Princeville Residence
this is a one hour drive from the airport so plan accordingly. in heavy traffic hours plan for more time.
the location is nice, but far removed from the multiple town/tourist/shopping areas you may want to go to. this is mostly a very large housing area. the happening areas are about 20 minutes drive in either direction. shopping, bars, eateries and more beaches
this home is very convenient to the Queens Bath pool (right next to trail) so you dont have to worry about parking. And after the dirt trail hike down and back up, it was so nice to have the shower, pools and relaxing chair to chill out.
there are several beaches directly in the area for ease of access. there is a craft and locally grown market on Wed and saturday which is very nice.
very close to the main entrance is a grocery store and several good eateries, including Shave Ice stand.
to access the room is a very tight circular staircase. caring suitcases was not an easy task. managing multiple trips up and down became a real issue for me with poor knees.
this is a nice one room space with small ensuite bathroom. the bed was very comfortable and there is plenty of space when you include the outside lani for eating and relaxing.
there is no AirCon, just fans and the tradewinds. during the day it was comfortable , and at night could be a bit of a chill. if you need 70 or cooler, this could be difficult for you. better to climatize quickly and do without air.
the kitchenette is lacking for a real cooking space, very small fridge, no ice maker, and hot plate only. there is a rollout cart to give additional space, but was not really helpful. dont plan on cooking much more than microwave style.
the pool in the court yard is comfortable, but not for swimming, just water exercise. the sound of the waterfall waters was very relaxing.
in general the space for the cost was not a good deal. I would have preferred a full appartment style accommodation for the cost
