The Cliffs Resort Princeville Reviews




July 2024
Wonderful rental at the Cliffs resort. Unit was very clean and much more spacious than expected based on the pictures. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, beach cooler, chairs and other fun items for the kids. We could not get the DVD player to work but it didn't matter since the TV had Netflicks. The owner went above and beyond for us. Sending detailed information for a late check-in, suggestions of local points of interest and helping me retrieve a favorite necklace we left behind. The resort was welcoming/helpful even for guests of a privately owned unit. Resort amenities (pool, puzzle/book library, tennis, pickle ball) and activities (Yoga, Lei making, Hula lessons, etc) were great. My kids did not want to leave the pool for the beach! I hope to return sooner rather than later :)

We had a great stay beautiful view ! Your new kitchen was awesome ! We had problems with your outlets they sparked and caused my charging systems to short out so I was having difficulty charging my devices because when it shorted out it fried my cords and cubes . Otherwise we had a great time . Thank you for being great host

We only stayed in this unit for 3 nights, but it was wonderful. Nice, private lanai with wonderful views. Very well equipped in kitchen and beach gear. Some newer beach chairs could be an improvement. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

This condo met and exceeded our expectations! The location is perfect for exploring Kauai's north and east coasts. The view to the ocean is incredible with spouting whales, albatross, rainbows and both sunsets and sunrises (condo faces north). The condo is well equipped and the pool/lagoon and 2 hot tubes are lovely. Staff was attentive and the entire facility is clean. The only downside is we had to leave after 6 nights!

This ground floor condo was spacious, well equipped, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring northern Kauai or relaxing on the property. We stayed 5 days and saw many native birds and humpbacks while sitting on our lanai. I would highly recommend this beautiful home away from home!

The property itself is in a lovely area of princeville and the unit itself in a prime location on the property. Everything is as pictured, the unit is comfortable and bright, with an amazing view. There are lots of birds, including chickens, that begin crowing in the very early morning, so be aware if that might be a concern.

Beautiful home - fantastic ocean view from the ground floor. Loved the new kitchen and really appreciated how clean and well appointed the whole condo is. Also quite impressed with how private and soundproof the building is. Large families around us and hardly noticeable. Front desk very responsive to fixing small issue like a stuck patio door lock. We rebooked immediately for next year.

Nice condo with extras like boogie board,cooler, beach chairs etc. views and location are great. Pool and hot tubs as well as tennis and pickleball added some fun. Units are a little dark and on the ground floor we kept our drapes pulled in the bedroom to avoid exposure as people walked by.

The Cliff's has a fantastic staff. They worked with us. If you have a question call ahead. Lilly was very helpful. The owner of this condo is a good person to deal with. Be good to her. She deserves it. This condo is Ocean Front. You can see the sea from the kitchen, the living room, and the walk out patio. We saw many Humpback Whales from all these areas. Your bedroom has a walkout (not ocean view).

The property is incredible, with great ocean views. The condo itself is nice, with a great kitchen, a comfy couch and spacious master. But the ocean views behind the condo separate this place from others. We saw whales every morning and the various seating areas on the cliffs property is great for sunsets and sunrises. Also the pool is top notch and they have a playground for the kids. Perfect stay!

Wonderful stay, place is perfectly situated closest to ocean cliffs. Would suggest a couple of things: 1) adding a bedroom a/c if possible 2)updating a couple of beach chairs 3)just a few minor kitchen supplies would help such as salt and pepper although not sure resort cleaning crew allows it as other people we talked to said their kitchen had none? But minor items, place is as advertised, The Cliffs is a great facility, would definitely stay here again, thanks Catherine for being a wonderful host and answering all our questions in a timely manner.

My biggest regret is not staying at this location longer! I loved the area, beautiful surroundings! Very quiet location, many activities to do at property. The views were absolutely stunning! Many fun things to do not far from princeville, lots of good places to eat close by. The check in at the property was simple, the ladies at the reception desk were super helpful. The pool was so much fun, we spent time at the pool every evening and the ambiance was peaceful and relaxing. I loved the room, offered many accessories to use - chairs, sand toys, etc. plenty of towels very clean. Property owners quick to respond. I highly recommend staying here! I can’t wait to come back!

I found this spot a year ago and fell in love with it. So much so, planned my whole time in Hawaii around this availability. Great location! Great complex! Great communication! Perfect for our stay. Its location makes it an ideal home base for all of your North Shore adventures.

Our stay here was short but memorable. There was nothing quite like the incredible views from the lanai, from sipping your morning coffee to watching the sunset while BBQing. Very comfortable, clean unit that met our needs. We enjoyed the beach, time by the pool and were even lucky to be there for a welcome reception with food and mai tais! Thanks!

Condo was great for our family. Beautiful view of the ocean from the patio and kitchen, a lot of grass area for the kids to run around. Condo had all the essentials for us. Easy drive to Hanalei Beach. Would definitely stay again.

We had a last minute schedule change on another rental we were at and we were so fortunate to be able to move to this unit. Catherine was a great host, responsive and easy to communicate with. The view is AMAZING! We watched the sunrise and set everyday while eating and drinking on the ground floor, easy access lanai. There is a nice bbq area where we cooked right out front. I have two small children and the pullout couch was great for my kiddos. The condo has everything we needed plus some. We can’t wait to come back to this Princeville Paradise!

If you love the sounds and the views of the North Shore, then you will LOVE this place. So close to the beautiful beach of Hanalei.Catherine and Vince really provide you with all the things you’ll need as well such as chairs, ice chest, info on places to go etc. we will definitely be back. We even saw a whale our first day here. Thank you!!!

We enjoyed being able to look out to the ocean and see whales. The location was excellent. The condo was just fine, though it did not have a corkscrew or a baking pan. It was all there and everything worked.


Wendy W.

We loved walking out on the lanai and watching the water while we ate!! We wished the telescope worked because the whales were out there!! The unit is a bit dated but had everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer inside was GOLDEN!! We loved the location and the amenities. We surprised the management when we arrived but they were awesome to help us!! Would love to stay again!! THANKS!!!

Our children surprised us with a trip to Kauai for our 50th wedding anniversary. What a surprise to wake up and find out 11 of you are going to Hawaii! We had 3 units at the Cliffs and my husband and I stayed in this unit. The location of this unit is unbeatable. Absolutely amazing to sit on the lanai and watch the humpback whales breach out of the water. The unit itself is dated. Could definitely use some updating BUT the bed is comfortable and the unit is clean. We had an amazing time and will look at booking again!


Kateryna Z.

The condo is nice and clean. It was our first visit to the Kawaii; I think it was a perfect place for the first time. Good location; you can walk to the beach. Ideal for four people.

December 2022
The condo and complex was perfect for our family of 4. The condo is simple, but had everything we needed. Ocean views are just amazing. We saw whales out the sliding door. The hosts were very responsive and professional, always appreciated. The beach chairs and boogie boards were great to have. The bedroom is spacious. Having 2 full baths is always a bonus. And the pullout sectional was great for our kids. The Cliffs is a really nice complex. Pools, hot tubs, and all the activities like shuffleboard, pickleball, basketball were perfect for the kids. We would definitely rent this unit again!

This was a great experience, from reception to load out. When we had issues, owner was responsive. Suggest using water fill station at clubhouse for drinking water and ice cubes . great proximity to Anini beach. Beach chairs, Boogie boards and cooler on site were a nice touch.


Catherine F.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cliffs! The complex grounds are well-maintained and the check-in process was a breeze. The condo was clean and well-stocked. The views (especially the sunsets) were fantastic and we enjoyed all of our meals on the lanai. The kitchen had everything needed. The bathrooms were equipped with shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, and plenty of towels. The bedroom is very spacious and the bed was comfortable. Beach chairs, body boards, beach towels, and a cooler are a nice touch. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was also a bonus. The complex pool and BBQ units were great. (Weber BBQs are very clean!) Overall, fantastic stay and a great condo.

We had a great stay at Vince and Catherine’s condo at the Cliffs! Everything was as described. Bathrooms are a really nice size, pull out bed in living room works perfect for the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool. The view from the condo was great, can’t beat it! The condo worked perfectly for us, thank you!

We had such an amazing stay at The Cliffs! We were extremely satisfied with the condo itself, and it was even better than the photos. The beach chairs/cooler were a great bonus for our days spent at the beach! The view is absolutely incredible, and we loved having our morning coffee out on the lawn. It was the perfect place to come back to after a busy day exploring the island. Highly recommend!

Family of 4, including two teens. We loved the location. Great views from the condo and we loved walking right out onto the lawn to enjoy the view and watch sunsets. Inside, some items were a bit dated, but there was plenty of space for four of us and having two full bathrooms was a big plus. It was also really great to have beach items available for use (beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, etc). Overall a great place to stay.

The condo offers exactly what my heart is asking for; quiet, cozy and amazing view. The hosts were spectacular with giving us recommendations about car rental way ahead of time, food trucks and answering all questions and solving the mishaps promptly. This place surely holds a special place in our memories.

The owners were wonderful and took care of a TV connection problem for us right away. The condo is dated but has had a few upgrades including flooring and one bathroom. Unfortunately the bed and living room furniture need to be replaced. The appliances in the kitchen need to be updated and some of them are Rusty. We did enjoy our stay and we give it a 6.5 rating overall

The condo was in a perfect location. The ocean has some amazing views including WHALES morning, noon, and night. I recommend this condo and this property in the entirety. The process was extremely easy from start to finish and fast responses to any and all questions that were addressed. The only downfall was the water in the master bedroom filled up in the shower and wouldn't drain and the bath tub drain didn't plug but it didn't make it or break it we were in Hawaii. Quick note...grills are a short distance from patio if grilling some grub. Thanks again for the wonderful stay, already looking into returning next year

The beautiful view of the ocean makes up for anything lacking on the inside. Not the most aesthetically pleasing and could use some upgrades but when your in Kauai you probably aren’t spending time inside the condo. Overall I would recommend!

The kitchen is in need of updating. The refrigerator had no ice maker which was a big disappointment for a vacation rental. We are owners at the Cliffs and expected much better accommodations.


Carl B.
December 2021
OMG, the views from Vince's condo are spectacular! The ground floor unit makes it easy to just walk out onto the lawn and take it all in. We enjoyed the roar of the surf below the cliff and glimpsed whales not far from shore. It's located in a gorgeous resort community with beautifully maintained grounds. We cooked dinner using the high-end gas grilles on site and enjoyed some time at the pool/hot tub. I would definitely return to this unit.

The place was great. The view amazing and the two bathrooms the best. This way I had one and my husband had one. I love Princeville and it is the area we like to stay. This is our second trip here. I would highly recomment this place. The full kitchen is wonderful and we used the BBQ's right around the corner with the amazing view of the ocean... Thanks for everything Catherine, we will be back.

Beautiful, quite, private, welcoming. Had an amazing view and offers local food vendors, makes it simple and easy day from play ground to pool to fire grilled pizza. Did not hear one single loud disturbing sound. The roosters really make it authentic. Beautiful landscaping. Beautiful view from this room!!!

This property was as described. We have used VRBO and stayed at The Cliffs a number of times and not every experience has been great. This one was, for sure. The ocean front view is spectacular. The accommodations are fine, though the kitchen appliances are older but everything did work fine. A few suggestions for the owners: It would be handy to have instructions for how to use the TVs and remotes. Each TV worked differently, and it took us a couple days to figure out how to use them. Also, a bedside digital clock would be appreciated, as well as a potato peeler! During this "Covid" trip, we did nearly all of our cooking in in the condo. We pretty much found everything that we needed. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for an awesome vacation experience!

The photos do not do this place justice! The views from the patio/outdoor dining area are just so beautiful. We ate dinner out there every night and watched the sunset. Two bathrooms, great living space, big kitchen - this place has everything you need. Princeville is a great location to stay. I highly recommend this spot :)

Just Spent a month here. This is our second time staying in the same unit. Beautiful resort. Listing is as advertised and perfect.



July 2021
My guy and I had a fabulous time at The Cliffs property. What can I say, the view is absolutely stunning, and the location is central to Queensbath, HIdeaway Beach, and Foodlands where you'll want to pick up some groceries. We loved taking advantage of the bicycles you can rent thru the main office, as well as the lovely pool and hot tub after a day of hiking and biking. The condo is so pretty, spacious, and relaxing. We loved watching the geese and other beautiful birds while sitting on the back porch, and of course the sunset. A truly blissful vacation that will never be forgotten. In fact, we're already discussing when we can come back!

The condo was well furnished and comfortable..The real plum was the Water and sunset views from the living area,kitchen and lanai.The wet area was excellent we swam and hot tubbed most every day.I can’t think of a better place to stay in Kaua’i.

Clean, nicely furnished, ocean view, but narrow railroad Flat with bedroom at parking lot end & narrow ocean view at the other from kitchen & lanai. View is somewhat partial as fence/hedge at northern end of property visible. Debated relying upon screen door's flimsy lock to get night air into bedroom for sleeping as parking lot at this scene f flat. Friendly staff at complex headquarters & check-in. TV had no directions to operate Spectrum cable system to access channels & operate DVD & manuals were for equipment not present, for example Emerson DVD player, which was now replaced with Philips. Philips DVD manual was present, but cover showed a DVD remote not present. Internet took a lengthy phone call to straighten out as unit's internet was not listed as an option, ( not owner's fault.) Check-in desk provided phone number for internet company at check-in, so able to straighten out internet connection. But all this took time away from relaxing. Owner aware of problems as e-mailed them. They sent a man to take care of Spectrum cable access, who was surprised no directions were present. Owner later complained to me $37.50 was charge for man coming out.

This property is especially nice for those with children. My grandchildren visited daily during my stay and love the pool and playground. It was especially nice to know there is an adult-only pool and hot tub so the kids are not an irritant to the adults.

We’ve stayed at this facility at much nicer unit which is why we came back, unit not nearly as nicely furnished old appliances. Furniture in living room and bedroom nice, bathrooms remodeled. Problem was construction noise in unit above us for two days which meant siting on patio and watching ocean, which s why we came in first place was unpleasant. When we brought issue to owners attention we were not satisfied with her offer of a 10% reduction in rate.

Great stay. Was a little hot with no AC but still a great stay and location
