We just got back from Kauai. The shuttle still runs between WPORV and the Princeville Resort and we could still use the beach chairs. The only change is you can't charge food and drinks to your room anymore. You must use cash or a credit card.

I wonder if the new hotel still offers the famous bloody Mary, which was a St Regis invention.

Some friends of ours are staying at The Princeville Resort. I had no idea what they were talking about, and now I know it's the former St. Regis. They got a good deal on three hotel rooms for five nights. I didn't see any good deals when I looked, but maybe they did. They are firefighters w/ wives, friends of Rick's. When they were talking about their trip to Kauai, my ears perks up a bit.
I told them we are staying at Shearwater next June for two weeks and described the view. They were unimpressed.
"No beach?" Nope. I guess they wouldn't be impressed with Westin Princeville either.

That's the one thing we didn't like about Princeville ... no beach even though going over to the St. Regis was nice. Plus it rained every. single. day. from about 9 am to 5 pm. in April a couple of years ago. It rains where we live, so we were unimpressed. Drove every day to the south shore.

Good luck trying to find a place “on the beach” in North Kauai- at least one that is affordable.

Yes, but that is not an issue for me. I didn't get their lack of enthusiasm for Shearwater. Maybe these three couples do not have the money restrictions we have always had. They seemed pretty young, but my youngest is 39 this year, so maybe that's why they seemed young. When we were their ages (and the ages of our kids), we could never have afforded a hotel room at that hotel. And the ocean view rooms look expensive. Shearwater has ocean view in every unit, but some are better than others. It's uniquely situated on the cliff with beautiful views.
I love Shearwater and Westin. I would stay in either/or resort on any trip over anything south. I love both and don't mind driving a bit to the beach. It's not far to some beautiful places.
