Princeville Hotel Renovation Dates

Having just purchased the plane tickets and reserved the condo for my fiancee and my honeymoon in late October 2007, I%26#39;m getting a bit nervous with talk about the Princeville Hotel renovation. She%26#39;s thrilled that we%26#39;re going to Kauai (it was a surprise) and wants to stay in Princeville, but we just want to make sure our honeymoon is a great time.

We are staying at Pu%26#39;u Poa, which is right next to the Princeville Hotel. I%26#39;m concerned that the renovation may be going on during our stay there, and would limit access to certain restaurants, lounges, etc., and create lots of property noise. Am I needlessly concerned? Has there been any final confirmation on specific dates/stages of the renovation? Is Pu%26#39;u Poa far enough away that we wouldn%26#39;t even hear the renovation noise if it was going on? Can I possibly ask any more questions in one post? =)

Thank you in advance for all of your responses

Hi,

We were at Princeville last October and spoke with one of the lovely managers working in the lobby area. She was overseeing the florist who refills the magnificent urns around the lobby. She gave us all the dtails that she had learned at several staff meetings held to give out info on the upcoming rennovations. Now this was October %26#39;06 and maybe things have changed, but here goes. The bars, restaurants, spas etc. will remain open. They will begin construction in one area of the lobby with a curtain over the working area. Guests will be treated especially kindly so as not to interfer with their vacation. She did say that they would be offering some nice packages to bring in guests during this rennovation. I am very surprised to see this morning in the Maui newspaper that the Ritz Carlton will close for 6 months to do their rennovations this July. That%26#39;s the best I can do for you. Have a wonderful time!!!

Congratulations on your engagement! We%26#39;re also planning an October wedding and had chosen the Princeville Hotel as our venue. I called yesterday to start making arrangements and was told the renovations would begin Sept. 1 and last until after 2008 so we%26#39;d have to choose another venue. They, of course, recommended the Sheraton on the South Shore. It is their sister property.

Good Luck!

What is the number of your condo?

Regardless, Pu%26#39;u Poa is on the other side of the parking lot from the resort, so I doubt you will be bothered by any construction.
