Accommodations were excellent (stayed in 2 different units -- 1305 & 4221), each with views of Hanalei Bay. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only drawback is lack of parking for the units furthest from the front of the resort; it can be a long walk if one has to carry groceries, etc. Definitely would stay here again !

Hanalei Bay Resort is a gorgeously located resort with the most beautiful views of spectacular mountains that form the backdrop of Hanalei Bay on the island of Kauai. The pools, hot tub, tennis courts and and tropical landscape make this resort very special. The staff is very friendly with a true "aloha" spirit. A short walk of 10-15 minutes brings... More

The condos have a great view of Hanalei Bay and the little private beach shared with the St Regis, Princeville has wonderful snorkeling, sunbathing and beach combing. The resort's salt water pool is a great place to unwind if you don't want to go down to the beach. A great place off the beaten track.

The Hanalei Bay Resort's property is gorgeous. It is not crowded (at least in September), the main pool is lovely and charming, the grounds are lush, and there is a pretty (but long and steep) path down to the beach, which is small but nice with good snorkling right there. It seems like the negative reviews are centered around the... More

The trip to Hawaii was a last minute plan. Lisa was very helpful and gave us a great deal for our one week stay. Our condo was clean and well-equipped. You will find literally everything you would want during your stay from toiletries to basic food equipment. She had even provided a lot of beach stuff for us to use... More

My wife and I stayed in 5202 for 5 days around the end of Feb. 2012 and found the condo to be everything it was advertised and the photos were accurate and not touched up. Friends joined us for part of the time and stayed in the connected unit 5201 and this worked very well for 2 couples. The owner... More

We had a great time at the Hanalei Bay Resort. It's in a great location, good parking, clean rooms, nice pool, courteous staff. EXCELLENT value. If I ever go back to Kauai I'll definitely check back in. No lounge - but whatever, there is a great shopping center nearby.

I really enjoyed the Hanalei Bay Resort. It is in a perfect location. The resort pool is one of the nicest I've seen in my travels for this price range. I actually thought it was much nice than the pool at St. Regis down the street. A concern that I want to share with future visitors, is depending on where... More

I know this resort has a history of poor ownership and that seems to have changed recently The pool area is very nice and the grounds are nicely maintained but the rooms, oh the rooms, are in pretty poor condition. I understand that if you rent from an owner, you the rooms can be much nicer but ours was dark... More
