Amazing honeymoon spot

We stayed at the Princeville for the last 3 nights of our honeymoon after a week in Maui. From the very start it was pure luxury. We would definitely recommend spending more time there if you can afford to! The room was great with the "magic window" as promised, and we had a partial ocean view. The endless pool and private beach were wonderful treats. We attended the luau the first night we were there, and while it was pricey, it was definitely worth it....great food, great entertainment and seemingly endless mai tais and midori sours. The only possible drawback to the hotel might be the extremely costly restaurants. We dined elsewhere for most meals, but stopped for coffee and dessert on our last night. The total for one (shared dessert) and one pot (2 cups) of coffee was somewhere in the $40 range. It was good, but I'm not sure it was THAT good. That being said, I can hardly complain because absolutely everything was top notch and high class.
Hotel needs updating!!

Stayed here for 3 days after staying on south side of the island at Grand Hyatt for 4 days (absolutely beautiful hotel). Had high expectations for Princeville given price. Hotel is in a great location and golf course was worth it, but hotel is badly in need of renovating. The hallways smelled very musty, landscaping was not kept up and food was outrageously priced. Rooms were clean, but everything just seemed old. We heard they were planning a renovation but it has been delayed. Can't beat the view from the oceanview rooms. Beach is nice and Hanalei has several dining options. We ate breakfast at the Princeville Golf Course rather than the hotel.

The views from this hotel are breathtaking, which is probably why it costs so much. The staff was extremely friendly; they always called us by name. The food was overpriced, $10 for a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for my son, although he ate free if we were dining as well. The room did smell a little, and had a humidity problem. Our swimsuits never dried out even when they were left all day and night. The bathroom was a little tacky, something I would expect in Vegas. But the location and view make up for everything.
Prime real estate

What makes this hotel is the location. Arguably the best real estate on the island in terms of scenic beauty, nowhere else on the island does the scenery compare. The rooms are mediocre, does not compare to the Las Vegas hotels I have been at, maybe I'm spoiled.
Too many $ extras

Although we knew the cost for a view room would be high, we were shocked at how much "extras" you had to pay for -the necklace on the bed, the room spray, parking, aromatherapy toiletries - you could use them but if you wanted to keep them, you had to buy them in the gift store or be charged to your room. For a luxury hotel, most of the "luxuries" were not included in the high room price.
