ok so the views here are breathtaking, and the facilities and food very good, the rooms as you would expect for a hotel of this calibre, but the stand out is the friendliness of the staff - we have never experienced staff at a major hotel or resort who are so genuinely friendly and busting to make your experience optimal. In the end, this made for such a relaxing get-away. Would return in a heartbeat.

We used points/cash option and spent 3 nights at the St. Regis in Princeville. About a 30 minute walk on the beach/trail to Hanalei bay, we were able to surf twice a day and spent the rest of the time enjoying the chairs pool/beach side. Super nice and informative staff across the board. Gorgeous views from the room. We'll definitely be back!

This is my all time favorite hotel. The view alone is breath taking. I love eating muffins and hot chai on their balcony early in the morning. Or going out at night time to see the stars and the moon reflex on the ocean. They offer smores down on the beach on certain nights. The snorkeling on the beach is the best on Kauai. Lots of colorful fish. They have three hot tubes which is nice after being in the ocean to warm up. I like how it is not too hot for kids to warm up and to have their own hot tub. They have a great one foot pool area for the little little ones. They offer kayaking which we did to Hanalei Bay bridge $40/hr for all three of us. Turtle also can be found. Good signal internet - free to guest. Valet is part of the resort fee, very friendly and offer waters for your trips. Beach towels hand delivered to your beach chair. The service is excellent. Of the value of Sheraton vs St. Regis, here is the better value for you will pay $$ for ocean view there. You are close to the lighthouse, Hanalei (Saturday's farmers market), caves. Couldn't see paying $21 for a burger when Bubba's is $35 for all of us with shakes. Go to the south end of Kauai for more boogie board waves.

If your desire is to spend a perfect vacation in Hawaii, then you must travel to Kauai and treat yourself to an incredible experience by staying at the St. Regis Princeville Resort. From the breathtaking views, magnificent accommodations, outstanding food to the professional - very friendly - staff, there is no finer experience in the world. The St. Regis is simply a little piece of heaven here on Earth.
