Vacation review for Sealodge E9 in Princeville, Kauai:
Best: the view to the north - makes for a lot of shade and a cooler place and a great view of whales every day (during season). It was also a quiet place to stay in. We give it 4 stars: we had a very good stay. The day trip to Waimea Canyon and Kalalau Lookout was one of the highlights. Bring hiking boots if you wish to hike the Kalalau trail (at sea level) at the western end of the road. The first section (4 miles return) is arduous and will take plenty of time to complete. Plan to canoe/kayak the (flat water)Wailua River. Go snorkel at Anini Beach safely inside the reef.The Mediterranean restaurant at the resort west of Hanalei is well situated on the beach and has a good menu, friendly service. A visit to the Kilauea Lighthouse is a must. The condo could use a little map of the Princeville properties with any walking paths and trails indicated (we never knew how to find the Queen's Bath, although it is near). We did not need the laundry facility, but others may appreciate a note where it is located. Visitors do NOT need a parking permit or other evidence of occupancy in spite of the sign that unauthorized cars will be towed. Things inside the condo were clean (kitchen) and working although a poor little dried out gecko in one corner in the living room suggests that the chairs are not necessarily moved every time when vacuuming... And, of course, with sea spray, it is difficult to keep all windows clean all the time (we noticed Cluster D's windows getting a cleaning while we were there). We will certainly recommend Sealodge to anyone and would not hesitate to make it our base when we return to Kaua'i.
