On our second or third day we walked through the lobby of the Marriott to check it out. It was a lovely hotel, but it was a little sterile for what we wanted out of our Kauai experience. The Marriott is several stories high and reminds me more of the hotels we saw in Maui, whereas the Sheraton is a grouping of several 4 story buildings. We didn't get out of our cars at the St. Regis, but driving around the whole Princeville area I got the same "sterile" vibe. I'm sure both of these properties are awesome, but by the time we got there to check them out we were already pretty enchanted by the more cozy-like feeling of the Sheraton. I think 5 years ago (before kids) and 20 years from now I'll probably be more inclined to take advantage of the St. Regis.
