“ stayed in another HBR condo 6 weeks prior. Really liked this condo's layout and topfloor open ceiling. the view is hard to beat for a studio. I would stay in this condo again. I would probably put an in-condo washer/dryer on the wishlist, but overall real happy with the value/price ratio. ”

 

Amazing, relaxing spot for two

“ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 4324. It was an affordable way to get away to paradise! The room was clean, comfortable, and well decorated. The view was outstanding! We spent many hours on the Lanai resting, reading, and relaxing. It was quiet and felt very private. That alone was refreshing. The bed was adequate and there was a small refrig, microwave, coffee machine and toaster for breakfasts or leftovers. The resort's restaurant, the Happy Talk Lounge, was actually really good and had decent prices for Hawaii. They had good entertainment there just about every night and the view from the restaurant is breathtaking. The pool at the resort is top of the line and Condo 4324 is really close to the pool and everything else, especially the beach. The beach area was perfect. You can snorkel right at beach, or go out a little bit to catch a wave on one of the calmer days. If you brought a bunch of stuff down and don't want to carry it back, no problem! There's a phone at the base of the trail that will call the front desk. They'll send a cart right on down to pick you up and take you wherever you want. We stayed a week there, came back refreshed, and would be more than happy to stay there again! ”

Great value; wonderful view; updated Hanalei Bay Resort condo/ho

mccolo from Richland, WA on 10/29/2009 said:

“ The room/condo (one room with microwave, mini fridge) has been beautifully updated. It has a great view of Hanalei Bay with a lovely deck. The king bed was new and very comfortable. Price wise--this met our needs. The resort itself is a bit run down and overgrown. Be prepared to walk to the unit; or ask for a ride on the golf cart--they were always happy to do this for us. I would recommend unit 4324 for two people! It met our needs just perfectly! ”

“ We LOVED our stay in Condo 4324 at the Hanalei Bay Resort. Great location, great views, very comfortable bed, nice to have a little fridge, microwave, coffee maker and toaster ... it was all good. We enjoyed eating breakfast on our lanai in the morning - the deck chairs are great. Kristen at Aloho Condos was very helpful, quick to respond to any inquiries we had, and even put a welcome basket in the condo for us. We had a wonderful week in Kauai and would highly recommend this condo. ”

AZjkk from Gilbert, AZ on 09/27/2009 said:

“ This condo is just as pictured...beautiful. It was recently remodeled and is very clean. The bedding and mattress are comfortable and of high quality. I prefer a washable duvet/cover but would certainly stay here again. Although my husband and I didn't mind the hikes, I would caution those who have difficulty walking up and down steep and semi-steep pavement, as the entire resort is designed around the terrain to maximize views. ”

StlTrip from St. Louis, MO on 06/18/2009 said:

“ Excellent price in a fantastic spot on the island ... many sites and activities nearby. Room was in good condition and had a great view of the bay. My only complaint is that I would have liked the rental agency to be more consistent with responses to requests - sometimes they responded immediately while others I had to call again or send reminder emails. ”

 

Secluded paradise, quiant accomodations.

deni21 from Corpus Christi, Texas on 06/17/2009 said:

“ If you love the north side of the island and Hanalei town is your thing, than this is the place for you. A short walk from your room and you are on the most secluded beach...for now, until the St. Regis opens back up. Great views from the balcony and relaxed island decor make this an ideal room for two. Decent bathroom and plenty of room. The resort overall could use a place to dine and relax, ie bar, but you are so close to town with many options. Don't miss Bar Acuda, best place to dine! The pool and tennis courts are an extra bonus if you have time. Have stayed at this resort over 10 years ago, each room is unique and I will request this one again. ”

 

Perfect gem at an amazing rate!

“ I can't rave enough about this amazing condo at Hanalei Bay Resort. We also stayed at a nice bed and breakfast on the South Shore and at the Sheraton in Poipu but this was, by far, our favorite place. Kristen, at Aloha Condos was very organized about confirming dates, payment, and sending directions. There was a large welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived, which left us feeling very appreciated. The room was beautifully decorated and furnished with an incredibly comfortable king sized bed, an impressive marble bathroom, plush rug, and a great view. There was just enough kitchen equipment to cover all out needs (eating breakfast in the room, storing and packing our own lunches, and reheating dinner leftovers). The resort itself is in the perfect spot for exploring the north side of Kauai (better than the south in my opinion), it has a great pool, and breathtaking views. The resort itself it about to undergo extensive renovation so it can only get better. We liked the room so much we wished we had spent out entire vacation here. I highly recommend it. ”

GreenMtn from Boston, MA on 04/05/2009 said:

“ This condo was perfect for our honeymoon. The view of Hanalei Bay from our lanai was absolutely amazing and we ate breakfact every morning out there. The room was clean, large, and met all of our needs. There was even a mini-fridge and microwave so we could keep drinks and snacks in the room. We were totally fine with no frills like room service or daily maid service. It was worth the cheaper prices when compared to other nearby hotels (e.g., St. Regis Princeville Hotel which was next door). The hotel property was very quiet and so relaxing! An employee told us the hotel was 80% full, yet we rarely saw other guests. The pool was fine and we enjoyed the 5-7 minute walk to the beach (the path winds through the trees behind the hotel). Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We loved our room and when we return to Kauai we will certainly try to stay in this same condo at the HBR. ”

Carol Occidental from Occidental,CA on 04/03/2009 said:

“ We liked the resort and pool even though the restaurant was closed. There was a really good lunch barbaque set up at the pool that was very reasonable priced and yummy food. The room was nicely furnished although smallish. It smelled a bit musty. For the price,$99.00 per night, it was a great value. They had a workable set up for a no kitchen unit with a closet that had coffee maker, microwave, toaster and some dishes. There was a dorm size refrigerator which allowed us to store wine and stuff for Mai Tai's and breakfast fixings. This is what we like and it was lovely having breakfast and drinks enjoying the beautiful view. The teak deck lounges were so comfortable you could take a nap. When the weather was good, it seemed perfect. When it rained hard and we couldn't get out so much, it seemed too small. I'd stay there again, especially if it wasn't the winter. We got very lucky and had mostly good weather. ”

Decent facility

Overall rating:
Tourist from Washington, D.C. on 01/08/2010 said:

“ The view from the balcony is absolutely terrific, but the condo itself is just a place to stay. Building and furnishings are dated, carpets stained, small plain pool was under repair, wild chickens will wake you at 4:00 a.m., and you are at the mercy of fairly unreliable shuttle service to get around(no cars are allowed in the resort area). The locale is nice, though, right on the Bay overlooking Bali Hai, and the beach area, shared with the Princeville Resort, is quite nice. It's a servicable facility -- clean and all appliances (including AC) worked well. Since we were out touring most of the time, it was fine for our purposes. ”

“ Who knew November in Hanalei Bay would be so wonderful! We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the resort and our condo #7307 was as perfect as we had hoped, for a good off-season price. Beautiful views every morning, well kept, secluded and yet close to everything the resort had to offer. All the amenities one could need... and we will absolutely be back. Perhaps with the little one! Thank you Hanalei Bay Resort! ”

Satisfied customer from Texas on 08/27/2009 said:

“ Friendly staff, convenient location for the north side of the island. Hiking, ziplining, scuba diving were all close by. The condo itself was roomy and comfortable. The beach was not the best in the area, but better beaches are close by. Only downside to our visit were the 4 cockroaches we saw in the kitchen. We made sure we kept all our food in the fridge. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review and I am glad that you enjoyed your visit at my lovely condo at Hanalei Bay Resort.

Thank you as well for pointing out the extra little guests that decided to visit you in the kitchen during your stay. It's always a good idea to leave your foodstuffs in the fridge while in Hawaii but if a previous guest party had left out any food, that would explain why they came back looking for more.

We've contacted our cleaning services and maintenance and they've taken care of the problem and will continue to monitor to make sure the little guests don't come to visit our future guests.

With Aloha,

Holly Laughlin, Owner, Hanalei Bay Resort 7307, 7308 & 7307-08 ”

Stuck in the Concrete Jungle from New York, NY on 08/15/2009 said:

“ My wife and I stayed here for a few days during our honeymoon on Kauai, visiting from Manhattan. It was very clean and comfortable. The Resort is a great, more 'classic kauai' small nook in princeville. 707 was nicely furnished, a very comfy bed, and a lanai you won't forget anytime soon. The restaurant that is situated here and in many guidebooks was not yet open. But that would have added a lot. The people that worked here were very nice and accommodating. You definitely feel like you are on a resort instead of just a condo. Keep in mind although the pier at Hanalei Bay is right around the corner on the beach, if you try and walk there you will probably cut your feet on coral trying. (yes i did). It's very rocky beach below the hotel and it's really best for snorkeling or sun tanning. Once the St. Regis opens later this year, and the main HBR restaurant opens then you would really be set here. Recommended. ”

“ One of the most picturesque places I have ever stayed. The view from the living room is phenomenal. You can walk to the sand. The cool town of Hanalei is a 5 minute drive. The pool is beautiful. And you wake up every morning staring at puff the magic dragon. My wife and I honeymooned here and this condo was a big part of the wonderful memories we have of Kauai. Very clean, great amenities, comfortable bed. Avoid the time share talk if you can, however. ”

The condo was very well equipped with beach towels, snorkeling gear, beach equipment, tennis rackets and all the kitchen supplies. All the family loved the beautiful pool and tennis courts. The Happy Talk Lounge was perfect for evening glasses of wine overlooking Bali Hai. Thank you very much. We had a wonderful time. Mary ”

lhcinva from Virginia on 08/06/2009 said:

“ The condo was very nice, with fantastic views of Hanalei Bay. It was well equipped and comfortable. The resort had some issues, the small pool near the condo was not usable, the spa was broken, the restaurant and bar were closed for renovations and the beach was not very nice and right next to ongoing renovation/construction at the neighboring Princeville hotel. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review and staying in our lovely condo.

We are sorry that the small pool and spa were not usable during your stay. They are now repaired and working. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We do hope you enjoyed the other large tropical pool at the resort with waterfalls.

The Happy Talk Lounge was re-opened on July 13, 2009, but the restaurant is still closed.

The major renovation of the Princeville Hotel converting it to a luxurious St. Regis Hotel is scheduled to be complete in October 2009.

The NE corner of the two-mile crescent-shaped Hanalei Bay Beach that we share with the Princeville St Regis Hotel is great for snorkeling, swimming, exploring, and relaxing. In October 2009, it will return to the incredible beauty that earned it the #1 spot on “Dr. Beach” Stephen P. Leatherman's 2009 list of top 10 beaches. He has compiled the list annually since 1991. ”

It is a nice resort and the unit has everything you could want: well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, great view from the lanai, videos and books that feature the area, tennis courts, a beautiful pool and spa and much more. The resort will drive you to your car if you request a golf cart, so you don't have to exert yourself too much. I loved it and highly recommend it. ”

“ We had a great time in 6303. We loved that the location was close to the pool and the parking. We also enjoyed the view of the bay, mountains and the little pool. The beds and furniture were very nice as well as the linens. Thank you so much for the use of the beach chairs, sunscreen, boogie boards and everything else that was in the closet to borrow. That was very helpful. The kitchen was very nice and had most all of the things we needed. GREAT PLACE If I had to suggest something it would be a movie library and possibly another cabinet in the kitchen to store staple good like salt/pepper, bottled herbs and spices, cooking spray, soy sauce, oil and things that have a long shelf life. We would definitely rent this unit again. ”

“ What an excellent place to go on your honeymoon!!! This was a beautiful condo situated in what I would argueably call one of the most beautiful places on earth!!! There was a really great view of the ocean from the extremely large balcony! It was neat being there in winter to watch the huge 30+ foot waves crashing. The condo itself was great. There was a fully equipped kitchen with just about anything you would need to cook with. The washer and dryer in the unit were really fast and worked very well! Also, I would really like to come back with friends and family, there was easily enough room to sleep 6 people in the condo. There were two what looked like at least full if not queen beds in the loft, the couch folded out into a queen bed and the king sized bed in the bedroom. Besides the condo, the grounds themselves were fabulous! They have a gorgeous pool, a really nice heated spa, a really nice restaurant with great food, live entertainment every night, an amazing gorgeous beach with a really cool jungle path you have to go down to get there, excellent friendly and fast service, what more can you ask for?!?!?! The area surrounding was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. There was so much to do right in the condo's backyard. A 10 minute drive brought you to really neat sea caves or stunningly beautiful rivers and beaches. There were kayak rentals really close by too. Overall I had a really excellent time and would recommend this condo to any of my own friends or family! ”
