Great location&views. Daily resort&parking fees came as a surprise.

Overall, the room was about the same quality as you'd find at a Hampton Inn on the mainland. A little dated, but fine for a couple staying for less than a week. There is a mini-fridge, blender, coffee maker and some cutlery and plates. Doing dishes in the bathroom sink wasn't ideal, but we made it work. The room was not that clean at check-in as there was still a lot of standing dust on surfaces. Also, the television turned on but nothing would broadcast on it either via cable TV or my own device. The view from the lanai was great and this part of the property was very quiet. The unit is at the bottom of a large hill but HBR provides free golf cart service you can call or text 24 hrs a day. Be sure to tip! We also liked the pool area and the small beach at the bottom of the hill. We liked HBR a lot and would visit the property again, but perhaps stay at a unit with more amenities like a full kitchenette.

We had an amazing stay and enjoyed every second of our visit to Kauai. This condo is perfect and has everything you need for cooking, swimming, enjoying the view and going to the beach. Belinda was great to work with and about 2 days in I realized most of the artwork hanging on the walls is hers. It’s beautiful! I cannot recommend this place enough and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Another thing to note: I was traveling with my 80 year old parents and this place is ground floor with no steps. That was a huge perk for us. It’s also steps away to the beach path and made catching the shuttle easy.

This condo was perfect. The view with the sunrise in the morning and sunset in afternoon.

Check in was smooth and the room was just as shown on site. The bed was extremely comfy and the A/C worked well on the hot days. The parking was an issue. The site says 'parking close by' and it was difficult in the afternoon and impossible after dinner hours. We had to have the valet double park our car on the opposite side of the resort. Other than that, the accommodations were great.

This had everything we needed and the view was spectacular!! The room was perfect and had a kitchenette (which was nice but we only used the refrigerator), the bathroom was spacious but we really appreciated the washer and dryer! Hat a bonus to be able to do laundry in the room. If we come back we would love to stay again in this very room. Superb host!

This property was incredible. The location was great, the view cannot be beat, and the property was perfectly stocked and impeccably clean. Our guests' ages ranged from 6 to 65, and everyone was thrilled. There were beach chairs, sand toys, beach umbrella, paddle boards, pickleball and tennis equipment, a cooler, a kitchen with everything you need to make great meals at home, games and books, and a washer and dryer so we went home with clean clothes. The resort property had a lovely pool and hot tub, two restaurants and a coffee shop, and pickleball and tennis courts. The beach was lovely, with plenty of trees for natural shade. We can't say enough good things about this property and we would absolutely come here again.

Property was not very clean. Maintenance showed up after check in to re-set the toilet and they left a bit of a mess. The rest of the unit wasn’t very clean our kids found a pepperoni on the outside furniture. There was no additional toilet paper rolls which we would have grabbed from the store had we known they wouldn’t be provided. The front desk informed us since this is a privately owned unit they could provide a roll for a charge. Parking was a nightmare. If you left in the evening you couldn’t get a parking spot upon your return. I wish the unit was more clear in setting expectations. Our deposit was never retuned despite leaving a spotless unit

We knew Hanalei Bay Resort was a solid choice, but Laurie and Steve’s place far exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The staff at HBR are exceptional, so friendly and accommodating. The hardest part is not wanting to leave the resort but knowing the rest of the island is as beautiful. Such an amazing home base, we can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed all of the sunsets from the condo's balcony. The location of the condo was wonderful. Easy drive to everything! We did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen to have what we needed. The complex itself is golf carts only. When you arrive, the front desk will make arrangements for a golf cart to meet you in the parking lot. This was huge for us because we had suitcases and Costco! They drove us to our room and took everything inside for us! The golf cards are always available for you during the day. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

Excellent all around...Great views from the rental unit and an easy walk to the beach. Option to call from various places the resort's golf carts to ease walking to and from your destination (particularly useful from the beach). On site pizza restaurant is good - additionally bar/restaurant on site very nice with nightly entertainment and great views. Swimming pools are convenient, clean and fun. Grills are nearby and easy to use.The unit itself is very nice - kitchen has everything you need - nicely furnished and quiet. We would definitely go again...

The 3 bedroom condo was spectacular! On the ground floor made it so much fun with the granddaughters. The owners of this unit did a marvelous job. Great decor.However - The Hanalei Bay Resort is NOT a ‘Resort’. The pool is not a resort pool. There is no bar, it was closed a few years ago.The swim up bar is closed. There is no drink service. They don’t serve food until 3pm because a separate company owns the restaurant. The pool is worn out and old.Valet car service is posted but not available. There is not nearly enough parking available.And what’s with paying top dollar for the condo (it was worth it) but then the Resort nickel and dimes you for a 50 check in fee. Tacky!!! Plus 25/day for parking and can’t find parking spots.It should be banned from calling this a Resort!

The location and access to two of the most iconic beaches from this resort was fantastic. The view from the balcony of the whole of Hanalei Bay and mountain range was spectacular. The resort itself has a beautiful pool and huge hot tub/springs with waterfall which our condo was yards from. We were also near the lobby which gave us access to a small snack/coffee shop for breakfast. This location is also just 5-minute drive to Foodland where you can access fresh Poke/Ahi/Salmon daily at Costco prices. The only thing we were missing was a microwave to reheat food. Will definitely be back.

We loved the resort and location of the unit. The view was spectacular and changed throughout the day. Many rainbows! We also enjoyed the wonderful amenities of the resort, including the beach, the view point/fire pit, pool, hot tub, and restaurants (which also have incredible views). It was a peaceful and relaxing place.

Great unit at this particular property. Spectacular view and fully equipped with everything. A good amount of walking is required to parking lot and beach. Did not see or utilize the golf carts. This will be the condo we come back to in Princeville. Can't wait!

Great location at the resort. Overlooking the wonderful pool and Hanalei Bay. Everything you need in the unit...stove, sink, good size minifridge, drip coffee maker, toaster, plates, utensils, etc., plus a/c and a washer and dryer in the unit. Communication with the owner was a breeze...very responsive. Enjoyed our time and looking forward to returning.

All I need to say is the view of Hanalei bay is the most spectacular view you will ever have! Beautiful sunsets at night with a very comfortable bed. This condo is small but perfect for couples. The resort has an amazing pool but no swim up bar. And a beach that they will help get you and all beach gear there with a ride on a cart. There are daily resort/parking fees but didn’t care due to how beautiful it was! When we go to Kauai again we will definitely stay in this condo!

Host and manager were so accommodating and kind. The manager even brought us a top notch blender when the existing one failed. The location and sunset views were amazing - just staring at the scenery is enough to fill the senses. This property was no less than perfect for my two sons and their children along with their Oma and Opa. The property is as well maintained as it was when we began coming here 40 years ago. Thanks Belinda and Chris.

The entire experience was fantastic. The pictures don’t do justice to the actual view, it’s stunning. Incredible to wake up and step out on the porch to see the mountains and oceans. The place was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The resort was excellent as well. Easy to get to and a bunch of activities all around. Can’t recommend this place enough for future guests.

Waking up to a rainbow over Hanalei Bay was just the beginning of our beautiful 2-week stay at Dave's Hanalei Bay Resort condo. The view is outstanding; we ate almost every meal on the lanai, and no restaurant's views are better. We cooked most meals on the grills near the pool, which are cleaned daily. Indoors, there is a surprising amount of space and storage, comfortable bed, adequate kitchenette, and huge bathroom. The closeness to the parking lot is perfect. The evening restaurant-parking competition is tricky, but the valets are helpful with moving restaurant customers’ vehicles to let resort guests park. The sound of the rain on the roof at night was delightful. We would definitely stay here again.

we were very surprised to learn upon checkin that your car must be parked in a parking area and not near the condo at all. This was very hard for us because not used to walking up and down several steep hills. I wish that this was told before we booked this. The room was small but we expected that. The cleaning and toilet , bathroom fan need work.

I had a wonderful experience there at Hanalei Bay. The views were spectacular. The pool was delightful- and the unit was very comfortable. Management was very responsive. The only frustrating thing was parking as we had a large van and it was very difficult as the stalls were for more compact cars, and not enough parking all around. We totally would book again- definitely a repeat vacation!!

We enjoyed our stay.Loved being able to walk down to the beach and if we did not want to walk all the way back, you could call for a ride. The pool was fun. The coffee shop had some essentials. The restaurant was just starting to re-open with pizzas and some apps … the pizza was delicious. Restaurant and bar does not open until 3:00. We would stay here again!
