Very clean and updated condo. Great views of Hanalei Bay. Really classic Hawaiian resort.

Incredible view of Hanalei Bay from large balcony. Nothing beat waking up with some coffee to that view. Unit was spacious, well stocked and representative of online listing.
Pool was nicely kept and in a fun setting. Bar/restaurant on site was convenient as well.
Building is located decently far from parking lot. Resort offers golf cart rides to help with bags, but they were a little unreliable with responding for ride requests.
Beach is shared with The One Hotel. Also beautiful, but a hike from the unit/building.
In general, would hands down go back for the view and setting. It's breath taking!

The view from the unit was absolutely gorgeous and the unit itself was clean. The property manager communication was detailed and made the visit very easy. Comfortable beds, stocked kitchen, spacious place. A few suggestions. The pools are very cold. Hard to even swim in them. We only used them once...something needs to be done as we stayed at this resort last year and it was the same situation. Also, while it's nice to provide beach chairs and a cooler they're extremely outdated. Rust, Tearing in the chairs, etc. Other units provide new chairs from Costco...definitely recommend doing so. Also, very low amount of towels provided in the unit. We were washing our towels regularly to keep up...no reason you can't put more than six towels in the unit. Finally (and not related to the unit) but Happy Talk Lounge (resort restaurant) has bad hours as they're not open for lunch, not friendly, no pool bar service, etc. Definitely think the association should work a better relationship with the restaurants. All of these wouldn't deter us booking this unit again (we gave a 5 rating) but they seem like easy fixes that should be communicated. Thanks again for a great stay.

Overall the place was nice. A little pricey, but to be expected since it's Hawaii. I think the owners could of been a little better at leaving extra paper towels and toilet paper. It seemed to me they were a little cheap on that part, especially for the price we paid to stay there it should of have been stocked up better on things. 2 rolls of TP and 1 roll of paper towels doesn't cut it when you're there for 7 days and have 6 people. Other then that it was great.

We rented more than one condo to accommodate our family. Everyone enjoyed their respective condos at HBR and all the amenities. Everything was neat and clean and all the beach equipment was appreciated.

This was a great unit. We really enjoyed our stay. It was very well
Stocked which I appreciated. The appliances were new and everything worked well. Need new bedding though, sheets seemed too big and loose. Great views, love the Hanalei Bay Area!

First of all, HBR is absolutely beautiful and Princeville is a dream. The condo is fully stocked, modern and clean and ready to enjoy. The views are to die for. Be aware it’s on the 3rd floor with no elevator. It’s also a bit far down from where you park but it’s no problem with the golf cart shuttle. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back.

This is exactly as advertised. There is a bit of a hill and a walk down to the property but I would have hiked miles to get that balcony view. The kitchen has everything you could need and think of. I didn’t want to ever leave but my wife is adamant about following the lease contract and obeying the law, so we did leave.

We have stayed at Princeville Resort over the years. HBR was a pleasant surprise except the bar and restaurant are closed.

We enjoyed cooking and enjoying beautiful sunsets from the deck. The air condition worked fabulously. The pools were very fun and the walk to the beach was pleasant. There was even good surf out front with a few places to rent boards! A wonderful, relaxing stay.

Our family has stayed at a lot of rentals over the years, and this was our favorite! The view was just AMAZING, the kitchen was extremely well supplied and clean, the beds were wonderfully comfortable, and the resort was lovely. We very much appreciated the beach supplies (boogie boards, snorkels, sand toys, etc) and our kids absolutely loved the resort pools and hot tub. Having the washer and dryer was a huge plus also. We hope to be back again very soon!!

We absolutely LOVED Condo 7307 at Hanalei Bay Resort! When we first arrived, we checke din with the front desk and they called a man to help us bring our suitcases to our room via a golf cart. Tipping is expected. That was the one and only time we used the golf cart service though. The walk to 7307 is not that far from the parking lot, though it is down a hill.
The views from 7307 are OUT OF THIS WORLD and I am so very thankful we chose to stay on the north shore, especially at HBR. This particular condo looks out over the bali hai mountains and has a gorgeous sunset view. The balcony also overlooks the small pool at the resort which is also where the grills/cooking area is. We grilled out there one night and our kids swam in the smaller pool. There is even a kitchen sink under the community grilling area. If you want to go to the larger pool, it's just a short walk away too. Multiple tennis courts here at this resort, though we never used them. At sunset, many of the people staying here will bring their chairs out to the grassy area near the larger pool and watch the sunset together. So lovely!
The inside of this condo is gorgeous. Everything has been updated and is beautiful. It was so nice to have our own washer and dryer and dishwasher and of course air conditioning! Our kids slept in the loft area and the a/c worked perfectly up there. They loved each having a "big" bed to sleep in. The only minor change I would suggest to the owners is to consider a new type of faucet in the bathroom. The water pressure is very low so it comes out like a trickle and it doesn't extend far enough into the sink and as a result, water gets all over the counter.
The beach nearest to HBR is called Puu Poa and it's very calm and sandy. It's shared with the St. Regis hotel. The walk to get to this beach is very steep so you should wear comfortable shoes to get there and back (or I think there may also be a golf cart service the resort provides to get to/from the beach, though we never used that).
We also walked from this condo to Hideaway Beach (our absolute favorite beach we visited on the island). It took about 20-30 minutes to walk there but the parking is so limited at Hideaway and we really wanted to go, so we kept our beach items we had to carry to a minimum and I'm so glad we went. So picturesque here but it's an intensely steep hike down to the beach and I wouldn't recommend unless you have on proper footwear and have no medical issues/small children. Totally worth a visit though!!
Princeville is a really lovely area- very "yuppie." There is a golf course here and running trails. Just beautiful driving around the grounds near HBR. We loved driving into Hanalei Town for dinner (Hanalei Bay Pizza and Federico's were our favs). We also liked wandering around the Princeville Shopping Center and got ice cream here and shopped at the grocery store. This is just a few minutes drive from the condo.
Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Hanalei Bay Resort and especially this particular condo. What an absolutely gorgeous place to stay! Thank you so much to the owners for sharing their place with us!

This well-furnished and modern condo has jaw dropping views of Hanalei Bay. It’s a very well-equipped condo for a family with 3 children. There were clean linens and sheets, fantastic kitchen supplies and water-sports equipments etc. It felt like home. Will definitely stay in this unit again the next time we go to Kauai.
Thanks Aloha Condos for the impeccable response and made our wonderful vacation a dream come through.

My husband and I stayed in Condo 7307 in early December 2017 and absolutely loved it. The view from the master bedroom and the living room is incredible. What a fantastic way to wake up! The furnishings were new and comfortable. We loved the grounds, the pool with the swim up bar, and the short path down to the beach. The front desk staff when we checked in were incredibly pleasant, professional, and helpful getting us set up to lounge by the pool since we arrived a little bit early before the condo was ready. We highly recommend this particular condo.

Let me start by telling you the type of travelers that we are. We have had plenty of stays in 5 star luxury properties so we have been spoiled a bit. BUT we don't always want to spend that type of money, especially not with two teenage boys, so we often use Marriotts or Hiltons. Before this stay we spent a week at the Marriott Waiohai resport in Poipu. Just telling you this for point of reference.
This condo at the Hanalei Bay Resort was super clean, great size, and had every amenity, utensil, and beach supply you could possibly need. Felt like we were home! My husband is the cook in the family and he was surprised by all the kitchen amenities. Loft was great for kids (only one bathroom though for 4 people). Bathroom and shower were new and clean. Renovation of the condo was beautiful! View from balcony was dreamy. Ate all our dinners outside.
The resort pool is amazing and the beach is lovely! There is a short drive to the beach (via resort golf cart) but its actually a neat little ride through the jungle!
This unit is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. The bellman will bring up your luggage but you will need to bring a positive attitude and be ready to burn a few extra calories. If stairs are a deal breaker for you, then you will need to find something on the first floor
Thank you to Mandy for getting us in a little early (not promised, just so happened to work out). Property management (Kristen) was great, prompt responses and helpful.
So for picky (but not snobby) vacationers, we had a great time! We will absolutely come back to this unit.
Thank you!

This condo was absolutely gorgeous! We fell in love the moment we walked in the door! The entire house is updated and very comfortable, even the beds and pillows! Waking up to the view of the ocean and listening to the waves crash made us never want to leave!
In the closet we found so many essentials that we were grateful to use- sand toys, beach chairs, tennis rackets and balls, rolling cooler, kids life vests, flippers and snorkel mask, and boogie boards! The open kitchen had essentials too, such as oil, seasonings, a little coffee...etc. It was also supplied with laundry detergent! The owners left a gift bag filled with many goodies that were put to great use!
The AC was not working in the loft but the part had already been ordered. It would have been nice to know ahead of time, but our son didn't seem to mind having just the fan on him.
Our friends were in another condo that was no where near as spectacular as ours. We were glad to have spent the extra $50/night on this place.
The resort is very spread out and beautiful! Make sure to get help with your luggage since the condo is on the 3rd floor! It's quite the walk to/from the parking lot and pool up and down hills! I brought my running gear but never needed a run with all the walking we did! The beach is down a long long hill, but the view is worth it!
We will definitely visit this resort again and hope to be able to rent this same condo!

I have to tell you the front desk staff at Hanalei Bay resort were very rude and not helpful,everytime we had an issue I would call them on my cell phone as no phone in the room they would say since we rented a unit from a private owner they could not help us. One time they did send a nice gentleman to our unit to help figure out the cd player. The woman who checked us in was very cold and rude I wish I coukld remember her name as she was not nice. I would not suggested this resort to others because of the front desk staff. The rersort itself and surrounds were nice.

We enjoyed our stay at Hanalei Bay Resort. The staff was wonderful and the grounds beautiful. Our unit was in dire need of updating !!! The furniture, carpet, paint job etc. very drab and rather depressing. We had friends staying in another unit at the complex and their unit was much nicer ( same price) because it was clean and decorated. Recommend telling the owners they really need to bite the bullet and put some money into their rental property!!

The view from this unit is spectacular. We loved the relaxed old-school feel of Hanalei Bay Resort and couldn't stop staring at the amazing view from this condo. The living room was surprisingly large, and the bedroom was also quite roomy. We appreciated the nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs and sun umbrella for our hours at the beach. (There were tennis rackets and a boogie board in the closet also.)
The only down-side of this condo is that the living room furnishings are very outdated and quite worn, but we didn't spend much time sitting around the living room.... there was too much else to see and do! The kitchen was great and we loved eating our meals out on the deck.
Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay with an unbeatable view.

My mom and I stayed in unit 7307-8 during the middle of June 2012 and had THE MOST amazing experience! This condo was absolutely incredible - and it was priced extremely reasonable! The views were to die for - panoramic ocean views!!, the condo was extremely clean and bright, and it was clear that the owners added extra touches to make their guests feel at home. We found extra snorkeling gear, tennis rackets, a book of beach recommendations, and a book of restaurant recommendations and menus. This condo has it all and is worth every penny. We will DEFINITELY be back!
