St Regis Princeville Resort (Kauai, Hawaii): review (SPECTACULAR island) M Kits: Kauai is known for it's incredible beauty, but not its not known for food, customer service, nightlife, resorts or shopping. So if you do come to Kauai expect to pay a lot of money for so so amenities. I have lived here for 10 years and the beauty never gets old, but everything else leaves much to desire. Come for the land and experience of a natural paradise. You're almost better off camping or renting a small cheap vacation rental because you'll be outdoors 95% of the time. The weather is always the same year round so you could literally sleep outside. All you would need is something to cover you from rain.

Excellent and fair evaluation of the hotel. Understatement: .food is very expensive. VERY expensive. Prices to stay can be astronomical. We have vacationed on Kaua'i for 30+ years and have watched the evolution of the hotel over those years, including a stay for the soft opening after the destruction of Hurricane 'Iniki. This iteration is not the best, my opinion. Previous ones were much more Hawai'ian yet still elegant. Lunch on the terrace was eliminated. Shame. Suggestion: eat in town to enjoy variety in Princeville and Hanalei. Otherwise, the View, the View, the View

I love your vids. Been following for some time. I even enjoy your vids on various airlines (might be my most favorite since I've flown cross- Atlantic a couple of times. in coach. But what I really want to know is do you tire of the luxury? It seems to me that over time, the more one has access to luxury, the more one needs-- the cup is never full. Nevertheless, your vids are very well-executed. I will say I enjoy viewing the landscapes more than actual resorts themselves.

Don't know when this video was taken, but I read about 100 HORRIBLE reviews on some of the trip websites. So bad I had to change my mind and not come here. Mind you that these reviews were taken after Princeville Resort bought out St. Regis. Evidently it is not St Regis anymore and is run down and horrible now.

Glad to know that you visited the North shore of Kauai, just before you got to the St. Regis, you drove my where I usually stay: Pali Ke Kua I am sure you also enjoyed Hanalei and the 11 mile drive to Kee beach too Happy New Year to you, always a pleasure to see / read your reviews

Hi I have been following you for a long time now. I just want to say that out of all the island rezorts you showed from Thailand, Maldives, Vietnam, and other islands, Hawaii rezorts was my least favourite. I dont know why the island gets so much undeserved attention.

I think folks going here would know that it was a more casual family oriented place, rather than a five star singles resort. If it's more affordable, the kids will be schlepped along. Even the screamers. Especially the screamers Yes, the scenery is mind blowing.

St Regis is one of my favorite hotel brand, but this one is really disapointing. I must say that the 5 last minutes are phenomenal. Overall, an amazing job on all you Hawaii's videos, now my wife is joining me for our Saturday ritual on our large TV screen: )

While I appreciate your attention to detail, the point of the St. Regis' location and lobby design is the drop-dead fantasy-like view of Hanalei Bay from the moment you enter the holtel. No one is noticing the floral arrangement or chandelier or anything else.

Unfortunately, this St. Regis property is lacking in all departments compared to most other St. Regis resorts. The lobby, spa, view, beach, food, everything. Even the crowds and noise level is unacceptable So disappointing compared to other Kauai resorts.
