My, oh my, what a wonderful rental! Best view of the bay and sunset in the entire complex. Very easy to get acclimated to the resort. Lovely amenities. Very comfortable room. Parking was easy, and the staff are so quick and accommodating if you want a lift on their golf carts if you don't want to walk. Would absolutely stay here again.

The resort and the views are incredible along with the private beach was definitely a plus. The unit is more like a hotel room not an apartment as it’s advertised. That was the only negative we have about the space and we had to pay an additional 220 for parking and resort fees.

Aloha Chris, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the incredible views, the resort amenities, and the private beach, those are truly some of the most special parts of staying here. We also appreciate your note about the unit layout. The space is designed more like a spacious hotel-style studio with a kitchenette rather than a full apartment, and we try to describe it as clearly as possible so guests know what to expect. Your feedback helps us continue refining that description for future guests. Regarding the parking and resort fees, those are set by the resort and unfortunately are outside of our control, but we always try to make sure guests are aware of them prior to arrival. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re so happy you were able to enjoy the beautiful setting. We’d love to host you again for another visit to Hanalei Bay! 🌺

Comfy bed and sheets/pillows, quick response by property manager with what was a new AC blasting when I arrived and it could not be turned off. Since the view is a 10, why not have comfy furniture? Filtered water in the fridge a plus - thank you!Room very basic, but then it’s all about the fabulous view!

Mahalo for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the fabulous view, comfortable bed and pillows, and the filtered water in the fridge. While our team addressed the AC issue promptly, we were disappointed that the way the concern was raised to our staff was rude and disrespectful, which is not in keeping with the Aloha spirit we always strive to share with our guests. We hope that future island stays help provide a better sense of the kindness and respect that make Hawaii so special.

Why they chose this property

Aloha Welcome to Kauai and Hanalei Bay Resort

I was 18 years old when first traveled to Kauai. My sister and I
hiked the Na Pali Coastline trail. I fell in love with Kauai and
hoped that everyone I cared about could come here someday and
experience the love, the beauty and the magic of Kauai. Many
decades later, my husband Steve and I returned here after
raising our kids. That was December 2020. Covid Time. We
stayed in this very condo and both of us felt drawn to this island
in a way that words can’t describe. We have traveled all over the
world, 30 + countries and stayed in hundreds of different
accommodations in our travels. Of all the places we traveled in
the world, Kauai is hands down our favorite place.
Of all the Hawaiian Islands, this garden island is by far our
favorite. When we decided, we were going to buy here, we looked
all over the island and viewed many different condos. We kept
coming back to this lovely condo. This is our favorite part of the
island because of the mountains and stunning beaches. We felt
that we got the best condo in the complex with the best
unobstructed views in Hanalei Bay Resort. . Today, we are beyond
happy to share our little piece of paradise with you. Kauai might
just be the most romantic place on Earth. Everywhere you look is
beautiful! Stunning landscapes, pristine beaches, amazing waves,
beautiful flowers, and unforgettable sunsets. Kauai is steeped in
history and culture. Of course, there is no shortage of things to do
and see. We hope that you find the same magic, love and beauty
that touched our souls and lingers in the air no matter where you
are at in Kauai.
