Aloha from the beautiful north shore of Kaua‘i!

We are excited for another wonderful year here at The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas. The resort team, along with your Board of Directors, continues to enhance the overall vacation experience at your Home Resort in order to better give you the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends.

Whenever you want to take advantage of the travel flexibility your vacation ownership provides, there are a variety of new villa resorts in great locations, as well as new vacation options for you to enjoy, which you'll read about in the following pages.

We know how important vacations are to you, which is why we’re committed to providing you with all the latest news about happenings at your Home Resort and in the local area, as well as at other resorts in the villa resort collection.

All of us at The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Me ke aloha pumehana (with warmest aloha),

Denise WardlowGeneral Manager

Resort Update RESORT ENHANCEMENTSWe are continuing the revitalization of the building corridors, which includes painting and repairing all walls. This is scheduled to be complete in May.

The continual improvement of sustainability practices at our resort is of great priority. One way we are helping reduce plastic waste is by providing straws only upon request. Should you need a straw for a beverage, please ask your server or bartender.

VILLA ENHANCEMENTSThe screen doors in all villas were replaced this spring.

AMENITIES

Our transformed Westin Family Kids Club provides an imaginative space for kids to play and discover. The new interior and exterior spaces have been completed with features that include interactive environments such as a LEGO® wall and outdoor pod seating for playing, reading and hanging out. New activities include nature tours and Hwaiian cultural lessons in hula and the ‘ukulele.

New wellness offerings provide even more opportunities to experience a balanced vacation. Try a guided meditation with essential oils or one of the two new yoga classes, which are now being offered five days a week. Or invigorate yourself on the stationary Peloton bike in the WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio, where you can stream high-energy cycling classes on-demand.

RESORT EXPERIENCESAdults get to enjoy newly added cultural and resort activities as well, including hula lessons, ‘ukulele lessons, corn hole, bingo, volleyball and more. To participate, visit the Activities Hut on the pool deck.

We’re looking forward to our 10th Annual Westin Princeville Charity Golf Tournament on June 2. This is always a great opportunity to meet up with fellow Owners of your Home Resort on the links while raising money for a good cause. More details about how to register will be sent out soon.

What's New

THE WESTIN RESORT & SPA, CANCÚNThere’s now a new vacation option in Cancún with the renovation of The Westin Resort & Spa, Cancún. The extensive refurbishment of its recreation and public spaces also included the transformation of one building of hotel rooms to 44 stylish studio and two-bedroom villas. Boasting expansive water views, the resort features a brand-new sports bar and restaurant under the direction of renowned chef Neptali Haringthon. The updated Terrace and Lagoon Pool offers exceptional views of the Nichupte Lagoon where you can relax or catch a ride on the new Flowrider®. As we plan to convert to more villas over time, The Westin Resort & Spa, Cancún, makes an ideal location for your next vacation.

SHERATON STEAMBOAT RESORT VILLASDue to Owner demand at Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas — the only full-service ski-in, ski-out property in world-famous Steamboat Springs, Colorado — we converted the remaining hotel guest rooms to villas, bringing the total to 181 studio, two- and three-bedroom villas. This alpine retreat situated at the base of Steamboat Ski Mountain features a heated outdoor pool, full-service spa, rooftop terrace with outdoor whirlpool spas, and an 18-hole golf course. We’re also pleased to share that the resort is now open year-round, allowing Owners even more opportunity to enjoy all that this resort and area have to offer.

SHERATON LAKESIDE TERRACE VILLAS AT MOUNTAIN VISTA

We are excited to announce that Lakeside Terrace has become part of the Sheraton® family and has been renamed Sheraton Lakeside Terrace Villas at Mountain Vista. Through the resort’s scheduled renovation plan, Owners and Guests now enjoy fresh and modern decor and furnishings, granite countertops, new flooring, an upgrade from queen- to king-size Sheraton beds in a majority of the guest rooms, and other beautiful enhancements. Located at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain in Avon, Colorado, these stylish two-bedroom villas create an ideal retreat to experience year-round mountain adventures.

SHERATON KAUAI RESORTSituated on 20 acres on Kaua‘i's southern shoreline, Sheraton Kauai Resort offers immediate access to the pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters of Po‘ipū Beach. We are currently in the process of transitioning many Garden Wing hotel rooms to villas, as well as making enhancements throughout the resort. Whether you choose to enjoy the oceanfront freshwater pool from a private bungalow, the authentic on-site ‘Auli‘i Lū‘au or the many island adventures surrounding you, Sheraton Kauai Resort is a desirable retreat on the Garden Isle. The first phase of work is scheduled to debut in early 2019. Until then, Owners can continue to access this resort through the SPG® program.

BAJA POINT AT THE WESTIN LOS CABOSApril 2018 marks the one-year anniversary of the reopening of The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa. Additionally, we acquired the remaining inventory at the adjacent property (formerly Grand Regina) and have included it as a “resort within the resort” named Baja Point at The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas & Spa. The 32 two- and three-bedroom villas at Baja Point, all of which feature balcony whirlpool spas, are being refurbished to Westin® brand standards and added to the resort inventory to provide even more availability for our Owners to travel to this highly sought-after destination.
