What others are saying
Great room - Excellent Value
The view was great, we enjoyed eating our lunch on the private lanai - looking out at the waves pounding the far side of the bay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the mini-kitchenette was sufficient. All in all, my wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. We'd definitely come back. I highly recommend it. It was close to the St. Regis beach, a short 5-10 minute walk - and it's much cheaper.

A Perfect Stay in Paradise
We were very pleased with condo unit 4324 at Hanalei Bay Resort. The photos and previous reviews are very accurate as to what you may expect from this unit. The view is absolutely gorgeous from the room and lanai. All the furnishings were comfortable and in great condition. We received great service from Kristen Greene and aloha Condos and highly recommend them as well. If you are looking for a studio unit at the beautiful Hanalei Bay Resort, you will be very happy that you chose this one.

Lovely little getaway.
I took my daughter and her friend for a 3 day getaway, having stayed at HBR before this little studio was just perfect for our needs. A great view, a big comfy bed, a comfy sofa bed, the amenities all just worked. nicely appointed furnishings not tacky on the tourists' eye. Thanks!

Jim, We love your condo! You have all the comforts of home which include a complete kitchen with spices and very comfortable bed. We appreciate having the washer/dryer with provided detergent. Thank you for the Welcome bag with delicious coffee and chocolates. Thank you for the golf umbrella and ponchos which we made great use of! The location is perfect!We loved walking down to the beach. We were only disappointed that due to the weather we were not able to go hiking along the Napali coast or to take the Napali Sea Breeze tour due to the choppy water. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo for the 2nd time. We will certainly look forward to our next time!!! Location. Location. Location!!!

The condo was well appointed and was exactly as it looked in the photos, but even bigger due to the vaulted ceilings.

The resort is close to Foodland for groceries and dvd rentals. There are places to eat in the are too so you dont have to drive to far. One evening we arrived at the condo to find a shopping bag loaded with goodies. It had some great candy, cookies and other neat little items. Very nice little gift. All this at a great price.

“ The room was nice and clean. Recently updated. We had some ants in the bathroom but nothing too annoying. Also, there was a gecko or lizard of some sort living inside. We saw him and once or twice. The bed was comfortable. And the view of the lanai was nice. The resort is in a nice location. It is a little hard to get in and out of. And it a 5 minute drive from Hanalei. The beach is short walk down the hill. And it was pretty decent, and fairly quiet. The pool and hot tub are very nice. Best pool that we had out of the 3 places we stayed on Kauai. We got a fall price on the room which was very nice. I still do not understand this business of an out clean fee!!! I think it is the biggest rip off on the island. What hotel do you stay at where they charge you for cleaning the room when you leave?! Isn't that supposed to be part of the rental fee?! Seems like a nice little scam to get some extra money. When I shopped for rooms in that area, almost everybody had that, so good luck getting out of it. ”

“ 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! ”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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.

It was very nice to have laundry in the condo that we could use. Parking is not so convenient since there is no parking close to the condos, only golf carts may drive by the condos.

“ We are so happy that we chose to spend our week vacation on the North shore, but particularly so that we did so at the Hanalei Bay Resort. We rented Condo 6204 from aloha Condos after doing much homework, as this was our first trip to Kauai. I was tentative at first to book someone's private condo as this was the first for us (we usually do resorts). But it exceeded our expectations in most areas. It was very professionally managed. From booking, to answering requests, all was very professional. They catered for all our requests and needs without hesitation and with a smile. The first thing that struck out to me was that even though it was a studio (hence relatively smaller than say a 1-bedroom), the owner had decorated it very tastefully. On top of this, the amenities were really top end and the attention to detail was highly thought over. (For example they had detergent for the dish washer and other small things you didn't have to run to the sundry shop to buy). This is something we appreciated very much. It was very clean, and felt roomy. The bathroom is very modern and spacious with very good lighting. The kitchenette, though small and not a full kitchen, had everything you would need for making coffee and tea, sandwiches and other smaller meals. It was stacked with the necessary kitchenware. The bed was nice, huge and very comfy and we had very nice sleep there. They have an a/c (Daikin) which helped a lot as it can get a bit warm during the day and even at night sometimes. The best bit of the condo though, was the lanai or verandah. Unlike surrounding condos (which had cheap plastic chairs), they have confortable chairs with cushions and tables...and the view of Hanalei Bay is very, very enduring. We would just sit there and soak in the peace, tranquility of the islands right there from the lanai. If our travels bring us back to Kauai in the future, we would stay here again without a doubt. It was a dream holiday. ”

The Makai Princeville golf course is one of the best I've played. Look on the internet for good price tee times. I highly recommened the Coast hike and Captain andy's snorkel/dinner cruise. By the way the TV moves in any direction if you want to watch in bed or Lanai. My wife and I had an amazing time and hope to come back some day. Kristin the owner was very nice and easy to work with.

Luckily, the weather in Hanalei was mostly cool during our stay, so we found that we didn't need to run the air conditioner---especially at night. The front door was not a solid door, so you could hear the other vacationers outside if they walked by--but this was not really a bother. However....the roosters! They loved to let you know they were in the vicinity---especially at 6:00 am! Other than the roosters, the only really negative thing is that the room did not have Internet access. The gift shop on the property had WiFi, but it just wasn't convenient for us to lug our stuff to the gift shop each time we needed to access the Internet. Overall, we had a very nice stay in the Hanalei Bay Resort condo. We would come back to stay here again. ”

There was even a drying rack in the condo for our wet suits and towels, along with lots of extra pillow! The view from the condo is far more fabulous in person. It was breathtaking to wake up and see how close Bali Hi was and to see the most beautiful rainbow soaring in the sky! The view is far more closer than it appears online. The condo location was great! Only a half a minute to the pool, restauraunt and tennis courts. The beach is stunning and just a short 5-10 minute walk down the hill. There was a call box at the bottom, close to the beach in case you wished to have a ride back up. Unfortunately during our stay the main restaurant was closed at the resort and also at the St. Regis next door. We ate one night at the lounge on the resort and were not very impressed with the food. Beautiful condo and resort to stay at with restaurant, shops, and a grocery store within a 5 minute drive. Hanalei Bay is approximately 10 minutes away and has many more shops to offer. ”

The hot tub was not working the entire week we were there. That was a dissappointment after a long day of hiking. But, the views are awesome and I just fell in love with the North part of the island. ”

Thank you for the Welcome bag with delicious coffee and chocolates. Thank you for the golf umbrella and ponchos which we made great use of! The location is perfect!We loved walking down to the beach. We were only disappointed that due to the weather we were not able to go hiking along the Napali coast or to take the Napali Sea Breeze tour due to the choppy water. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo for the 2nd time. We will certainly look forward to our next time!!! Location. Location. Location!!! ”

Spent many hours relaxing on the lanai with morning coffee or late afternoon "happy hour", looking out at the jungle and listening to the birds. Less than a 10 minute drive to a shopping plaza with full amenities. Loved this part of the island and all it has to offer. Hope to return some day! ”

Thank you for your review - I appreciate the feedback.
We've replaced the burned out halogen bulbs in the bathroom. They were a special order from the mainland and it took longer than expected to get them replaced. We now have extras in stock.
We just checked out the 2 DVD players and they both worked. We wish that you had called us during your stay so that we could have helped get it working for you and we are available 24 x 7 to help every day of the year. Just call the number that we provide in the condo and in your check-in materials.
Again, thank you for your review and staying with Aloha Condos.

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.

“ 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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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. ”

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.

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).

“ We stayed in this wonderful condo in last June. The condo was very clean, well equipped and a good location within the resort - close to the tennis courts, main pool and front desk area. 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! ”

“ I love staying with Aloha Condos. The rooms are beautiful and the views are amazing. It's like a home away from home. The first time I visited Kauai, I stayed at the Hanalei Bay Resort and paid resort prices for the rooms. I stumbled upon Aloha Condos when planning my next visit and discovered a hidden gem. The rooms are much nicer and seem more like home than the normal hotel rooms. The prices are very affordable as well. I don't even think of staying in a different place when I plan a Hawaiian vacation. I always think about Aloha Condos first. I've stayed in several of the units in Kauai and have also stayed in one of their units on the Big Island. They are all very clean, very nice, and again, a home away from home. ”

“ We spent a wonderful week at the Hanalei Bay Resort on the north shore of Kauai. The condo was more than we expected. The furnishings were beautiful and the condo was supplied with every detail a person could want. It was so nice to have two full bathrooms!!! Hanalei Bay Resort is one of the most beautiful places in Hawaii. It's a magical place and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend renting from Aloha Condos. ”

“ We found your beautiful condo after much searching on the web. Contact and arrangements were easily accomplished via email. Upon arrival, Jim had a great welcome beach bag (reusable) filled with goodies in his fully furnished, wi-fi condo. Jim had thought of everything from games to movies, pool toys to kitchenware and spices. We timeshare travel a lot and the fully stocked nature of this condo was the best we've seen by far! It was perfect for us as a couple with easy access to the rest of the island and breathtaking views of the mountains and waterfalls. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and have recommended Jim's condo to several friends since our visit. ”

“ 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! ”

“ 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! ”

“ As my wife and I were planning on backpacking the Kalalau Trail for 4 of our 9 days on Kauai, we wanted to stay on the North end of the island. We enjoy hangin' out in Hanalei and at Hanalei Bay as well. We found HBR #1525 to be a very unique value for a condo. It is a Studio setup but has a full kitchen. 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. Our only real complaint about this particular condo was the lack of drawer space for clothes. Other than that, perfect in every way. ”

“ 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 ”

“ The kitchen circuit breaker was out the first day/night until maintenance came the next day to reset (three times). After that, no problems. I believe they put an order to replace the resort's electrical circuit breaker. No refrigerator the first day/night. Ice cooler used so food was okay. 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. Recommend exterminator to rid ants and roaches. ”

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. ”

“ 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). I could go on and on. Thank you! ”
