Great time at the Nihilani from Sierra Madre on 10/12/2011 said:

“ This year the family and I decided to visit the island of Kauai. I found this rental online. I was impressed with all of the positive reviews. The price was right and it was in a desirable area (Princeville). The complex is very close to Hanalei, which offers a great variety of restaurants and shops. The grocery store is also very close. Upon opening the front door of our unit we were very pleased. The unit was clean and well kept. Plenty of space for the kids. It felt like we were home. There were Hawaiian goodies on the kitchen island left for us (nice touch). The unit has everything a family needs to feel at home. Fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, comfortable furniture, cable tv, and air conditioning. The garage even has beach chairs, beach mats and kids toys. Only a few minor things to consider. The bbq is out at the pool. We grilled a few times and had to bring our food back to the unit. The pool closes at 9pm and the HOa is strict about getting everyone out on time. Overall we had an excellent stay and hope to return very soon. I would highly recommend the Nihilani, unit 3a. ”

Complex

Overall rating:
Robert Hryniewich from Aurora, CO on 09/29/2011 said:

“ I have to say the unit was very nice on the inside but the rest of the complex was terrible. Parking is horrible, location of the unit was bad as we heard traffic noise until 2am every morning. The pool was suppose to be heated but it wasn't. The pool was so cold we actually had to use a pool in a different complex. We had the management jump down our throats regarding a car being parked in Vistor parking in front of the unit. He was so rude to my niece that nobody needs to be treated this way especially a vistor to the island. Overall Unit a+ Complex and Management F. After reading reviews from other people that have stayed in this complex they also have had siimilar run ins with your onside management. I seem to think this complex is mainly residents not majority rentals. I wouldn't stay in this complex again just due to the way we were treated. ”

Manager response:

“ Dear Guest, I am delighted you liked the unit and gave it an A+. I am also very sorry you had a difficult time with the onsite management. About 30% of the units at Nihilani are occupied by year-round residents, and we have appealed to the management company to be more lenient with the rules as the majority of people there are on vacation. I agree the parking is difficult at Nihilani, but each unit does come with a 2 car garage, so for the majority of guests parking is never an issue. The pool at Nihilani is not heated, and Im not sure where that might have been advertized online. I hope you will reconsider and stay with us again. Nihilani is one of the few new developments with central a/c and has a beautiful pool and BBQ area complete with restrooms and shaded areas. It is a great place for couples and families alike. ”

Two Couples Traveling with a Toddler from Georgetown, KY on 05/04/2011 said:

“ This was our second stay at Nihilani at Princeville and it is just so easy to feel at home there. It takes no time to get settled, and we defintely didn't want to leave. It is by far the most well appointed vacation rental we've ever stayed in. This year we invited some friends to come out and they brought their 20 month old- the condo was perfect for him. The pack'n play, highchair, even baby utensils were put to good use. Everything we needed was readily available. We also appreciate how clean it is. You can truly unplug and relax. ”

Amazing Vacation

Overall rating:
A very happy Camper from Central California on 09/14/2010 said:

“ Most of the times pictures are a lot nicer than the actual thing when it comes to staying at a hotel or vacation rental, but this town-home exceeded our expectations. For 6 adults there was more than enough room to relax independently or gather in a common area. The entire home was very tastefully decorated and the beds were all very comfortable. The home comes complete with everything you could possibly think of to make your stay one to remember. Boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs, and so much more. The residence it self is in a very nice area, and in our opinion one it looked the nicest from the outside. Kristen was wonderful to work with by e-mail and equally as helpful when we called to ask about a trip we wanted to make. The only thing is that Princeville its self is at the north of the island so we spent a lot of time going one direction because we wanted to see things all over the island and you cant go very far to the west before the road ends. Otherwise i'm pretty sure we had the best deal in all of Princeville! ”

Great townhome on Kauai

Overall rating:
Smith from Dallas, Texas on 07/13/2010 said:

“ Nihilani 3a was a great townhome for our family. The 2 story layout was fantastic! The third bedroom with twin beds was great for our teens. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. I appreciated the full size washer and dryer. We thought everything and everyone we worked with in the rental was wonderful. These items truly not bother us, but if you are looking for a few minor improvements...sheets on master bed were a bit large and slid some, sofa could stand to be cleaned, and slightly larger wastebaskets in the bathrooms would be helpful. It was wonderful with an excellent location to many activities on the island. Thank you! ”

karaokesuperstars from chicago, illinois USA on 08/23/2009 said:

“ I am very reluctant to write this review. I feel like this place is a hidden gem, and don't want anyone else to find out about it so that I can rent it again for our next visit to Kauai :) The townhouse is large, clean, very nicely decorated, comfortable and well-stocked. The beds are comfortable, and the AC works well. Kristen at alohacondos pretty much thinks of everything you could need. Speaking of Kristen, the manager, she was very easy to work with, easy to get a hold of, and very accomodating. The townhouse community is in a good location. Close to all the beautiful north shore sights and beaches, without being TOO far north. It IS a bit of a drive to get down to the south shore and kapaa/lihue etc, but you get used to the driving. The grounds of the community are very pretty. The pool was a great spot to hang out when we couldn't swim in the river run-off water after huge rains ("brownwater"). The only small negative of this rental that I can think of is that a couple of the rooms are a little dark (family/living room and master bedroom). I think it's because the bulbs are low-watt florescents, and I can understand the desire to conserve energy and keep electricity costs down. Other than that, the place is perfect and I would definitely stay here again! ”

DrSnow from Millbrae, CA on 07/28/2009 said:

“ Kristen was super easy to work with. It made the trip that much better. First class service. I needed a late check-out and she made that work without a hitch. The home was beautiful, clean, and well furnished. It had all the amenities you'd want. The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly comfortable. Better than my bed at home. The garage was stocked full of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even a skimboard. Honestly couldn't ask for more. Even the neighbor was awesome. Some of you might be stoked to find out who it is. Location was great. Nice and quiet, the supermarket is close, Hanalei was right down the road. Will definitely stay here again without hesitation. Nothing that I didn't like about the house. The only inconvenience was the garage remote having to be pressed about a dozen times before it actually opened or closed. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing vacation with nothing to ever have to worry about. ”

Gail from Mission Viejo, Califronia on 06/04/2009 said:

“ My husband and I spent a glorious vacation week in this very beautiful townhome. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. We had everything we needed and more. It is very well maintained and very clean. It's a great place to take a walk. When the St. Regis opens in the fall 2009, it will be fun to walk there for a drink or meal. We loved the town of Hanalei...enjoyed many restaurants, a farmer's market and a Slack Key guitar concert at the community center. We loved the one lane bridges and the relaxed atmosphere of the north shore. ”

“ This was a beautiful Condo and had so much room. We stayed there with our daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, grandson and son. Our grandson was a year old and they accomodated us with a bed for him. The kitchen was great and just begged to be cooked in. The grounds were fantastic. We enjoyed the pool area and enjoyed meeting the individuals who lived there year around and worked on the Island. We will go back to this location if we are able to make it to Kauai. ”

michelemcgruther from New Jersey on 04/02/2009 said:

“ Our stay with Aloha Condos at Nihilani 3a were the pinnacle of our 1 week stay in Kauai. We walked in to a welcome basket, and had at available to us high end utensils, modern and clean accomodations, plush towels and beach towels, an awesome master bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower, toys, games, baby gear, beach gear -- even laundry soap! everything was thought of. It was like staying in a high end hotel, vs. a For Rent by Owner property. For a fraction of the cost we had 6 adults and one child stay comfortably! We enjoyed watching the rooster and his family of hens every morning, and making dinner for ourselves in the evening. The location is in a great location in Princeville, just a short drive from the Princeville shopping area, beautiful beaches and hiking trails, and, in the opposite direction, the Lighthouse. The condos are quiet, walkable, and I believe the newest development as of 2008 in Princeville. There is a small, private pool a short walk from the unit; my only wish is that the grill was not away from the property. We'll definitely be back again! ”

“ This is an amazing condo. It has 3 beds, 3 baths and plenty of space. It is immaculately furnished and beautifully appointed. It is really quiet and the lanai overlooks a soothing fountain. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the condo owners have truly thought of everything. The kitchen is stocked with everything imaginable, and things you would not expect are provided. For instance, four bicycles and helmets, childrens' beach toys, folding chairs, etc. I highly recommend it and would rent it again in a heartbeat! ”

kiki from nyc on 09/05/2010 said:

“ I was amazed by the quality of everything in the house- from the beautiful decorations, furniture and bedding, to the appliances and utensils in the kitchen- the owners spared no expense in stocking the place so that you had anything and everything you could possibly need or want. I was very impressed with all the extras, like high quality knives and cookware, a full spice cabinet, kitchen appliances, boogie boards and sand toys, guidebooks and dvds. It felt like the owners must have lived there themselves bec. they thought of everything and didn't skim on buying cheap kitchen stuff bec it was a rental. The island styled decor was so tasteful and home-y, down to every last detail; it felt like you were living in your own island luxury dream home. Hawaiian style was authentic and upscale, staying true to an island theme without being cheesy or touristy. ”

Anita from Alberta, Canada on 06/02/2010 said:

“ This unit was wonderful. We've stayed in a lot of rental and time share units and this condo was the best equipped of any we've come across. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and more, the linens were high quality, the things we needed for the beach -- chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, towels -- were all there, the TV and other electronics were high end (including a blue ray DVD and sound surround system), and the owners had even provided a great selection of new Dvd's for both families and kids, as well as island guide books. It was just fabulously comfortable for the six of us (four adults, two kids) and made a great home base and place to relax after a day in the sun. The only negative was a bit of traffic noise from the road because the unit is on the outside of the development. But this really only affected the master bedroom and everything else was so great we didn't mind the noise. We would definitely stay here again! ”

“ Lovely place. Came with my family for 5 days. Fully stocked with everything I could need in the kitchen, a library of books, beach towels, mats, boards... Dishwasher, washing machine and other appliances were all very new. Just a few miles from some great beaches in Hanalei. We were concerned that we'd get a lot of rain because it was February in Princeville, but weather turned out sunny most of time anyway. Had some trouble with the wireless internet, but after calling our contact at the resort--who picked up the phone every time--everything was taken care of immediately. ”

“ From my first contact with the staff at aloha Condos through the last day of our vacation it is hard to think of enough adjectives to adequately describe our experience. The condo is beautifully decorated yet functional with all the amenities anyone would ever need. The pictures do not do it justice and everything far exceeded our expectations. My only hesitation in writing this review is I want to keep this wonderful condo all to myself so it will be available when we are back next year. Thank you to the owners but especially to Kristen and Graeme at aloha Condos for making the entire process of renting a vacation property, sight unseen, over the internet, a great experience. ”

“ This rental is an exceptional value. First, it is air conditioned unlike other units, notable the Bali just across the street. Unit 24C has obviously been furnished by a professional interior decorator, and it is gorgeous. There is surround sound system for all the three televisons in the unit. All the amenities for a condo are available: a kitchen, a breadkfast nook, a dinning area, dishes, utensils, and a washer and dryer. And, it is very quiet. We owned a unit is Lanikai in Honolulu and rented it on Vrbo that had private access to the ocean. The unit in Kauai, 24C, compares well even without the ocean access and is a better value.

“ For three nights in late February my family rented Townhome 24c and we very extremely satisfied with our experience. I was traveling with my wife, 13 month old daughter, and mother in-law. We enjoyed the large common areas and the individual bathrooms were a huge plus. Washer & dryer accommodations came in handy and multiple kitchen supplies allowed us to cook-up a feast and enjoy dinning on the balcony nightly. The swimming pool at Nihilani was superb and somewhat quiet which made it easier on my daughter and more relaxing for my wife. We enjoyed morning jogs and leisurely evening strolls on the nearby paved paths. Waling distance to the grocery store and a quick 10 minute drive to Hanalei beach made the location perfect. ”

Long time renters on the North Shore of Kauai, we decided to try Nihilani while enjoying the fantastic beaches, great hiking and world-class golf. Well laid out floor plan, excellent condition and nice pool and hot tub nearby. Outstanding service: Awake at 5:00 AM (late for a Mainland visitor)the first day, I was having trouble getting my laptop to connect to the wireless router. Not wanted to disturb anyone so early, I sent an email to Kristen requesting help. She responded immediately and was on the way with a replacement router before 8:00 AM. Enabled me to finish my work and get to Anini Beach before 10:00 AM. ”

Amazing Condo!

Overall rating:
MB from Utah on 10/01/2011 said:

“ We spent a week here with my family and had an amazing trip. The condo is absolutely beautiful, with every amenity you could possibly want. It was great to have a full kitchen so that we could prepare healthy meals for ourselves. The beds were comfortable and I loved going out on the lanai's for early morning relaxation. We had occasion to contact the property manager a few times and she was wonderful to work with. The condo has several beach toys in the garage (boogie boards, some snorkel equipment, sand toys) which were very nice to have on hand. The only negative we could think of was that the pool in the condo complex has some pretty strict rules. It wasn't really a great place for kids to go. It was immaculate and a beautiful pool/hot tub, but every time we went to swim we were told we couldn't do what we were doing. Basically, the rules are no noise, no pool noodles, no rafts, no snorkels, etc. I think they should just put up a sign that says no kids because kids inevitably will make a little noise while swimming. The resident manager who drives around all day making sure people are following the rules in the complex could relax just a tad. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub by ourselves, but our kids couldn't have any fun. I wouldn't decide against this condo based on that however, you don't really need a pool when you're this close to beautiful beaches! We can't wait to return to Kauai and our fabulous "Hawaii house" as the kids call it. ”

Breathtaking Condo...Almost as Beautiful as a Hawaiian Sunset

Doctor E and T from Springfield, MO on 09/05/2011 said:

“ This condo had all the amenities of home. With extra goodies around every corner (beach mats, towels, some snorkel gear) and the kitchen was equipped to our liking (blenders, utensils, bowls, pans etc.). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The decor was tastefully done. With our love of the beach, the washer and dryer was very handy to wash out the swimsuits and towels. We traveled around every ounce of the island and thought Princeville was by far the most beautiful. We were a little weary of everything being more expensive on the North shore, but to our surprise, it was very similar. There was one surprise, we left the screen open and a really fat cat called PT Cruiser that wondered in. He said his Hellos and was out the door. Just a neat experience all around. Much Mahalo for a wonderful much needed vacation. I would recommend this property to families, couples, etc. (*There were stairs, so not handicapped accessible and the bedrooms and 2 of the bathrooms were upstairs. Not a problem at all with our family...) ”

Paradise at Princeville

Overall rating:
HP from Oak Park, CA on 08/27/2011 said:

“ Unit 27a at Nihilani at Princeville is a clean, spacious, nearly new condo that comfortably could sleep 8 people. We were a party of 4 and never felt cramped or crowded. The townhome has a fully equipped, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances. The beds are comfortable and the living and dining room furniture are attractive and well-maintained. There is a flat screen tv in the living room hooked to cable and offering many channels. There is also cable internet access which is super fast. The unit is air conditioned, though we found that by making use of the screen doors and ceiling fans, we didn't need to use the electricity. There are 3 lanais, two upstairs and one downstairs with comfortable outdoor furniture for relaxation. The large washer and dryer upstairs was a godsend for towels and clothing. The unit came equipped with plenty of beach towels, boogie boards, beach mats, and assorted beach toys. There is even a high chair for a family with a small child. The unit is in the heart of the Princeville residential area, a mile from Foodland market and 10 minutes by car from the swimming beach at Hanalei. Queen's Bath and Hideaways Beach are a 20-30 minute hike for those who don't mind making their way down (and back up) the steep cliffs. There is also a black-bottom pool with a small waterfall on site. Only wish it had been open beyond 9 PM. All in all, a lovely condo and a great vacation and at very reasonable price!! ”

From Toronto from Canada on 07/26/2011 said:

“ Unit 27a was a great choice for us. The unit and furnishings were high grade (except for one chair in the living room that had some significant wear and tear)and as shown in the photos. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. Location is a convenient drive to the North Shore activities and shopping. Note the Bbqs are shared at the pool, so go early to avoid a wait for grill space. Also, the pool is a short walk, but along the roadway. All considered, we were very pleased with our stay. Thanks aloha Condos! ”

It was a rare surprise to find a rental condo in such exquisite condition and at such a reasonable price. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!! ”

katblue16 from Rocky Ford, CO on 04/17/2011 said:

“ This condo, 27a, at Nihilani, Princeville, was one of the most beautiful properties we have rented for vacation in the past 10 years. It was clean, located conveniently for us, and just a lovely Hawaiian vacation rental. We hiked and "beached" all day and came home to this immaculate, restful place for the evenings. We enjoyed reading on the patios and decks, having the convenience of the washer and dryer and making dinner over a glass of wine in the kitchen/bar area. The beds and linens were first class to collapse in at night. Having the garage made the car secure. Just a perfect haven for vacation! ”

Texas tourists from Austin, TX on 12/24/2010 said:

“ We spent 3 weeks in December 2010 at 27a and found it most relaxing. Nihilani is an upscale condo community with mostly owners or long-term rentals. 27a feels like a home with quality appliances and furnishings and fine detail work in construction. Most pleasant and we did need the a/C at all, although it covers the entire unit if needed. Possible limitations: a walk to the pool making it too difficult to have a cookout (the two grills were inoperable when we were there); no workout-exercise room in complex; beach is a drive away. We would definitely stay here again. ”

The home is very well furnished and everything you can think of is already provided -- detergent, coffee filters, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. The beds were really comfortable and the central air conditioning came in very handy. The neighborhood also felt very safe and it was very quiet (except for the morning rooster!). Staying up in Princeville is definitely much more relaxing than the other more touristy cities. ”

Greg from Geneva, Switzerland on 08/20/2009 said:

“ We had a great time in 27 A. It was beautifully furnished, felt very safe in a good neighbourhood. We really felt at home instantly and it was very relaxing. We spent only 5 nights but could have easily spent 2 weeks :-) Although it advertized only 2 full rooms, it had indeed 2 King size bed bedrooms plus a 3rd room with 2 single beds, so it can fit 6 very comfortably. Bathroom in the master bedroom is really. Good quality linen and towels, and even beach towels are supplied. There is a good HD TV with Hifi sound and a great selection of programs. The pool and jacuzzi are quiet and relaxing. The small shopping center at the entrance of Princeville is very convenient and has a few restaurants (e.g. C&J's Steak & Seafood). North of Kauai was one of our best places in Hawaii and it took minutes from 27A to reach beautiful sandy beaches, one different each time, Hanalei being very close with its shops and restaurants (less than 5 minutes). It took typically 40 minutes to drive to Lihue for the helicopter tour, and less that 1h30 minutes to drive to Waimea at the other end of the island. Princeville feels much greater than Waipuli or Poipu in my opinion, with great tropical vegetation and the moutain right behind. So, no doubt we enjoyed 27A ! ;-) ”

Julie N. from Pleasanton, CA on 08/05/2011 said:

“ Condo was very nicely maintained and comfortable. Things that I especially liked about it were: kitchen was well stocked with very nice dishes, pots, pans, utensils, condiments--this was a pleasant surprise since I've stayed at luxury condos that were not as well appointed as this condo; lots of good, clean, fluffy towels; comfortable pillows and beds; comfortable couches; roomy lanai overlooking pool (sometimes a little noisy, but not a big issue). There were paper towels, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dishwasher detergent, plastic baggies and foil, etc. All things that you need, but is a pain to have to buy when you are on vacation only to leave half of it behind when you leave. I did buy more laundry detergent (not sure if property manager would have brought more) and we ran out of kleenex in some rooms and paper towels (again, not sure if property manager would have brought more). Would have been nice if they stocked those items in the condo. We didn't really need or use them, but the garage had lots of beach chairs, beach towels, pool toys, snorkling gear, etc. I just felt like this place took care of the little things and it really made a difference. The condo does not have granite counter tops, but in my opinion, the place is a great value because of it and is still a great looking place. Loved the fact that each bedroom had a bathroom. Only other issue was that the two smaller bedrooms do not have air conditioning, so you have to leave the door open at night if you want to get cool air. Was not a major issue for us. The ceiling fan in the twin-bed bedroom clicks when you have it on high. That should get fixed. The toilet handle in the bathroom for the twin-bed bedroom is very hard to press. You almost feel like you are going to break the handle. That should also be looked at. ”

Vacation rentals are able to offer better prices than hotels because we do not offer daily maid service. I hope you were able to make use of the full size washer/dryer in the unit so you had fresh towels all week.

We loved swimming in the pool at night after a full day of activities and dinner and we were usually the only ones in there! The workout room was great too. Hanalei town and Hanalei bay is not far away and a great beach for boggie boarding and swimming. I read every review before we stayed here and all the compliments people made were absolutely true! The only negative I read was to have maybe one more barbecue at the pool. We did not have that problem as we only saw one other person using it. This may be true during the busier times.

“ Perfect condo for a family with kids. The place comes with everything from salt and pepper and aluminum foil in the kitchen to beach chairs/mats, beach towels, boogie boards and ice chest coolers in the garage for a day at the beach. It's ideal for families with small kids, as a pack n' play and a booster chair were provided to us upon arrival, and all of the electrical outlets were baby proofed. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for a family of six. The unit is also conveniently located by the pool. The management was very responsive when we had problems with the garage door opener and internet access; they fixed the problem within hours of our call. The overall property is ideally located, just 10 minutes from Hanalei Bay, and less than 2 miles from the St. Regis Hotel where we were attending a wedding. Two minutes away by car is Foodland, the main grocery store in the area, a great playground and the public library. I would highly recommend this place and particularly this unit. The road to the driveway of the condo dead ends so there aren't cars driving past your unit in the parking lot like the other condos on the property. My only suggestion for the property is to get another propane barbecue grill by the pool. Get there early to be the first on the grill, or you could be waiting in line for a while to cook your dinner. I loved our stay at this condo, and if we come to Princeville again, I wouldn't hesitate a second to rent this same unit. I highly recommend it. ”

“ Plantation at Princeville 1221 is a gem just a short walk from the luxury St. Regis Princeville and postcard snapshot Hanalei Bay. Amenities of a top-notch resort but with a more relaxed feel, the condo is immaculately kept with fully stocked kitchen, laundry and bathrooms, upscale decor and furniture allowing for a relaxed Kauai stay at a reasonable price, especially given the high price of food and dining on the island. This is a gem especially for families that want a getaway in resort surroundings (upscale furniture, relaxed north shore address, large Roman tub and romantic master suite) yet desiring the comforts of home-- laundry, kitchen, lanai/enclosed patio, pool/barbecue area, wi-fi, etc. The condo is essentially new with very little obvious wear and obvious pride in ownership is evident in the surroundings and amenities inside. There are running trails leading to the waterfront and St. Regis resort (along the golf course) and Princeville shopping area/grocery store is a very short drive (about 3 minutes) or leisurely walk away. The condo was easy to access and the management company very helpful and accessible throughout our stay. Great location for a drive to the end of the road along the north shore. New to a condo vacation experience as we were? This is the one to try as you will come away with a fabulous vacation! ”

The Byler Bunch from The Beautiful State of Montana!!! on 03/11/2010 said:

“ We surely enjoyed our stay at the Plantation. A week flies by so quickly!! Very comfortable accommodations in every way. An item we saw for improvement would be another grill by the pool. There was a line every evening to use the one grill. A couple nights we ended up sharing it with another party. Hard to cook your meat as you like with someone else always opening up the grill. Also the man who lives under 1221 was not the most pleasant person. We just smiled at him when he complained of sand falling from our shoes off the steps onto his stuff. You live on an island for cryin' out loud. And, he complained that we were shaking the light fixtures as we walked or ran across the floor. Guess that goes with having someone live above you as we were not loud or rowdy in any way. Kristen is great!! Informed us well of the tsunami. Was gracious in allowing us a late check out as it worked out well with the incoming guests arriving after us. The condo is nicely decorated. The lanai is a super spot for kicking back and relaxing for hours. No regrets in choosing the Plantation at Princeville Condo 1221. ”

Amenities were more than expected and although we didn't need them, I was impressed to see there was plenty of infant/baby equipment stored. The kids made good use of the beach items in the garage too! The location was perfect for us. We had family staying at the hotel down the street. Foodland was only minutes away! It was also an easy drive up to Hanalei, or down to Kilauea or even Kapa'a. Anini beach was a great place to take the kids and also nearby. We loved our stay in the condo, and would have no problems booking again. The only "issue" we had was the fact that there wasn't the best sound proofing between the top and bottom floors of the condos. So the people below us could hear our kids playing above them. They were polite in their request to try to keep them from running around, but that wasn't really the problem. They were not overly loud and were not running around - there just wasn't the best sound insulation between the suites. Something to keep in mind if you are travelling with young children. ”

If my parents had not been poor immigrants; if they had left me a big pile of money, I would move to Kauai and live there until I die. But I digress.... Aloha experience: Kristen is a very warm and welcoming reservations hostess, providing superior service through our stay. Special requests for grand-baby support (e.g., high chair, play pen) were cheerfully met. She also provided thorough info about our accommodations. Upon arrival, we were touched to find a thoughtful "welcome basket" containing chocolate covered and roasted macadamia nuts, a beach bag, Hawaiian coffee and potato chips, and several other items. Accommodations: very nice, modern, and spacious; a quiet location on the very best part of Kauai. Well maintained and clean. Many major amenities provided which, in our experience, are not always found in rentals in Hawaii: free internet, garage, etc. Also, many smaller items were stocked in the unit, like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, a handful of spices, food storage containers, an extensive collection of dishes, bakeware and cookware (we actually baked bread while there - OK, over the top!), boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. We saved a bundle by not having to buy (or haul) these items! The appliances are nice: side-by-side fridge/freezer with ice & water dispenser, full sized oven/stove and microwave, quality coffee maker, toaster and blender, dishwasher, etc. The Princeville location is absolutely wonderful! If you've been to Maui, Princeville is a lot like Wailea - the upscale side of Maui - because it feels more like a community than a tourist spot. A few minutes down the road is the charming and laid-back village of Hanalei. For restaurants, we recommend Kalypso, Bar-Acuda, and Bubba's. (And the Hanalei Bay Resort has a killer loco-mocos for b-fast.) P.S. If Hanalei Bay is flat, try surfing at the Rock Quarry, about 15 minutes north. ”

“ We found the place to very comfortable and hospitable. The Aloha Condos manager was excellent. We had slow draining baths and she was able to rectify the problem even on Sunday. The condo was well equiped. It even had ice chests for our daily excursions. Beach chairs and boggie boards came in handy as well. The complex was well managed...the pool area is well maintained. We found the complex to be quite relaxing. The only thing we noticed is that we wish it had more AC ducts to provide better/even distribution. Though it was very minor and not many of us complained. We really enjoy our vacation and the accommodation is a big part of it. We highly recommend this to anyone. ”

“ The condo and facilities were faboulous. Beautifully maintained and appointed with everything that a couple or family could need. They provided everything from trash bags to laundry soap for the first couple of washes. Kristen is a delight to work with and gets right back to you if you have questions or concerns. The location is quiet and peaceful. In the evenings take time to stroll to different areas throughout the Princeville neighborhood to watch breath taking sunsets. Sit out on the Lani and enjoy the sound of the pools tranquil waterfall and the cool breeze. But be careful.... I can guarantee that you will catch yourself drifting off to sleep before you know it. I can't recommend this place enough. Great people, wonderful location and facilities that have all the conviences of home. Maybe that's why they call it paradise. ”

“ The condo was located in a beautiful place, with a beautiful view and was decorated wonderfully. Even as spectacular as Kauai is, we always looked forward to returning to the condo. It feels like a home, a big kitchen with everything you need to make anything from breakfast to dinner, the beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are large & include hair dryers that actually work great (a plus not to have to pack). It was also very clean (complaints others had at the same location). The patio is large with lots of seating. The pool is very nice with large bbq's to grill. We were there for a wedding and can't wait to return with my entire family. The price of the condo was amazing too, we had no idea it was going to be as great as it was. I have worked on 5 star hotels for a long time and this was just as good. I love being able to cook our own food with the fish markets so close. The condo is located in beautiful scenery and i loved taking early morning walks. In the garage there are lots of beach toys, coolers, chairs and even boogie boards. I highly recommend THIS particular condo, all our other friends were very jealous (they were on the same property). You will not be disappointed! ”

When I walked in the door, I was ecstatic to find that it looked exactly as it did in the on-line pictures; and all the rooms were in pristine condition. It also had the best supplied kitchen I've ever seen. Not only did it have a sensible variety of dishes, knives and pans, but it had things like plastic wrap. That's just brilliant! We had 6 people in our group ranging from my 8 year old son to my 88 year old mother, and everyone loved the condo. My boy loved the flat panel TV/cable, and my mom loved the comfortable seating and 'flat' living space. If we return to Kawaii, I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this condo again. ”

I wish I had a master bath in my house like this unit! So tastefully done in tile and beautiful fixtures, and the linen and bedding was so nice, I went right out and bought new linen for my vacation rental on Maui!!!! The owners really went the extra mile with upgraded furnishings, window coverings, appliances and wireless internet too. It was spacious, comfortable, and really felt like a true 'home' base. Why this unit even has a GARGAGE!!! I usually pine for an oceanview, but with the upgraded features of this unit and the lovely garden view, I really did not miss seeing the ocean, we just enjoyed it more when we headed down to the beach, which ws not far away at all...and stayed a bit longer... and once we got home, we flopped into our luxury bedding and felt like home. MAHALO nui LAO for creating such a nice space, for such an affordable price. Oh and by the way, the local on island agent was wonderful too, she stopped by personally and helped us sort out a few things we needed in very short order. ”

We used the pool a few times but the water was cold. Sometimes we cooked our meals and other times ate out or we would buy a bunwich and have a picnic. We loved all the lovely plants and flowers, truly a garden paradise! The roosters take a little getting used to (earplugs would help).

New vacation home found from Eatonville, WA on 06/01/2011 said:

“ We have two teenagers and one youngster and have stayed in Kauai a few other times, always in a hotel. This option has become crowded as they have grown. Everything you read and see about this place is true. We stopped by Costco and Foodland on the way in from the airport to stock up. We used the grill all but two nights. The kids had a wonderful time out in the pool. The condo is maybe 5-10 minutes from some of the greatest beaches on the North shore. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner out on the lanai. For what we received, this is by far the best value. My husband wakes very early and it was great for him to have additional space without waking the rest of us. The beds were very comfortable and the linens/towels were great quality. After finding alohacondos.com online and spending quite a bit of time comparing our options, we felt this was the very best choice. We felt as comfortable here as in our own home. I have already recommended the website to a few people and will continue to do so. If you don't mind saving money cooking your own meals, why would you stay in a hotel? For the time we spent here, we had everything we needed. The kids loved the snorkeling gear and boogie boards. Aside from the food, we did not need to purchase anything additional to enjoy our stay here. It was private and quiet and the residents were very nice. We come to Kauai every year and we have a found our new home away from home. ”

Great views, nice pool, short walk to the beach, grocery store down the road with a redbox so on the whole not too bad. ”

The kitchen is more than adequate for almost all meals, and it is purposely designed so that this husband doesn't have an excuse not to take his wife out to dinner. It has a washer and dryer, MP3 player, flat screen TV, and other amenities for your enjoyment. The views and short walk to the most beautiful beach complete the picture.
P.S.: All the condominiums are privately owned; this is not a hotel, so a honeymoon upgrade is not available. ”

J & J from Alameda, CA on 11/13/2010 said:

“ We spent five fantastic nights at this condo, located at the Hanalei Bay Resort in Princeville. This 2nd floor condo is centrally located to the front desk, parking lot and main swimming pool. The unit was loaded with amenities. From a fully-stocked kitchenette to a large bathroom with no shortage of soaps, shampoos, towels, etc. There is even a stacked washer/dryer unit off of the bathroom (a huge plus). The king bed is very comfortable and the sleeping/living area also boasts a dresser, armoire, sofa, coffee table, 2-person dining table and a wall-mounted, flat-screen tv that pulls out and can be turned for viewing from either the seating area or the bed. The balcony/lanai is a good size, with a table and two chairs. The view of the lush courtyard with the mountains beyond Hanelei Bay is superb. There are plenty of birds and chickens around, and they are a joy to watch. We have stayed at the Hanelei Bay Resort on two other occasions ('04 and '06). This is the best condo we have found, with the best rates as well. Since all of the condos at this resort are now individually owned, you will find a variety of rates for the different units. Aloha Condos clearly has the best rates for their condos. The only downside to our stay is that some of the services at the resort have changed and/or been eliminated in recent years. Both the restaurant and bar are now closed. This is not a reflection on the condo itself, but it is a reality. The two main highlights of this particular resort are still there. These include the fabulous swimming pool. In my experience and opinion, it is the best pool in all of Hawaii. The other gem is Pu'u Poa Beach, located just below the resort. It's the closest thing to a private beach you will find on the island. If your Kauai vacation plans take you to the north shore, don't pass-up the opportunity to stay in condo #1205, Hibiscus at the Hanelei Bay Resort. You won't regret it. ”

“ Overall, it was a good experience. Communication prior to arrival was clear and helpful. Check-in was easy and the unit was as described. The unit was pretty clean. We found no bugs or lizards and no real dirt to speak of. We did need to wash all dishes before using them, they were clearly just rinsed. The small kitchenette was clean and stocked with any dishes, pans and utensils that one might need. The furnishings were fine and the bathroom was nice and spacious. The large flat screen TV was nice as was the view from the balcony- that was the best part. The mountains would take our breath away each time we looked out. I thought more care could have been taken to better clean the balcony. The following are suggestions to make future guest's stay a bit more comfortable: -provide hand soap for the bathroom (we bought some and left it there, our gift) -provide facial tissue -provide a towel for use in the kitchenette (we ended up using one of our hand towels) -provide a couple win glasses -get either lower chairs for the balcony or a higher table (you couldn't comfortable eat at the table, I think it was a mis-matched set.) -better soundproof the adjoining room, you could clearly hear conversation from other guests, light also came through the bottom of the door quite brightly (the door is a bit too short) Let me stress, these are minor things. I think this condo is a great value for the money and I would stay here again. The resort is nice and you have access to shared propane gas grills. The pool is beautiful, quiet and clean. The unit was very good. With a few tweaks, it could be great. ”

This condo is in a good location near parking & not far from front desk or pool. Price for unit was amazing & enabled us to visit Kauai. It would be most helpful to have a place to hang wet bathing suites & cloths on hangers. Even a portable hanging rack would be nice. Bathroom tub area could us more lighting. The sharp corners on the cupboards need sanding down, scrapped my hand on one. Washing machine drain isn't plumbed correctly causing it to back up drained water into the bathroom sink. Could be bad if someone put something in that sink. This unit was so nice & better than we expected for the price we paid. The porch view of the mountain was very pretty. Loved waking up to see it.

“ My husband and I stayed at the Hanalei Bay Resort, condo #1205, in Princeville from March 3 - 6, 2010. We booked our reservation through Kristen at Aloha Condos and were very impressed with her customer service and honest recommendations. The room was exactly as described- newly remodeled, clean, conveniently located, great view from balcony, washer/dryer and a small kitchenette. The only minor issue with the condo was a plumbing mishap that caused the bathroom sink to fill with water when the washer/dryer was in use. We reported the issue to Kristen and was informed the owner would be arranging for a repair at a later date. Hanalei Bay Resort had beautiful grounds and a nice swimming pool/hot tub. The poolside table and chairs seemed a bit run down but we weren't bothered by this since we spent most of our time exploring the nearby beaches. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone wanting a self-service style vacation at a laid back resort (we are in our mid-30's and prefer "do it yourself" vacations). We rarely came in contact with other guests at the resort and heard minimal noise from other parties. For dining in the area, make sure to check out Bubba's Burgers, Kalypso and Postcards Cafe. All in all, a great place to stay! ”

April from Columbus, OH on 09/20/2011 said:

“ We were very pleased with our stay at the Hanalei Bay Resort, Condo 1206. The location was ideal and the price was right! This condo has easy access to the pool and parking lot and the view from the lanai is hard to beat. Amenities are essentially like a hotel room but there is a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and toaster so we were able to do some cooking for breakfast each morning. It's a steep hike back from the beach but the value of this place is incredibly hard to beat. Apparently the restaurant burned over the summer so it was not operational but there are plenty of great places nearby. Enjoy! ”

a hotel room sold as a condo

Overall rating:
Mariah060 from Redwood City, CA on 04/15/2011 said:

“ This room is basically a hotel room being rented as a condo. It has two beds and a small table and 2 chairs. An interior connecting door to the "condo" next door allowed higher levels of noise than would normally be expected. The "kitchen" consists of a microwave and mini refrigerator located in a closet in the bathroom. There is a very early check-out time and an outrageous $90.00 cleaning fee to clean one room and a bathroom. The view from this property is very nice and the grounds of the property are pleasant and well maintained. However, next time we'll just rent a hotel, avoid the cleaning fee, and have a bit more reasonable check out time. ”

Manager response:

“ Dear Ferguson Family: As you must have noted by the pictures and videos, the facility that you rented is "a large studio" that consists of two double beds in a very large room with deck, bathroom, and dressing area. It also has a butler's closet so that the visitor can use a microwave, coffee pot, and toaster--to prepare snacks, not meals. To mention, the doors to the connecting condo are solid and
noise insulated and both parties have to stand directly next to them to hear any noise. The walls
between the condos are solid concrete, not allowing noise to penetrate. This "studio" is for one or two people, not a family. The size and amenities for this remodeled, clean, and well-situated studio are very inexpensive compared to any of the hotel rooms in the Princeville and Hanalei area and are a "real bargain".

Review of 1206

Gena from Seatttle, WA on 10/21/2010 said:

“ No complaints except we could hear every word the people in the room next door (1205) were saying. It was like there wasn't even a wall between us. Their voices weren't muffled, they were loud and clear. And the people weren't yelling, just speaking in normal voices. We woke up most mornings listening to them talk. Other than that, the room was decent for the price and there's a nice view from lanai (although again, the same privacy issue from the people next door). ”

Manager response:

“ The inner doors between both units have been changed out to solid, soundproofed doors to eliminate this problem. The walls between units are solid concrete--eight inches thick. We are always making improvements to make the experience in our condominiums a wonderful one. Mahalo.....

“ This condo was perfect for our family of 3. It was actually roomier than we had expected and Oh, so comfortable and quiet!! I don't think we have all slept that well in ages! Everything we needed was provided and it really felt like a home-base. The pool and hot tub never seemed crowded and were awesome to look forward to at the end of a days' exploration around the island. We loved the Foodland at Princeville and really appreciated the "locals card" we received with our condo key. They did decide to cut the jungle down on day 2 of our stay to increase the view and our daughter was sad to see the forest go, but we understand there's never a good time to do these things. It didn't deter the birds from visiting us on the lanai each morning. I have been missing coffee on the lanai every day since returning! Thanks also for the gifts upon arrival - that was a lovely surprise. We used the beach bag every day on the trip! ”

Jena from California on 01/23/2011 said:

“ My husband and I frequent Kauai as we are moving there this summer. I used to live in Oahu, and know the in's and out's of what to expect when staying on an Island. I came across this studio and it looked like it would be the perfect fit for us and our 1 year old daughter. It was a small unit, only because there is a lot of un-necessary large furniture in the room. (The huge table and chairs) I think with some re-arranging of some furniture, the place will look and feel much bigger. They were so kind and left us a pack n play crib for our daughter to sleep in, and a high chair. It was perfect! The view was beautiful, the condo was fully stocked with everything we needed, and more. The staff at the resort were kind and very helpful. The pool was beautiful and a lot of fun and the jacuzzi was one of the most relaxing jacuzzis we have been in. The rides to and from the studio was very nice and was a god-send with groceries and a sleeping baby!! The BBQ guy by the pool was awesome and the food was yummy. Too bad there is not a bar, would make this place stellar. **My only complaint was that the studio could have been much cleaner. As soon as we walked in, we smelled mildew and a musty smell. We opened the sliding glass doors to get some air in, but it didn't help. It just didn't feel or smell like a freshly cleaned room. By the 3rd night, the smell was still there, and our 2 friends who came over for a BBQ commented on the smell. I couldn't handle it anymore, I went to market to get air fresheners! (Not cheap) We visited our friends' condo on the same property, and their room did not have this smell at all and felt a lot cleaner. Don't get me wrong, we loved staying here, and we will stay at Hanalei Bay Resort when we return, but whatever cleaning service is used on the condo, I would make sure they are doing 100 bucks worth of work as that is about how much we had to pay for a cleaning fee. A fresh, clean smell/feel would have made this a perfect stay! ”

It is extremely comfortable and clean and up to date. All beach equipment is supplied, wonderful kitchen supplies. For the daily/weekly rate it is indeed a great find. The resort itself is also very nice. Great pool/jacuzzi area. Good service for what little is offered there right now.

“ The unit is very nice & the price is good, has a nice view of the forest, lots of birds close to the pool & jacuzzi. only minor drawback is the parking situation. We had to park in the loading dock/maintenance workers area. but this was no problem for us, some may not feel comfortable. there is other parking available but its a distance. the only other problem we encountered was the lack of lighting in the parking area & had to get help to find our unit (we arrived at 9 p.m.) however there is good enough lighting once you know the layout of the property & the paths are all lit up. Overall it was a great value for the quality of resort this unit is in, very beautiful. The unit itself was well stocked with everthing we needed for cooking & bathing etc. Bed was very comfortable TV was good w/ cable. remote control air conditioning was very convienent. early the next morning of our stay we found a nice little gift bag with candies/cookies beach bags etc. this made us feel welcome & appreciated. mahalo ”

Ice machine and BBQ grill is a walk farther than one would have liked. Very comfortable bed. Soft towels, Clean bathroom. Great Vizio flat screen TV. Beach chairs are very handy. Very clean except we had scout ants on the counter with no food and killed to roaches by the door. But bugs are part of Kaua'i I suppose. Kitchen items well supplied although we did not cook other than toast and coffee. Ac worked very well. But did not use much and ceiling fan on low was sufficient. Wished there was free internet.

Hawaii Fan from Washington D.C. on 08/27/2010 said:

“ My wife and I have been going to the north shore of Kauai for several years now and can't imagine a location more beautiful. You can tell this condo has recently been redone and has all the amenities (new carpet and furniture, big flat-screen tv w/ DVD, etc.). Pretty comfy bed too. The kitchen area isn't big, but is well equipped - we cooked at least a half-dozen meals in it and also took advantage of the outdoor bbq's the resort has. Kauai has so much delicious local fish and vegetables it's a pleasure to cook there. It often rains late at night and when you wake up this condo has a beautiful view of the mountains with waterfalls galore. There's a nice lanai (where we'd eat breakfast) that overlooks those mountains and a jungle/forest that has wild avocado trees, mango and chickens (we ate avocado and mango but not the chickens). I've stayed on the ocean side of the resort and while you may get an ocean view, it's so much quieter and more peaceful on the mountain side. Considering we spend most of our time on the beach, it's a real treat to come back to the condo and sit on that quiet lanai without another person in sight - and the stars at night! In short, wish I was still there and would recommend it to anyone. ”

Stephen from Oshkosh, WI on 08/07/2010 said:

“ Wow. In a place like Kauai where prices can run pretty high, this place was a great value. When I say "value", I do not mean that the place was good considering the price, I mean that the place was amazing, and the price was amazing. The kitchenette has almost anything you would need to cook while you are there. We brought some extra kitchen items unnecessarily because we were unsure of the situation, and ended up not needing them. The coffee machine has a timer, which is not a big deal, but it's nice to have especially on vacation. A nice gift basket was also left welcoming us to the island. The lanai with the table and two chairs is great. We would have coffee every morning out there, and watch the roosters and chickens downstairs. We also were able to see someone trim the two palm trees right outside the lanai. btw, when they trim the trees, you can really see the mountains in addition to the garden in the back. The garden view was great also, and birds would sit on the railing just feet from us as we ate breakfast. The bed is large and comfy, and the tv worked well and had good features (i.e. plugging an mp3 player into it via USB cord to play music).The bathroom is clean. The luggage stands at the end of the bed made a convenient place to access our bags without being in the way. ”

“ Very important - this unit comes equipped with a full kitchen! Many of the other studios/1 bedroom units say they have a "kitchenette" but only have a microwave or toaster and coffee maker. Unit 1525 has a stove, fridge, dishwasher, sink and a stocked kitchen. It also has a pull-out couch that our 3 year old was thrilled with. We found this lovely condo because our little family decided to extend our stay for an extra week and put out the a.p.b the night before. Aloha Condos was incredibly quick, friendly and accomodating in their response. And as a bonus - the value for unit 1525 was amazing! Very comfortable and nicely appointed. This unit is also close to the pool. Hanalei Bay Resort is our preferred condo/resort on the North Shore. Beautiful, mature grounds, excellent waterfall jacuzzi and lagoon pool (prefect for kids).

“ This simple but tastefully decorated and comfortable condo was the ideal accomodation for which to base ourselves while exploring Kauai. The kitchenette was ample and had everything we needed, the bed large and comfortable. The only shortcoming was the common doorway to the adjacent condo which was to enable a large family to use both units if needed, although entry was not possible between units during our stay we did experience quite audible conversations from the other guests next door, sometimes in the early hours of the morning. This might be easily fixed with a fitted peice of 'foam' insulation that could be left in the door space when not being used as a thoroughfare? Apart from that, it is a very comfortable unit that I would highly recommend to others. The staff at the Hanalei Bay Resort were excellent. ”

“ Any thoughts of a great resort quickly slide away as you are delivered to condo 1557. The golf cart takes you by the staff break alcove, the garbage dumpsters, the resort laundry, you name all those beautiful behind the scenes locals. This is the only way to get to Condo 1557 and the nearly 20 condos in this part of the "resort". Each day I would need to walk by all this to get to the parking area. I referred to several guests that I was staying in the "ghetto". On the flip side the condo was beautifully furnished and comfortable, although not very sound proof, I could hear the neighbors next door quite plainly. The whole complex was just that, a condo complex, not what I call a resort at all. You are totally on your own, no activities, no staff(except at the temporary desk as you arrive), no activities, no sundries store, etc etc. ”

Manager response:

“ UPDATE March 17, 2011: The path to the pool from the condo has been redone and is again open. The maintenance area has been remodeled and the dumpsters are now kept behind gates. The pool and surrounding area have been completely resurfaced and are working great! The restaurant and lounge won't likely be open until 2013 or later.

Thank you for your review and I apologize for the current state of Hanalei Bay Resort.

Yes, the resort is currently in a transition period following the fire in July 2011 that destroyed the roof of the main building at the resort The roof has been removed and most of the demolition is done and the rebuilding is now beginning.

The main pool and hot tub area are being resurfaced and is expected to be functioning again in late December 2011. The front desk, restaurant, lounge and support areas (like the sundry shop) are being redesigned and are expected to open again in 2013.

2012 will be a transitional year at the resort but it is still the best location in Princeville with a beautiful walk to the beach. My hope is that you'll come back after this transition to be pampered with Aloha and to see how wonderful this part of the world truly is.

Easily a 4+ Star Condo if it Was Cleaner

Overall rating:
tomdor from Tacoma, WA on 08/31/2011 said:

“ The Condo: After much online searching, we booked this condo for our honeymoon. This condo has an amazing view and the privacy on the lanai is second to none. We absolutely loved enjoying our morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai. A major bonus was the boogie boards and snorkel sets in the closet. They also had beach mats, tennis rackets and a few coolers. We really enjoyed our stay. However, it would have been better if the place was cleaner. The floor in the bathroom had hair in the corners and when we looked under the bed there was an empty water bottle and a wrapper of some sort. Also, the faucet in the bathroom was dripping when we arrived and progressively got worse over our stay to the point where it was no longer dripping but lightly running water. We don't like to waste water so we called the front desk and they promptly sent a maintenance crew out to fix it but they couldn't get a part for it so that was that. The Resort: The pool is absolutely beautiful. We didn't spend very much time at the pool because we were always at the beach, but a few times during our stay we lounged by the pool in the evening and then walked down to the beach to watch the sunset. The grounds are so lush and well kept and the walk to the beach isn't bad either. Some people got a ride from a golf cart but we elected to walk-the path is fairly steep in spots. The restaurant had burned down in July so there is no place to eat onsite. Because of the fire, the condo is only accessible through the employee parking lot and you have to walk past dumpsters and a maintenance office/garage. This wasn't ideal but not that big of a deal. Although you have to drive down a street with a bunch of speed bumps, we loved the location of this resort. ”

Manager response:

“ My sincere apologies for the cleaning issues that you experienced on your honeymoon. Remedies were put in place after receiving your review (I wish that you had contacted us during your stay - I live 15 minutes away) and we will continue to check to ensure that my condo is presented in a clean and well maintained state to all of our guests.

Although we appreciate that the front desk can respond to maintenance issues inside of the condo (they are a great group of persons with aloha), we prefer that you contact me or my local staff via the information provided in your check-in materials and posted inside of my condo whenever there are issues that need attention inside of the condo.

Unfortunately the fire in July 2011 was still being cleaned up during your honeymoon and it's too bad about the timing. We were very fortunately that nobody was injured. As of March 2012 you can again reach the condo via the path to and from the pool. If guests choose to walk past the dumpsters and maintenance offices, they have been remodeled and hidden along with removal of vegetation that now makes it a much more pleasant stroll.

With Aloha,

Jim Dornfeld, Owner, Hanalei Bay Resort, Condo 1557 ”

Denise B from San Francisco, CA on 09/08/2011 said:

“ I was slightly skeptical about this unit when I booked it because the price was so reasonable and I wasn't sure about staying on a murphy bed. However, I was so pleased with what I found. The pictures accurately represented the unit, and actually the unit seemed a bit bigger than shown. The murphy bed was comfortable - I was really surprised. I slept well and it was easy to put up and down. The living space was well laid out, comfortable (I napped on the couch twice in 4 days), and felt homey. The view from the lanai was beautiful and allowed me to see the beauty of Kauai from the unit. The kitchen was well stocked. I ate in and packed lunches and the kitchen had all the pots, tupperware, and gear you could want and need. The bathroom was a girl's dream. Large vanity area with drawers for my stuff and a separate room with the toilet and shower. The quickest way to the unit from the parking area is by passing the complex dumpsters, which is not pretty but frankly, I didn't care. And, if you didn't want to see dumpsters, you can go the long way. I didn't find this to be any sort of problem. Finally, the owners / management company were very responsive as I asked questions prior to and after booking. If I return, I would stay here again and if I come with my family, I would look into booking 1558 and the companion unit, 1557. ”

MH from Kansas City on 06/25/2010 said:

“ This unit has a beautiful view! We enjoyed having coffee on the lanai each morning and watching the surfers. The fridge and coffee maker were handy so we didn't ever leave for breakfast. The location is great and we had just a short walk to the beach. The bed was comfortable. When we found ants in our bathroom and made a call, the problem was quickly taken care of. The T.V. had a weird glitch and would alternate from dark to light. The unit was a bit outdated and due to the high ceilings, there were some cob webs that hadn't been attended to. All in all, for the price this was a fantastic deal with a view to last a lifetime. Thanks for making our trip a wonderful one! ”

Comfortable, afordable room, not a great location.

Gala from Kansas City on 05/29/2010 said:

“ Pros: The accommodations were clean and comfortable and very reasonably priced for the area, and the staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel pool was huge and beautifully landscaped with waterfalls and plants. Cons: The resort is located in the middle of what seems to be a massive golf community a little bit of a drive from Hanalai Bay, beaches, forests, restaurants, and anything resembling natural or authentic Hawaii. I could go to a rich suburb of my own town to stay in a similar area to this golfing community. If you don't mind driving a ways through all the condos and golf courses to get to the more scenic/natural areas then it's great. Also, cancellation policies seem extremely strict. ”

Manager response:

“ I hope you were able to enjoy the view from the 3303 lanai; the panoramic view of Hanalei Bay and the Makana Mountain Ridge, also know as Bali Hai, the beautiful Hawaiian foliage and the glorious colors of the sunset evenings. Also the paved path in front of the unit which is a seven minute walk (by request can be a complimentary golf cart shuttle) to the top rated white sand beach, Puu Poa Beach where you will find reef protected swimming and snorkeling. Next to the beach is the St. Regis pool side restaurant open to the public for your dinning delights.

I hope you did not miss John's Hanalei Bay Resort poolside fare open in the middle of the day. John is a native Hawaiian who loves to cook "local" short order fare and, "talk story." And the price is right.

If you had time to walk the resort's 17 + tropical acres you would have found native plantings along with the expanse of beautiful flowers. Hawaiian? Yes, your room furniture featured local teak wood. While the design is contemporary, the furniture was hand made by a local artisan. The quilt on your bed was authentic Hawaiian hand-made, quilted by island women. When renting at Hanalei Bay Resort, you are not in a hotel with 100's of look-a-like rooms but in a private owner's unit where individuality, quality and cleanliness are important.

Located at the water's edge of Hanalei Bay and the Pacific Ocean, yes, you do have to drive by condos to arrive. When it was originally built over 30 years ago we were without neighbors. Progress brings company but you have to agree that the spacious property is the top spot on the island and perhaps worth the effort. ”

“ This place was a gem. We've stayed in Hanalei Bay Resort before, but this was less expensive, had a better view and a killer location - with quick access to the beach path and very close to parking (which is an issue if you are carrying groceries). The agents alohacondos.com, provided great service and their communication was excellent. The only drawback is that you share a lanai with the condo next door, but there are carefully placed plants so it's not really an issue. It also provided great views for my 2 year old son to do some chicken spotting. When we come back, we'll stay here again... for sure ”

“ Check-in was easy and quick. front desk gave us the room keys and had an attendant load up his golf cart with our belongings.He came to our room with everything (including all the groceries from Costco). The room was clean & neat & had all the ammenities seen on the video & pictures. The attached bedroom came in handy so extended family could have their own refrigerator, microwave & TV. The main room was large enough for cooking & dining for all 3. The view was clearly unobstructed from the Bali Hai view and coud see surfers daily in the water. The a/C takes a while to cool off room & there is no vent for cooking odors. Need to open doors for cross ventilation. The screen doors need maintenance. The W/D was large & ample & came w/soap & oxyclean detergent enough for 1 week. A slight musty odor from loft where king bed is located. There's Bbq'd food for purchase at the pool during lunch hours however no bfst or dinner cafe available. Location close enough to supermarket in Princeville w/reasonable prices & good selections. Haena state park & Tunnels beach only 30 min ride to north. The pool was adequate,pleanty of chairs & not crowded. Best overall: view, location, A/C, W/D, kitchen. On third floor -got a daily work out walking up & down. ”

“ We really enjoyed the condo and it exceeded our expectations, particularly given the value. The resort is great with a beautiful pool, access to the beach (wtih snorkeling / surfing) and extensive tennis options (courts, clinics, lessons, friendly people to play with). For the condo, having the kitchen was very helpful as the resort restaurant and bar are closed. The views are spectactular and the two floors of living makes the condo feel more like a house than a hotel room. While some of the fixtures are dated, they are nice, clean, and well attended. I am 6' 3" tall and didn't have a problem with the ceiling fan or slanted ceiling in the loft bedroom as did another reviewer. The mattress was also fine and comfortable different from the other reviewer's opinion. In terms of negatives, one does have to get used to the going up and down the stairs for the bathroom at night and the bedroom area could use a dresser. There was plenty of closet space throughout, but no dresser for clothing. (I'd recommend swapping the piano in the bedroom for drawers.) There is no elevator in the resort so while the top floor has the views, quiet, and space, you have to be ready to walk up and down the stairs. All in all, we had a great trip and really enjoyed our stay. Aloha Condos was prompt and courteous while also allowing us to check out late to maximize our time prior to the flight home. ”

The location was a bit remote which we also liked. Having the bed in the loft was a struggle as we are both tall so we needed to be conscious of the beams and the fan. The bed could use a new mattress, which I am sure could be a great expense in Hawaii. Kristen and the staff at Hanalei Bay were all very accommodating. ”

Everything about this jewel-- its location, view, and interior decorations-- exceeded our hopes for a home away from home. We could only marvel at what we saw. Moreover, every request was not only met with warmth and kindness, but with a willingness to make it happen if possible-- it was like working with kind relatives. Also something to marvel at.

“ This was an amazing condo. It is much more impressive in person than the pictures on the website. When you walk in , you are awe struck by the beautiful view of Hanelai Bay. The condo has a bar high table with 4 comfy bar stools on the lanai. We would sip our morning coffee, looking out at Hanelai Bay. One minute their was a light rain, and the next minute the sun was out and we were treated to a beautiful rainbow. This condo is totally updated I loved the beautiful granite kitchen with every convenience We stopped at Cosco, by the airport in Lihue {across from the mall} and stocked up on good wine, fish and steaks. We enjoyed grilling most nights and catching the sunsets as we ate dinner on the lanai. The pools were nice we enjoyed the circular pool, {very private} and at the large pool you could get grilled burgers from 11-2.We loved Hanelai Dolphin and one day picked up ahi and sushi to take back and enjoy on our lanai at sunset. Postcards and Mediteranean Gourmet are also good choices for dining out. We had a fun Saturday morning going to the farmers market in Hanelai {we loved Sal's salsa} .Their are great beaches, you can walk down to the beach at the resort,{if you are lugging alot beach cairs boogy boards, call for a tram to take you down to the beach, and you can call them to pick you up[ this beach is shared by the St Regis} The St Regis has a luau on Thursday nights and we enjoyed having a drink listening to great jazz and enjoying their spectacular view {that's on Sunday at 4} We did zip-lining at princeville ranch and that was a fun adventure. We can't wait to get back to this beautiful resort. ”

“ This complex is great and the unit is even better! Great view from balconey and very spacious. The unit was very clean and comfortable. And the master bed is so comfortable. The pool is very nice. Large and has a nice tropical feel. The water is wonderful. Short walk to St. Regis where you can watch an amazing sunset. Best view on the north shore! No downfalls for the unit.It is perfect. The only problems I could see would be for people who are elderly. The resort is very hilly and hard to walk. Also, if you want immediate beach access it is a little bit of a walk. We enjoyed the walk to the beach, there is some great scenery. Also, the hilly walking didn't bother us as we are active. I wouldn't let it defer you from staying here even if you don't like walking. They have people with golf carts that will take you anywhere you want to go. If you buy groceries you can call them and they will meet you at your car, help you load the groceries, drive to your unit, and help you carry them up. This place was great. Loved the unit, would most definately stay here again! I miss it already!!! ”

“ Unit 4323 was beautiful; what a view! The unit is spacious and comfortable. It was tastefully furnished, and thoroughly appointed. The recently remodeled kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and more. The beach equipment was appreciated, as was the welcome tote bag. The tempurpedic bed in the main room is a luxury, especially when combined with the song birds and the view of the bay and mountains at sunrise. It is obvious that a lot of thoughtfulness and care was put into the accomodations. The location in the resort is great, not too far to walk to the car, and close to the main pool. I would gladly stay here again and again. The only downside to staying on the north side of the island is that it takes a long time to drive to the other side. Kristen was a pleasure to work with, and extremely helpful and professional. Thank you for allowing us a magical stay! We hope to be back soon. ”

The kitchen is equipped with all you need - except a tea pot is missing - apparently tea is not the preferred drink on the island. We had stayed on Oahu, Hawaii, Maui and at last in Kauai. In total we were on the islands for almost 3 weeks - the stay at you place was the top. We would have liked to stay longer, but our return flights were booked, as was the Condo (people who know apparently recommend this Condo, which we are also doing to friends of us who want to come later this year.) the arrangements and booking through Mrs. Kirsten Greene and the immediate support when we had arrived has our great appreciation.

HBR/Bali Hai Restaurant being closed during our stay and the prohibition on getting drinks by the pool were our only complaints.

“ We stayed at Hanalei Bay Resort condo #4323 (Oct 2008) after being upgraded (moved) from a smaller lock off room due to being informed that both the restaurant and lounge had been closed.This was our honeymoon after being married days previous at the Grand Hyatt Kauai south shore which we stayed for the week. Let me start by saying we are not condo people or had not considered being the type before our stay. We arrived at night and were amazed at the quality and decor of the condo and touched by a welcome basket filled with goodies and wine. In the morning I opened the shades and literally gasped at the most breathtaking view I had ever seen. The picture from the website does not do it justice, the view is AMAZING. The condo owners thought of everything from snorkel gear to candles every detail they included was so nice. We had a wonderful honeymoon and fell in love with the north shore! When you envision Hawaii this is it!!! We did have some issues with the dishwasher and drain in the bath but the condo was getting an overhaul the day after we left. Advice: 1. Have your breakfast and happy hour at sunset on the lanai. 2. Go to the fish market and grill for dinner 3. Zip line or hike. 4. Postcards Restaurant for a lovely meal. and 5. R E L A X ”

“ My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at HBR in #4323. The owners have put much effort and care into their condo.; it is beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, well equipped, well maintained and very clean. We enjoy cooking, and the kitchen had everything we needed (and more) to prepare meals. The BBQ centre was very convenient to the condo. Eating on the lanai was wonderful with the incredible views. The beautiful lanai furniture was one of the many highlights of this condo, with raised table/chairs to maximize the view, and comfy lounge chairs. The in-unit washer/dryer was nice to have, although for those renting a studio unit, there is a laundry facility just a few steps from this building. The king size bed was very comfortable. Both the living room and bedroom had a full wall of windows/patio doors to take in the magnificent views of the bay and Bali Hai. In all of our travels I don't think I've stayed anywhere with a view as beautiful as this! The owners have thought of just about everything for guests' enjoyment, with boogie boards, beach mats, umbrellas, cooler, etc. The resort itself is very nice ... beautiful landscaping/gardens, impressive & large free form pool with waterfalls, and nice lobby where the Happy Talk Lounge is. There are 8 tennis courts spread out throughout the resort. The walk to the beach down the paved path takes about 5 minutes .... it's a bit of a workout coming up, but we liked the exercise, and for those who want a ride, there is a call-box at the bottom to call for a shuttle to the top. Can't wait to go back! ”

The views from both the main lanai and the master bedroom lanai were breathtaking. Having a full kitchen was so nice; we bought fresh produce at the farmer's market a short distance from the condo, as well as fresh fish from the two local fish markets. We enjoyed many meals out on the lanai. Not only did we have a gorgeous view of the Hanalei Bay but also a view of Bali Hi and the waterfalls coming down from the mountain. We also enjoyed the short drive to several beautiful beaches. Our only disappointment was the fact that the Bali Hi Restaurant and Tiki Lounge were both closed for remodeling at the time of our stay. We would stay at the condo again if these amenities were available. ”
