The condo lived up to everything in the description and more. It exceeded my high expectations. The location on the bluff on the end unit puts you in a place that the rest of the resort have to walk out to for sunrise and sunset. YOU can just sit on your lanai and sip coffee to enjoy the views. And, we did. A lot. We saw several whales and dolphin pods swim by. (Thanks to the host for providing binoculars to bring the action up close!) Just watching the changing ocean was a favorite pastime.
What may not show up on the listing and pictures is the additional amenities and touches provided by the host. The binoculars, soft/fluffy towels, high thread count sheets on a very comfortable King bed, a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge on arrival. The list could go on. The resort is also well run and maintained. They have many nice activities you can join or just enjoy the pool, gym, and other amenities. The resort had very helpful concierge and front desk staff.
If you have any issues with stairs or walking a long distance, you should be aware that this is a second floor room and you must take a single staircase to access the unit. It is also 50-75 yards from the nearest parking. I have a disability that made this a bit challenging. But, the location was worth the extra effort. And, the resort folks allocated a disabled parking space as close as possible that literally had the unit number on it. (Meaning, only I could park there.)
Penny was an experienced host and it showed in her proactive communications to me. She also was very responsive and helpful. The local contact (Kristen) was also available on the one time I needed help in how to turn on a fan.
I highly recommend this unit if you're thinking about a trip to Princeville. It was wonderful, exceeded my expectations, and I plan to visit again in the future.
