Hanalei Bay Resort
Condo 7202
1-Bedroom 1-Bath Ocean & Mountain View Condo
- Sleeps 4
Reunion in Paradise
I had reserved unit 7202 over the internet months before our arrival. I arrived to check in late one day, after dark, and didn't realize I had a completely unobstructed view of Hanalei Bay until I woke up the next morning. Beautiful! The unit was spacious, clean, well stocked, and quiet. It is well maintained and the price was very fair for what was available. The only downside was that the wifi didn't work. Overall?...great.
Great unit in a spectacular location
The location of the complex itself, and of this unit within the complex, are both excellent. Put it this way: a few of my favorite pictures from our week on Kauai were taken from the lanai of this unit! (mountain, ocean, and garden views) This unit is huge - the living/dining area has plenty of room to spread out without feeling cramped, and the bedroom is also quite large. The kitchen and bathroom are a decent size. I appreciated the "split" bathroom with the toilet/shower in its own room, so the sink/vanity/mirror could be used separately. Also, it was great to have a washer/dryer in the unit, which we used several times. The unit appears to have been recently remodeled, with very nice furnishings and appliances. The complex is great, convenient to lots of sights and activities, a nice walk (or shuttle ride) to the beach, with a beautiful main pool/spa, and wonderful lush gardens/grounds. We did not try the smaller pool, which is a shorter walk from the unit, because we just liked the size and naturalistic style (rocks, plants, waterfalls) of the main pool so much. All in all, a great stay and we'd be thrilled to stay here again.
Kauai is Paradise
We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The condo is spacious with great views The king bed is basic but comfortable. All the appliances are updated with the exception of the refrigerator. Foodland is a short drive away for the essentials This unit has air conditioning that is exceptionally quiet. The sheets and towels are all top notch. Noisy neighbors that chain smoked on their porch moved in shortly after we arrived. After several days of putting up with that nonsense we complained to the front desk and the troublesome behavior ceased. This is a non-smoking resort!! If you want to smoke you will need to hike up to the parking lot. There are fruit trees everywhere along the walking paths. If you go early you will find treats under the trees in the morning. The walk to the beach is pleasant. You can swim and snorkel there. By the way...there are feral chicken everywhere on the island...and the roosters start crowing in the middle of the night. Bring earplugs if you like to sleep with the doors and windows open at night!!! I am not kidding about this, you have been warned...
Great Stay - Highly Recommended!
This was a great unit, and one of the most relaxing weeks we've had. Easy walk (or golf cart shuttle) to the beach, and don't miss the Dolphin Restaurant and Bar-acuda in town for dinner.
Great experience
We had a fantastic time and loved this condo. The views were beautiful. The condo was clean and well maintained. The beach supplies were a great touch. The condo complex was generally very quiet and peaceful (with the exception of several days in which a temporary utility pump of some kind was installed outside our unit).
Awesome destination wedding & vacation week!
This unit was a pleasant surprise! I stayed a week in Hanalei for a friend's wedding and it was really nice to stay somewhere that felt like home. It was great to have a full kitchen where we could cook and a great size living room & balcony where we could relax when we wanted to. This unit has a beautiful view which made the balcony even more pleasurable. Hanalei Bay Resort (HBR is what the locals refer to it as) is a great location on the North Shore. The two pools are really nice. It's a short walk down to a small beach and short car ride to other great beaches and fun adventure spots. There is a grocery store five minutes away as well. It was great that they had the cart service as well- you can call for a golf cart if you are in a hurry, have a lot of stuff to carry, or are dressed up in heels and don't feel like walking up to your car :) I am happy that I went this route instead of a hotel room at the St. Regis or the Westin. The HBR staff were very accomodating and had great tips and knowledge about the area. I have friends that live on the North Shore so I already had some inside tips of places to see and restaurants to eat at! (If you want a great, basic breakfast, check out "Wake Up Cafe")!
Beautiful location and accommodations.
The resort itself was quite beautiful, clean, well kept, and the customer service was excellent. The condo unit itself exceeded my expectations. It was extremely clean, stylishly well furnished, and very spacious. Having a washer/dryer and a fully applianced kitchen made my stay much more comfortable, my home away from home.
Relaxing!
The view was spectacular!! The room was vary nice and clean. It was an end unit so it was very private. The room had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable! My only dissapointment was that the restaurant and bar to the resort was no longer in business.
Awesome
Great Condo...furniture and bed were a little uncomfortable, but not bad
View was Incredible!!!
Although our unit was older, it was clean and about what we expected from the pictures. The grounds and the view was wonderful and the staff was very helpful. Disappointed that the restaurants were closed at this location, but there were several a short drive away.
An oasis of quiet and comfort
Relaxing, great views, serene, tranquil, easy access by foot to the beach, by car to the local attractions. Hey, where's my $250 deposit?
Manager response:
“ Thank you for your positive comments. 7202 is certainly tranquil. Your $250 security deposit was an authorization only not an actual charge. We only convert it to a charge if there are damages or fines. Of course, in your situation there were none. You took great care of the unit. The authorization expires shortly after your departure, so there is no charge to refund. I hope you will stay with us again. ”
