area without walking out the front door and around the building. Ceiling fan was stuck on high volume and fan remote was broken. (Hubby took remote apart, fixed the dip switches, so we could adjust fan volume from low to high as needed). Modem was out for more than a day, no TV and no Internet. TV remote battery dead. No extra batteries onsite to replace. Part of one outlet dead. Asked host multiple times before and while there, where we could dispose of trash at the resort. Crickets. Had to put trash and food scraps bags in rental car and quietly dump at various locations. Super inconvenient. We both commented we would stay at this resort again, no question about that. But not this unit.
