The Cliffs Club

We stayed here the first week of Feb 2016. We were in building 5 on the second floor with an ocean view out back and pool view out front. The room was clean and well furnished. The pool and grounds were nice and quiet. It has a bit of an older (senior) vibe to it though. We paid about 950 for a week. Can’t beat the price! We enjoyed our time in Princeville.

Solid 3 stars for location and a very helpful concierge staff. We were initially given a handicap-​equipped unit, something we did not request. We were transferred to a more suitable unit the following day. This resort continues efforts to upgrade its accommodations and facilities.

We booked the Travelzoo deal — 5 nights for $ 749 and boy were we happy we did! Place was beautiful and the staff were really helpful and welcoming.
Condos were very spacious. Bedroom was huge! and it was awesome to have 2 full bathrooms. Kitchen came with everything we needed (blender, pots, pans, bottle opener, tupperware, etc.) and the view from our 2^nd floor unit was great! We could see the ocean and even saw whales breeching during dinner!
Internet was very fast and we had no problems connecting.
Would definitely come back and stay here again. Only downside is you’re a bit removed from the other parts of the island and it was alot of driving going down to the south shore for snorkeling, etc. but the North Shore is definitely my favorite side. You can take bikes from the Cliffs and cycle to the St. Regis for drinks and watch the waves/​sunset. It’s also very close to Foodland where you can purchase groceries, souvenirs, etc.

It’s wonderful here. Everything is clean and we have a lot of memories here. It is located in a great spot with grocery stores nearby and seems to be overall quiet regardless of when you come visit.

I am fresh off my stay in the newly renovated building 3. I have to say the Cliffs knocked it out of the park once again. The unit I was in (3102) was magnificent. The attention to detail in the bathrooms and kitchen were standouts. There is nothing more important that having a great shower after an active day on the North Shore. The bathroom makeovers provided a functional and aesthetically pleasing place to wash off the sand and sweat of the day.
The kitchen is galley style and provides enough space for two people to share meal prep duties. All the essential items are there and the dishwasher is whisper silent as not to disturb your trip to paradise.
The new living room furniture is firm where needed, comfy and inviting. The best part is that the sleeper is actually comfortable and great for allowing your stay to be shared by a party of 4.
The new decorator items bring Hawaii into your unit and are some of the best I’ve encountered on any island location I have stayed.
The Cliffs is in the process of adding solar power to the property and the already attentive staff is going overboard to keep guests up to date and minimize any inconvenience. My hat is off to the everyone who works at the Cliffs and they really do treat you like Ohana.
The pool is recently updated and offers a break from the beach if you desire one. Don’t overlook on site bike rentals as it gives you the best opportunity to explore Princeville and find your own perfect photo/​selfie spot.
In short, you could stay at other North Shore locations but all you would do is pay too much money and be disappointed in the end. To stay at the Cliffs is to love the Cliffs. Aloha!
Room Tip: Any room in Buildings 1, 2 or 3 are newly remodeled. Building 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 have the best water views.

Our first room was next to construction. next day was a much better view. Nice pool and hot tub. full kitchen. 2 bath. flat screen T.V. wire less was slow but usable.

The units are individually owned, so I imagine there is quite a bit of variety there. I will limit this review to the cliffs in general. The units have nice layouts. I think they all have a loft area, and they all have patios or decks with deep overhangs. This is nice because you can leave the windows/​sliding glass doors open all the time, even in the rain without rain getting in. We experienced very nice breezes through the unit. What was most frustrating, and why I would never recommend this property, is the noise. Every single flipping day, from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., we got to listen to lawn mowers, gas powered leaf blowers, gas powered weed trimmers, and wood chippers. Additionally, while we were there, there was construction on a nearby unit, so we got to listen to hammers and jack hammers. And, they were doing some trenching on the property so there were also backhoes driving around. It was so noisy. My home is much, much quieter. Mercifully, they do not do work on the weekends, but we still had to either endure tremendous amounts of noise during the week, or vacate the premises. Needless to say, it did not make for a relaxing vacation. Next time, I will look to rent a house, or stay in a resort that appreciates that people on vacation want to relax.

Staying here and so far so good. Nice pool. Kid friendly with cave like swimming area and playground. Nice cleaning service. Clean property. Inside is nice. Updated kitchen. Ice maker. Great views. Close to many attractions. Comfortable.

John! I didn’t say anything about the weather! It was wonderful! I was just giving my experience at this location! And I do believe my comments were valid! Not always going to get good reviews. And I explained its a gamble what kind of room you get. It was misleading when booked at your place. And not a good way to approach what I said. I don’t have high expat ions by any means!!! I’m a southern girl who looked up the place to see what I knew I could do being as I had a 7mth old at the time of my stay. I do plan to come back but wouldn’t stay there again. Like I said the staff was not friendly. I would say 2 were out of who I encountered. And yes I’m very well aware that you can’t predict how the fish are going to bite. Don’t try and twist my words around!

Great place, awesome views& beautiful weather. We stayed here two times in three years and we love it here in KAUI… #ourfab#fav#vacation#spot.
One thing that I would recommend, for the condo we are in here at the cliffs is, lighting inside our condo and bathroom updates.
I mean, it’s just ok not what we had in our last stay here and darker than ever. To get dressed we have to thank god for the sunlight in the morning. At night we full dull lighting lol kinda sucked.
The kitchen and dining area were nice, pleasant and our view was to die for. The people here were mostly all kind and so nice. Not everyone though. We came across a excellent small joint called bubba burgers our daughter couldn’t stop having one per day lol.
The people were nice in the location closest to the cliffs but the other location not close but needed niceness put into their their morning coffee. Lol I never experienced this before but yes. I was surprised… but I did not let that bother me.
That’s all for now …
Well we are still here and plan to leave out in a few days and I will give an update on our stay once again… see you guys later.

Had a wonderful stay at the cliffs! Definitely a Mello, laid back atmosphere, but I enjoyed every minute of it! I would absolutely return in the future! The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating!

Rooms are huge, we had a end unit and it was larger, our kitchen had a partial ocean view. Clean and nice! Time share policy is unusual they ask you to wash your dishes upon departure and daily towel service is unavailable, they tell you to use washer in room and purchase detergent at front counter. Pool and facilities are ok, nothing exciting or different.
The plus is the ocean view and state bird the nene goose roaming around property freely. Location is far from most Kauai attractions and traffic to get to theories side is island is congested. If you want isolation and quiet time this is the place to go, thus have a 10pm quiet time.

We had a wonderful stay here. The crowd was older and we didn’t see many families. But it was peaceful and quiet. The condo was more than enough for our stay. Full kitchen, two patio’s, two bathrooms. King size bed and fold out sleeper sofa. It was accommodated four people very easily.
We had no problems with anything. What else is there to say, it was a smooth visit.
There is no a/​c units. We slept every night with windows open and it was cool enough from the ocean breeze.

Perfect in Paradise and a bonus was two Lanai’s. TWO! Full kitchen, washer/​dryer inside the unit. Fully equipped kitchen. Spacious, quiet, clean, well manicured grounds. Friendly staff. Waterfall pools and gazebo w/​BBQ and chairs. Loved this place.

Rented a ground floor 1 bedroom condo for a week. (Note: if you brought a lot of heavy weight crap with you and have a 3^rd floor room, there are NO elevators). Was very happy with the room & amenities. Had a jungle view, not ocean. Was quiet & private. Ate meals on the patio, was visited by birds, ubiquitous Kauai chickens & 2 hungry semi-​feral cats. Bought some Friskies cat food and the cats became friendly after the 2^nd nite.
Big bedroom. Nice furniture. Comfortable bed, though Bambie did remark that it was a little too firm for her back. I liked it fine.
Full kitchen has all the tools you need.
There are two full bathrooms
50″ flat screen standard definition TV, AM/​FM stereo receiver with I-​pod connection, DVD player. Wi-​Fi speed is pretty fast for Kauai, probably 4Meg download speed
All staff cheerful & helpful. No time-​share hard sell. I traded my week from RCI, staff never mentioned a time-​share promo.
Nice home away from home.

I’ve kicked it here for a week in the past and even though it ain’t beachfront, the views are hella ill.
The units are like high-​end condos, replete with every amenity you could want (dope kitchen, two bathrooms, washer/​dryer, large lanai, full living room, tons of windows which bring in the ocean air, TVs, a sweet dining room)…and you’re on fuckin Kauai.
Don’t forget, you get all kinds of outdoor shit to enjoy like awesome pools, tennis courts, hiking trails… oh, and did I tell you about the views? Gotdayuuum
Mahalo.

I absolutely loved my stay here! Did not want to leave…
This was my first visit to Hawaii. I didn’t know what to expect as far as accommodations go because I saw mixed reviews but none the less loved everything.
The condo itself was clean and renovated. We were on the 3^rd floor. There is no air conditioning but you don’t need it with the fans and open air windows. Our view of the grounds and a little ocean were beautiful. I love the décor and that it has a full kitchen and washer/​dryer. We sat on our balcony for breakfast every morning to watch the sunrise.
It saved us a ton of money by grocery shopping vs eating out every night. We usually cooked breakfast and grilled dinner. The actually grocery is a few miles away and we were literally there everyday.
The grounds are beautifully manicured. Grounds amenities include: Grills, picnic tables, hammocks, hot tub, pool, and beautiful foliage. There is actually a trail that leads to the ocean which is @ your own risk even though the signs warn otherwise. Small water fall at the end. There is another secret beach if you walk to the St. Regis, Princeville. Take a right @ the tennis courts, steep trail and no parking but worth the hike if your close to the area… My favorite snorkel area.
Hawaii is def. a non stop adventure!

Great location
Great view on the bluff
Well manicured and helpful desk
Wifi is acceptable and so nice to have a pool, tennis courts on site
$ 75 fee includes bike, tennis and putting green– unkempt–
Great jumping iff pt for swimming in haena and Hanslei bay
Biggest minus is no beach — up 1000 ft above

No, this place isn’t the newest, most modern place, but given the price and location, it’s very reasonably priced.
Our condo was great — the furniture wasn’t particularly new or modern but it was in very good shape. The large lanai was perfect for breakfasts and dinners at home — lots of space with a big table to actually eat a full meal out there. The condo technically sleeps four, though I think four people would have been a tight squeeze (though the two bathrooms help considerably). The in-​unit washer/​dryer is also key.
The facilities on the property are pretty decent — there’s a swimming pool, a couple of hot tubs, a couple of tennis courts and a basketball court. The front desk/​concierge has all sorts of sporting equipment for use by hotel guests.
The Cliffs is just a short drive from Hanalei — 10 – 15 minutes — and is perfect for getting to all of the sites on the north shore.

The Cliffs property and unit 4205, were better than we imagined. The unit was well decorated, had everything we needed and felt like a home. The unit has a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset to the west, during the summer. It was also well stocked with almost everything you’d need.
The pools and hot tub area was great. I really appreciated the 18yr+ pool and hot tub. It was nice to avoid the splashing and be able to relax with a book. We also loved the adirondack chairs at the edge of the Cliff property, overlooking the ocean. What an amazing view, in the winter you can see whales. Go out there at night with a blanket and you’ll see millions of stars. It was incredible!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very willing to offer recommendations and plan excursions. Their desk it is open till 10pm which is helpful if you need something late or you lock yourself out, like us.
We loved the north shore, so Princeville was a great location. There’s a nice running path in the neighborhood and a grocery store nearby.
I’d say the downside to this property is some units don’t have a/​c, so everyone keeps their windows open. We were never hot. It was quiet about 75% of the time. But when a child is crying… for literally hours, boy can you hear it.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend it and we’ll be back. But we’ll come in the dry season because it did rain and was overcast a lot during our stay in the spring.
