Pros: The interior of Great Vacations Retreats' condo was much more lavish and beautiful than we expected. The inside is quite accommodating, with a pleasing, spacious layout and comfortable beds. The hot tub was relaxing and quiet. We could hear the sound of the ocean at night. It was pleasant to watch the birds on the rooftops from the outside upper balcony. Washer and dryer were large and functioned well. Laundry detergent was in the cupboard. The car rental was easy. We had no issues picking up or returning the car. Everything we needed for the beach was provided: snorkel equipment, beach towels, surf board, cooler . . .Cons: The pool could have been warmer. The gated community had a lot of neighbors and light on every door that made it hard to see the stars at night though we eventually discovered we could walk up the road to the golf course and walk that path at night, which was nice. The biggest concern was the location, which required significant driving every day to get to the things we wanted to do such as hike at Waimea Canyon, take a boat tour of the Na' Pali Coast, and visit Poipu Beach. We drove a lot because of where we stayed.
This is a beautiful place to bring the family if you want to do activities near Princeville.
