Anyone ever use the beach and pool at the hotel if your not staying there?
Princeville Hotel beach if not staying there?We used the beach and beach chairs, but did not go in the pool. Bar staff came around and offered drinks. No one seemed concerned with whether or not we were staying at the resort or not.
Princeville Hotel beach if not staying there?I wouldn%26#39;t.
You can use the beach. It is public. Not the pool and trust me they throw you out if not a guest. Also don%26#39;t even try sitting on the hammocks or lounge chairs.
Thanks for the help. How did you get to the beach?
It%26#39;s not that great of a beach.
Yes, there are much better beaches than the one in front of the Princeville - get the Ultimate Kauai Revealed to see where all the great beaches are. Some have great snorkeling, some are only safe for walking along, but Kauai has plenty to choose from. Great spot to watch the sunset. :)
100% correct on the beach. There are so many within 15 minutes. Why bother. Leave it to the guests of the hotel and HBR who use it as well.
Agree that the Princeville beach is highly overated, especially since there are other much more beautiful beaches, snorkeling, and views,available, and you will not get tossed out.
We had that experience on Maui, at the Hyatt. We had been at the beach, and the strong trades were wipping the sand thru the air. So, for shelter, we walked to the other side of the hedge, and layed down on one of their lounges. lots of em available.
The plan was to just get a little sun, and then go to the swim up bar for a libation. Good plan, didnt work.
Couldnt have been more than 5 mintues and a fellow in suit and tie....SUIT AND TIE ??........comes up and asks if we are guests of the hotel. I tell him no, and our plan to use the swim up bar.
Sorry Charlie....hotel guests only....well, don%26#39;t much care to be where we are not wanted, nor be glared at by the longers who did belong.
I told him, very politely, we were leaving and going to where we could really have some fun at the old and funkie Poineer Inn, and listen to the band play Jimmy Buffet music. Visit with friendly folks, and have a fun time. Not a suit tie would be in sight.
Erica asked '; How did he know we were not guests ?';....Hmmmm, look at the color of towels all these people have spread on their coveted lounges.....BROWN '; Yep, what color our ours ?...Hmmmm...BLUE ! Big give away, time to go.
Actually didnt have a problem with that, as those guests are paying about 500 plus a night to stay there, and they should be the ones enjoying the ammenties of the five star....not us enterlopers.
So, after that, we do not use any lounges, at hotels, but the beaches are open to all.
We walk past SHIPWRECK at the Hyatt, on Kauai, quite often,and
see the guests laying on their wood/hooded lounges that they have to rent.
So, you can bet your okole, that we dont snug up on one of those. Just pasing thru pardner !
Yep, lots of other places to enjoy the beach and snorkeling up on Kuai%26#39;s north shore. Tunnels, Kee, Hanalei,and Aninin are just a few.
Have fun.

Loved your story Denny !
On our first trip I enjoyed laying in one of the Princeville hammocks and watching a hotel representative approach my wife and toss her out of one of their lounge chairs. Of course it ticked her off even more that she got ejected and I didn%26#39;t. I love reminding her about that every once in awhile.
