LOCAL PHONE
In 2011, we have discontinued the phone service in the condo.  Nobody was using the land line.  And we were getting complaints about charity and political and unscrupulous solicitors from our guests.  Everybody travels with a cell phone these days.  So please bring yours with you to Kauai.

If your cell phone is not with a US Carrier, you'll be pleased to know that you can cut down your roaming charges by using the wireless at the Cliffs to make VOIP or Skype phone calls.   Be sure to install the application before you leave your home country.   You'll get best signal if you make such calls from the master bedroom or from the upstairs bedroom.

FAX & PHONE at CLIFFS
The fax at the Cliffs at Princeville is available for use.  The number is +1-808-826-2140.  They do not deliver the faxes to individual condos.  You must pick up at the front desk.   The Cliffs Resort front desk phone number is 1-808-826-6219.

The local address of the Cliffs at Princeville is:

NEAREST BEACHES
Visiting Kauai Northshore's over 20 wonderful beaches requires a car.   Or visit nearby Hideaways, Princeville, and Wyllies beach which are just a 15 minute walk.

BEACH ACCESSORIES
We have found it impractical to assure that there are beach chairs and towels and coolers.  They disappear, break, and wear out too quickly.  However, our guests sometimes buy these items and leave for others.  As of October 2011 there were
   4 beach chairs
   2 folding chairs in carrying case
   2 beach umbrellas
   2 beach mats
   1 pool noodles
   1 pair of swim fins
   1 kids mask and snorkel sets
   various plastic buckets and sand shovels.
   kid's plastic float
   an exercise ball
   1 styrofoam cooler
Thank you to those who bought them..  Should you not find what you are looking for nor wish to travel with your personal items, we suggest K-Mart or Costco or Wal-Mart in Lihue.

AIR CONDITIONING
Every season the someone asks if Cliffs Condos are Air Conditioned.  They are NOT.  There are wonderful sea breezes on the North Shore.  #9302's proximity to the ocean and large sliding patio doors on both ends of the Condo assure good ventilation.  In the rare event of a still night there are ceiling fans in the living and sleeping areas that provide fresh air.  With windows open, once can hear the sounds of the surf in the evening and birds in the morning.

On one trip to Kauai, we stayed in a air conditioned hotel room.  It was quite uncomfortable and we would up turning the system off and opening the windows.

WEATHER
It can be rainy or sunny any season.  Even guests who visit during the rainy months report long periods of sunshine.   And if it's raining in Princeville, just travel to the South -- or vice versa.   More information about weather in Kauai.

INTERIOR UPGRADES AND UPKEEP
The interior of condo 9302 is regularly updated and upgraded -- an item or two at a time.  This regular upkeep has occurred on these occasions:
-- New CD/MP3 and DVD/VCR player in 2011
--New Bedding -- 2009 & 11
--New Flat Screen TVs in 2010

INTERNET ACCESS
If you bring a laptop or smartphone, there is a wifi service provided by the Cliffs Resort.  Go to the Front Desk show them your rental receipt and get the logon codes:
-- SSID:  Cliffs at Princeville WiFi
-- Username:  xxxxxxx
-- Password:  *******
You must logon to the Cliffs internet before you can use it – smart phones included.  Open a browser and attempt to browse to any web page.  You’ll be presented with a logon page.   Enter Username and Password.  There is a free help desk if you have trouble connecting.

The wireless antenna is in the parking lot area at the front of building 9.  We surveyed signal strength in condo 9302 using our laptop and found that the wifi works quite well from the desk upstairs and from the master bedroom.  The signal was marginal in the living room.  And the signal is unusable at the dining room table.   When using our smart phone, we got the most reliable results from the master bedroom.           

LATE CHECKOUT
Many guests depart Kauai on a 9PM or 10PM United Airlines flight direct to LAX or SFO.   Having a place to shower and cleanup after a fun-filled day in Kauai is desired.  A late checkout [up till 7PM] can be arranged for an additional fee.  This fee is required because the condo cannot be cleaned and made ready for the next guest until the following night.  

MANAGEMENT COMPANY
The on-island property contact is Deborah Jameson.

CLEANING
Deborah generally takes care of the cleaning of this unit.  We think she does an excellent job and if you agree, kindly show her your appreciation.  Extra cleanings [for extra service charge] can be arranged by calling Deborah at 826-6607 [local call from the Condo].

RULES OF THE HOUSE
You are in a privately owned home.  Please treat it with respect and leave in top condition.
 1. Sorry, No Pets, No Smoking
 2. Please remove shoes before entering -- there is a lot of red dirt and sand that is very difficult to clean from carpets.
 3. Be certain the front door locks behind you.  Kauai has experienced some break-ins.  We cannot be held responsible for any losses.
 4. Keep screens closed to keep bugs and birds – yes birds – out of the condo.
 5. Keep noise to a minimum after 10PM.  Windows are often open and those in adjacent units are easily disturbed,
 6. Conserve electricity by turning off all unused fans and lights.  Hawaii has the highest rates of all 50 states.
 7. Please don't change the settings in the refrigerator.
 8. Don't feed any stray cats you may see at the Cliffs Resort.  They carry fleas and annoy many of the guests.
 9. Take your trash out regularly to the dumpsters.  Avoid attracting bugs.
 10. Quickly clean up all food spills to discourage ants, roaches, and bugs.
 11.  Store food in closed containers to prevent bugs.
