“ My husband and I recently stayed in Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 1557-58 for our honeymoon. We loved the HBR and the location. Last time we were in Kauai, we stayed further South. We loved staying further north. It was easy to get in and out of. Our condo was beautiful! It was clean and had everything we needed. We were so excited when we discovered the beach chairs in the closet, we toted them everywhere! Perfect for the two of us! The view of the mountains and Bali Hai was beautiful! We spent a lot of time on the Lanai, it was awesome! The pool at the condo was great. The staff was friendly, we really appreciated them driving us to and from the beach. It is a long, steep walk. Overall, we loved and would consider both the HBR and 1557 & 58 again! ”

“ Hard to believe that the calm and peaceful balcony is in a busy condo complex. All of the owner's touches, from the packed welcome basket to the detailed, organized "hints" book, are offered with caring and generosity. He clearly cares about this well-maintained property and must enjoy making other people happy. ”

“ When we come to Hawaii we love to get close to nature. Jim's condo at the Hanalei Bay Resort, unit 1557-58 is perfect. The amazing birds softly wake you up in the morning and you are refreshed and ready for the day. Kristen the local contact was available when we needed to know where to get groceries (just up the street, btw) and the AlohaCondos.com website was easy to use when we booked. My wife loved the jogging around Princeville and my daughter loved the beach down in front of the resort. The full kitchen was great so that we could prepare all of our meals there and we spent a lot of time on the lanai for meals and to watch/listen to nature. Thanks Aloha Condos and Jim for a great vacation. ”

“ We ABSOLUTELY loved staying at Hanalei Bay Resort Condo. We appreciated being escorted by golf cart to our condo with all our things. As soon as I opened the entry door, I was extremely impressed. The panoramic view of the mountains and waterfalls are spectacular. The welcome basket was appreciated with water, coffee and delicious cookies made on the island. Jim the owner has thought of everything to make you feel welcome. The kitchen worked out great for several meals particularly loved eating our meals on the lanai. The bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the roosters, chickens and array of birds that sang sweet melodies. We loved the proximity to be able to go hiking at the Napali coast line and the Queens Bath. We loved Anini beach and then coming "home" to the pool and jacuzzi! Thanks for the beach chairs. Thank you for the best vacation of our lives. Mahalo, Nancy and Paul Hoffmann ”

“ Our condo was perfect! It was clean and spacious. The service, with the exception of having no restaurant, was excellent. Uncle Mikey was most helpful with a great sense of humor. Previous to our trip Jim was most helpful in answering questions since we had never been to Hawaii before. The resort was very nice; we were not disappointed, although again we would have liked a restaurant. If I travel to Kauai again I may stay somewhere with more of a central location unless I plan not to drive as much as we did in this trip. We thoroughly enjoyed all the tours and hikes we went on and various beaches we visited. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. ”

“ WE had an A+ vacation time @ this condo in Hanalei. Jim the owner really goes out of his way on welcoming us w/ a basket of goodies. (coffee,chocolate,etc). It was a very nice touch. There were also plenty of spices in the kitchen,papertowels which we would normally buy if staying in the condo. The kitchen is well equipped.The condo has modern, nice furnishing w/ gigantic fans in the living room & bedroom,flat screened tv & beautiful lanai (balcony) facing the mountain view. This condo has the best view, as it's facing the mountains, it was quiet & very private. The night before, it rained heavily & when we got up the next morning, we had the pleasure of viewing 21 waterfalls, Thanks to the binoculars that Jim had. ( Boy, he thinks of everything.) The service at the resort was great. We enjoyed our dinners & entertainment @ the restaurant. The resort is close to Hanalei town where all the nice restaurants are & ofcourse the Hanalei Bay. As a timeshare owner, we have seen a lot of places everywere in the world & we like everything about this place. We already booked to come back in May 2010 for 2 weeks. ”

Absolutely Gorgeous Views and Well Thought Out Condo

fantomesq from Orange County, California on 11/26/2009 said:

“ The views from this condo are superb! It was like having our own private mountain vista with gorgeous greenery, majestic mountains and stunning waterfalls after the rains... and a few chickens. ;) Jim has done a superb job in anticipating our needs with tons of little extras. The gift basket was a VERY welcome touch and helped while we oriented ourselves. Little things like dishwasher and laundry detergent, beach chairs, towels & mats, lots of linens, games and video library, and a very useful little library helped. The information folder/binder was immensely helpful and something we'd not seen before. The bedroom setup was excellent. We could sit in bed and watch the flatscreen TV or just enjoy the view. Beautiful lanai that we didn't use nearly enough! In-room laundry and a second bathroom came in very handy. Beautiful well thought out decor with just enough kitch to bring charm and that "lived in/loved" feeling while being remarkably clean and uncluttered. We had almost no daytime rain until the next to last day when a tropical storm hit the North Shore dropping 17 inches of rain in Hanalei in 24 hours. Thank God we were on the Princeville side of the Hanalei bridge which got washed out. All of this in the middle of a beautiful resort with tons of amenities and a incredible private beach walk at remarkable value for the money. It was an incredible way to start to our honeymoon. We'll definitely be staying here again. ”

“ Service from the owner, Jim, was prompt and friendly. The condo is large, clean and very comfortable with everything you need. Plenty of space for a family of 3. Beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards and towels are all provided with the unit as well as a fully stocked kitchen. This unit has a mountain view which is very tranquil and amazing. The Hanalei Bay Resort is great for relaxing and offers plenty of options from the huge lagoon style pool, beach, tennis courts and golf. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. HBR is a little tricky to find if you are arriving at night. The North Shore of Kauai is lush and beautiful and being 5 minutes from the town of Hanalei is great plus there are plenty of beaches nearby to explore. The Princeville shopping center is right up the road from HBR, so groceries, gas and anything else you may need is close by. I look forward to returning. ”

“ We had a wonderful vacation in Kauai, staying at this perfect condo in Hanalei Bay Resort. We arrived after dark and when we woke in the morning the view was breathtaking! The view, the privacy, the accommodations were just what we wanted. The condo has everything, with the most comfy beds ever. The location couldn't be better, close to all the wonderful beaches on the north shore and the hike of the Napali Coast. We discovered Hideaways Beach, which turned out to be our favorite. There were lots of fun restaurants nearby, but our favorite was one night at the Happy Talk Lounge. Great food, drinks and a band we could have listened to for hours. We will definitely be back and will plan to stay here again. Thanks to Jim for allowing us to stay in this great place! ”

sunsoko from Novato, CA on 09/16/2009 said:

“ Hello, I booked this condo just based on what other people have to say and my family loved this place. This unit is in great location. Spectacular view of the mountains and waterfalls. You can't see your neighbor just the way the units are set up. We felt like being home in this condo. Everything you need in term for the kitchen and the beach this unit has. The only downside I have about the resort is the location of the BBQ grills. It's very far from this unit. The grills are very old and did not cooked well. ”

“ Luxurious condo with cathedral ceilings, high-quality appliances, entertainment system, A/C, furnishings, well-maintained, with a peaceful paradise feeling, with a huge view of the mountains and forest canopy. Impressive interior designing. Bright stars from the lanai at night!!! The only complaint is the resident rooster(s) who makes announcements throughout the day amid the other tropical birds which can be irritating to one who is trying to rest or want to focus on the other birds who sign rather than cockle doole doo. Other than that, this is the best alternative to an oceanfront condo. ”

“ There is not a more beautiful place on the planet!! And the condo was perfect. When my wife and I first arrived we were immediately impressed with how generously accommodating the condo was--fully furnished and equipped and beautifully decorated. We felt welcome and at home. It was as if our best friends had made their own place available to us. One thought we had was, "It's too bad we didn't bring the kids." The next morning, however, as we lay in bed and gazed through the wall of windows at the stunningly beautiful view we were so glad to just relax and not have restless kids saying, "So what are we going to do?" It was tempting to go nowhere on the island other than the condo. Just a short walk to the beach, tennis courts, pools, restaurant, close to a grocery store, and just a short drive to spectacular sites. This is a perfect place for a peaceful getaway for a couple, an individual, or even a family. ”

The owner Jim has put together a simple and cozy place, with thoughtful touches everywhere to make clients feel welcome and comfortable. A helpful guide book, beach amenities, assorted board games, fully equipped kitchen, excellent linens, the list goes on and on. The condo itself is well situated on the resort, not far from the reception area or pool, and has a breathtaking view of the mountains and rainforest. Great terrace from which to admire the view during morning coffee and evening cocktail. It's quiet and well insulated from outside noise...apart from the ubiquitous kauai rooster, that is. Great location, easy to get anywhere on the North Coast. Mahalo to Jim for sharing his wonderful place in paradise. ”

Donna Rice from Hanalei Bay Resort on 06/30/2009 said:

“ When we arrived at the Hanalei Bay Resort, we knew exactly where to go so proceeded to our condo. As we live on the south shore of Kauai, we came up weeks prior to our visit to do a preview. The double end unit was quiet and private, which worked out perfectly for us, since we had massages scheduled on the outside lanais. This condo worked out great for the three of us; my husband and I took the master and our niece slept on the murphy bed. We each had our own full bath which was so convenient. The one issue we did have, was the master bath fixture in the shower. It was very difficult to use and get the temperature right, without a lot of fiddling around. The kitchen was very well equipped and had all the cooking utensils we needed. It even had a spice rack, but we were a bit disappointed not to have any salt or pepper. The other complaint we had about the kitchen was the overhead light. It was so hot that we could not use it while we were in the kitchen. Perhaps replacing the bulb with a CFL would solve that problem. Overall, we loved the unit and would stay there again if the opportunity should arise. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your comments.

The bath fixtures in both showers have been replaced with new fixtures and shower heads. I've also re-caulked the tub in the master bedroom side.

There is now salt & pepper in the condo as well.

This is the first time that I've had a complaint about the light in the kitchen - it's a 100 watt halogen. We've recently replaced a dimmer switch with a regular switch because the switch was in the way of the refrigerator door. I didn't find it hot while living there six months but if I continue to get complaints I'll put in a dimmer switch again.

The kitchen now has a new very high-end (according to my plumber!) faucet as well.

“ I was disappointed in I was not told ahead of time of renting that the bar and grill and the resturant were not available for service indefinitely. It may it very inconvenient for us. Also it seemed to me the place in general was not kept up the same as I remember it being the last 3 times I have been at the resort. Sally Gordon ”

Manager response:

“ The indefinite closure of the restaurant and lounge at the Hanalei Bay Resort has been clearly stated on the Aloha Condos Website resort and condo pages since December 2008.

This guest booked in February 2009 and I am sorry that she didn't know about the closure.

The remainder of the resort continues to be maintained and this is the first comment that I've heard to the contrary. When I lived in my condo from July 2008 - February 2009, the level of resort maintenance was the same as I had seen since I bought my condo in 2000.

“ This unit has a spacious feel inside because of the lay-out. I felt that the unit was a great value for the price when I compared it to other similar units. This place was actually even more reasonable than most units in Ocean City, Maryland near our home (way over priced any more). The view out the deck is quiet with a great garden and mountain view that adds to the private feel of this unit. The Hanalei Bay resort location is an excellent amenity. The only slight drawback was that we wished it was a little closer walk to the beach, but you can't have it all at this reasonable of a price (it is about a 10 minute walk down the step paved path to the beach). Overall, an excellent value for the price and amenities. ”

It had a well stocked kitchen, and we cooked several nights. The owner thoughtfully provided many videos for the two TVs, beach equipment to use, and had written very thorough island guides for his guests. As we were traveling with our two teenage children, we really enjoyed having two rooms and two baths. The Hanalei Bay Resort was beautiful and very well maintained. We enjoyed the beach, tennis courts, and pool. We also enjoyed the view of waterfalls from our two balconies. This part of the island was not as crowded as the southern end, which was nice. We would definitely recommend Hanalei Bay Resort and this particular condo again, and look forward to coming again ourselves! ”

“ The condo was very clean, well-furnished, and convenient as it was just steps away from the Bali Hai Restaurant that sports spectacular views. The view from the room faces the mountains which were replete with distant waterfalls. The owner Jim was very courteous and professional. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider returning. ”
