Thank you for crediting us with the ability to have supervised and/or controlled our 21 year old daughter when we last stayed. Frankly, if we had any control we would have made her pay for her own Lava Flows.

Princeville is much quieter than any other resort area I've ever been too. Don't expect a huge nightlife at the hotel.

The few days we were there, the age skewed older than yours. And yet a lot of young Hollywood has stayed there in the last year or so. I've seen pictures of a number of the younger celebs there. J Lo was there with her boy toy over Thanksgiving.
From the bastion of great reporting, OK magazine,
The St. Regis Princeville is a celebrity mecca attracting the likes of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Alicia Keys and George Clooney. Perched on the cliffs of Kauai’s North Shore, the resort boasts stunning views of Hanalei Bay and Bali Hi with signature amenities such as Jean- Georges restaurant Kauai Grill, the 10,000-square-foot Halele’a Spa, St. Regis’ legendary butler service, and a spectacular infinity pool. Celebs like Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne work off their energy by surfing and kayaking.

Yes it is the standard rate. And depending on what you value spg points at plus what the room rate is. It is usually a good value.

The room rate is $970 for a standard mountain view room (its April 2013!) so I'm happy with the $820 a night saving!

At first when I read that room rates were $970 per night for a standard mountain room I was going to say that was wrong, but you are right
Prices have gone UP massively over the past year then in that case
Now of course that is a rate for a room 12 month in advance... If you go back to November 2012 that room rates goes back down to USD 350

I read about 20 pages of this thread and performed a search, but did not find an answer to my question.
Does anyone have any experience or opinion on negotiating a paid suite upgrade when using C&P?
I realize as a Gold I may receive a complimentary upgrade to a better room or perhaps even a Jr Suite. However, what if I wanted to pay at the time of check in to get into one of the Crown/Specialty suites. I recognize there is no SPG corporate policy on this, but I'm sure the hotel has its own program for something like this.

I think your best bet is going to be a Junior Suite upgrade using this method in advance of check-in, but you can always negotiate at the front desk for a better suite type and offer to pay more $$ on a Cash & Points rate, subject to the availability of the suite you're looking for.
