Beware--NeNe Goose Poop on Pool Decks and in Pool Water--All 3 pools
My husband and I visited for the first time March 2, 2025 to March 7, 2025. We are MVC owners. The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas and grounds are beautiful and the staff is very welcoming. However, but no one will disclose that there is NeNe Birds (State bird), which is actually a Goose, that poop all around and in the pools. Not only is this highly unsanitary but it's also a health risk. It's on/in all 3 pools. Kids were running in the poop on the pool deck then getting in the pool water. The birds were also bathing and directly pooping in the pool during the day. We did not get in the pools at all. We complained to multiple people and they stated there is nothing they can do since it's a State bird. We spoke to the General Manager and he said it's "something they cannot talk about". The hotel did not disclose any of this before our arrival. MVC did not post on the owner's website under "Know Before You Go" for the hotel either. My husband and I cut our trip short and left to go to another hotel for the remainder of our trip! BEWARE before you book! Note: the pictures attached were taken by us during our stay.

Great Family Fun
Beautiful hotel grounds and pools. We booked a studio room in building 4 facing the ocean, mountain and golf course. The room has a full size refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, two burner stove top, microwave plus a washer and dryer. There are designated bbq areas too. The amenities include coffee pot with coffee, cream & sugar, laundry soap & softener, dish washing soap, dish soap and all the utensils and dishes, pots, etc for 4 people. Spacious bathroom with a jacuzzi and separate shower. Very clean room. There are several pools available for families, a great little kid pool, and a pool for adults. This is a great place for families. There is a restaurant and a small market. About a mile from the hotel are more shops, restaurants and grocery store. It’s located on the north side of the island which is more relaxing and rural. Lots of beaches, hiking and fairly close to other small towns.

Don’t pay to stay here
This is a joke. Seriously the service here is beyond lacking. Every thing that could go wrong went wrong. And the people that work here actually prefer to see you NOT have a pleasant experience. The property itself is pretty nice — but the time share setup combined with people paying for something resembling an hotel … ridiculous. It is not

Beautiful resort but geese make pools unsafe and unsanitary.
This is a beautiful resort but the geese around the pool are a real issue. We were considering booking again for next year; however, from the recent reviews, the geese problem is not being properly addressed. They poop all around the pools and in the pools which is unsafe and unsanitary. We will not return until they have resolved.

Top Notch
We have been to this resort a few times. It is on a bluff above the beach and the views are gorgeous. There is a beach you can walk down to but the trail is steep and slippery so we drove to nearby beaches. This is a really beautiful resort. The pools are lovely and the grounds are tended beautifully. The units are spacious. The decor is pleasant and has Hawaiian touches. Every single encounter with a staff member was pleasant; they were eager to help make our vacation pleasurable. Nanea restaurant on site is very very good.
