Makai Club Resort Princeville, Princeville

Staying at the ground level of the building felt a bit like being in a damp walkout basement, but the room was surprisingly spacious. The service in Princeville was exceptional, extremely helpful and welcoming; I'll definitely return for that. The location was impeccable, with friendly and responsive staff, but it did give off a slightly artificial 'Disneyland' vibe. Unfortunately, the dining experience was limited to cottage cheese only. Overall, the price might have been worth it for the view and proximity to the best golf course in Hawaii.

The hotel is ideally located just east of the closed Hanelei bridge, offering easy access to Hanalei while providing tranquility. The rooms, though a bit musty, are spacious but could use more attention to tidiness. The service is friendly and helpful, embodying the Hawaiian spirit, but there were some misconceptions about local activities. The location is perfect for exploring Kauai, with breathtaking mountain views, ideal for all fitness levels. The dining experience, although not detailed, showcases homemade products. Overall, a decent value for the price.

The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious rooms, the convenience of the igloo cooler for day trips, and the overall comfort despite a slightly outdated decor. The friendly and helpful service from the local staff truly made our stay memorable. The location was beautiful, although some might find its artificial feel like a 'Disneyland'.
