This was our first stay in Princeville, we usually stay in Hanalei Bay. We liked the fact that we were close to the grocery and other stores, the farmers market, and a good area for running and walking. We had hoped beach access would be a little easier: Hideaways was a hike with rope rails down a steep trail and Pu'u Poa, off 1 Hotel property was a long walk down 75-100 cement steps. Queens bath was also walkable, but again a steep trail down and back. The drive to Hanalei Bay was 5-10 mins though, where we spent most of our beach time. Princeville does get you onto Kuhio Hwy sooner to get to various activities on the South side.
The condo itself was pretty good: Quiet, with a comfortable bed, good size rooms, nice lanai for morning coffee, AC. The bedroom is on the parking lot side and altho there were blinds, they did not block out the light very well for sleeping -- I would suggest installing a rod with dark curtain. It was pretty well stocked with necessities, but I did call the manager for a (missing) cooler and she brought one to us the next day. I was surprised, with there being a glass dining room table, that there were no placemats. Also cloth napkins would be a good touch. If you walk to the end of the cart path... marvelous spot for sunsets :-) Overall, it was a good stay!
