Kauai / Princeville: Which Starwood St. Regis or Westin?
Hi all!
(I have run searches but not found a thread on this question. Apologies if I missed something, but I only saw comps of Westin v. Sheraton.)
I am staying in Princeville for nine nights on points (so room rate is not an issue). What are the pros/cons btw the St. Regis and the Westin?
The reviews for both of these resorts are great. My question is, how do the properties fare on issues like:
beach access, views?
no. of kid visitors/big families?
value (for food, services, etc)? i.e., is st. regis dining too costly?
seclusion/privacy?
I love that my suite option at the Westin includes a kitchen, but this is my last trip before having a baby and would like to have a really romantic, special trip. Any real downsides to the Westin or St. regis i should consider? Is the St. Regis so spectacular that I should book there?
Finally, is it worth relocating and splitting some time between the two to get the benefits of both and change up the scene?
As always, thank you for all your input!!!
