Hanalei Bay Resort 1525-26, Princeville Kauai

Perfect

Our family of 7 stayed comfortably in this beautiful condo. The view from the lanai was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the roosters, geese, lizards, and birds. The kids enjoyed playing tennis and the walk to the beach leads through a pretty tree lined path,... more which is short. The condo itself had everything we needed. The kitchenette in the adjoining bedroom was nice for my parents. The Princeville jogging/walking path is about a five minute walk away. We loved this condo and would stay here again. less

Peaceful Stay, Ideal Location and a Fabulous Resort

We have stayed at the Hanalei Bay Resort multiple times in several different condos on the property. Our stay in condo 1525-26 was probably our favorite for many reasons... It may not have an ocean view, but when we woke on our first morning to... more a view of the mountain with SEVEN waterfalls (it had been raining all night) we felt immediately welcomed to the Garden Island. In addition to an amazing mountain view, the small forest below sounded like a rainforest full of birds who were especially vocal (but not in an annoying way) at sunrise and sunset. As opposed to the balconies of other condos we have rented, this balcony is very private. We could sit out and enjoy breakfast without being on display - no other balconies overlooking or walkways below. Additionally, the location is PERFECT! A very short walk to the pool, lobby, Happy Talk Lounge, fitness center and parking lot. This is especially important when you have someone unable to climb steep walkways in your party. Some of the lower buildings on the property have wonderful views but horrible hikes to the parking lot and pool - on several occasions we had to seriously think twice about leaving our unit when we knew we had a mild hike ahead of us! Conversely, condo 1525-26 is so conveniently located and made trips from the grocery store with multiple bags in hand a breeze. These two adjoining condos are the perfect setup for travelling with multiple parties. We visited Kauai with my mom who really enjoyed the privacy she could get each night by closing the door as my husband, children and I watched movies. The sleeper sofa in condo 1525 was actually very comfortable! And the kitchenette worked perfectly for cooking meals for the five of us - which helped tremendously with keeping our meal budget in check! It came equipped with toaster, coffee maker (and filters!), steamed rice cooker and even a blender (pinacoladas!). We also really appreciated the availability of beach chairs and boogie boards. As if that isn't enough, a stay in this condo also includes all the amenities of the Hanalei Bay Resort: beach/pool towels that can be exchanged multiple times daily, excellent wifi (premium service can be purchased and my kids said it was better than what we have at home), poolside bar with live ukulele musicians, Happy Talk Lounge with live music nightly, Savage Gift Shop filled with all kinds of wonderful treasures and a ride in a golf cart, upon request, to your car or down to the beach. Grocery shopping at Foodland in Princeville is very convenient and being located so close to Hanalei, Anini Beach and Kilauea is definitely a bonus. We would definitely stay in condo 1525-26 again and would absolutely book through Aloha Condos & Home in the future. They were very communicative, answered my emails promptly, provided very clear information and made the booking process easy to navigate. Many mahalos for our wonderful Kauai vacation! less

Beautiful location

Resort was great, the front desk staff were awesome and funny, and the pool was amazing. Unit was fully functional for us, and as described. The layout is two adjoining studio units, one with full kitchen and sofa bed, hence the other door can be... more closed as the bedroom. The view of the mountains was fantastic to wake up to. We made good use of the beach gear and really appreciated having it. less

Terrific Views

We have stayed in two units at HBR over the years - although an ocean view is lovely, the mountain and waterfall views from this unit are spectacular! Having a small kitchenette with fridge, dishwasher, oven, and sink allowed us to eat most meals at... more the unit. This unit has convenient access to the pool and resort amenities as well as the parking lot (although it shall be noted this building is directly adjacent to the maintenance yard, so be careful of golf carts zooming along the pathways!). We look forward to our next visit to HBR and definitely this unit! C+M less
