Hanalei Bay Resort 1558, Princeville Kauai

Beautiful Stay

The photos cannot capture how perfect this condo, and the property are - we would highly recommend anyone to stay here! We stayed here for 7 nights, and had plenty to do in the surrounding area. Perfect weather allowed us to stay in the area... more and use the beaches nearby for snorkeling and swimming. The condo had absolutely everything we needed for our stay, and enabled us to spend as much time as possible in the area. The Murphy bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the A/C and fans made for a very comfortable sleep. The bathroom was large and clean, with onsite laundry which was helpful. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and the concierge was very helpful in suggesting surrounding activities. Thanks again for the stay! Cannot wait to return :) less

Can't wait to come back!!!

The room was updated and clean. It had everything we needed. Our views from the balcony were gorgeous. The resort itself was beautiful and worth every penny of the resort fee. The resort even offers a complimentary ride to and from the beach if needed.... more The beach was excellent for snorkeling and had amazing views. I thought Hanalei was the perfect spot in Kauai to get away from the more commercial areas to relax. Also, even with a resort fee added to the room price, I still felt like I was getting a great deal!!! I would definitely book this room again!!! less

Amazing experience

My wife and I had a wonderful time in the condo. It was comfortable and it was very easy to communicate with the host. The rooms view is beautiful and the resorts very comfortable. It was the best of Kauai We would love to be... more back! Keep us posted about your availability and offers less

Beautiful place

We stayed in this condo for 5 days at the beginning of our trip and it ended up being my favorite place that we stayed on the whole island. The condo is beautifully done and has a phenomenal view. It was very quiet, yet had... more close access to the parking lot, pool and restaurant. The condo was well equipped with most things that we needed, which was very helpful. There are a few reasons that I did not give this condo five stars. Those are 1) we were not provided any salt and pepper to cook with (but other spices were provided), so we ended up purchasing our own 2) we were only provided one roll of toilet paper for our five day stay 3) condo is pretty much the furthest from the beach and the beach path is long and semi steep (there was a shuttle you could call, but when we did, it never came). Overall this condo was fantastic. I would love to come back for a visit! less

Nice condo, $$ after fees

Good view of the mountains (waterfalls if you look close) and jungle off the back porch. Great pool / hot tub. Princeville is total yuppie cookie cutter-vil, but, it is comfortable and easy! Hideaways beach is one of the best sunsets on the island and... more only a 15min walk away if you like steep paths. Decent snorkeling at Hideaways (better than the hotel beach down the hill). The North Shore is one of the prettiest parts of the island and we like staying up there, lots of beautiful beaches that require 15 min often steep hikes to access, and only ~ 1h from Poipu / the southern beaches and 2h from the west side / Polihale (another not to miss sunset - great camping). So any day it is rainy up north, you can hop in the car and hit sunny places down south. Be aware that there are a LOT of fees associated with resorts / rentals in HI. Everyone charges a cleaning fee (obviously a room needs to be cleaned after it is stayed in - separating the fee is good marketing, makes the price appear artificially low. They could charge $1 per night, then charge for cleaning, linens, trash, electricity, pool, key, wifi, front desk, etc). Advertised price probably 70% actual cost. less

Wonderful place!

This condo is clean and has a great location on the resort property. Quite and private! Close to stores. Make sure you bring your towels back with you from the beach and return to the desk when checking out. If you plan a Queensbath visit... more it is easier to leave your car and just walk there. Long walk, but no parking at Queensbath. I would definitely return to this condo! less

Hanalei Bay Resort condo 1558

We had a lovely time at the Hanalei Bay Resort. The condo was nicely furnished and the gift bag on arrival was appreciated. Loved the balcony with the view of the mountains and waterfalls. My only suggestion would be too fix the shower so the... more water could be adjusted to a warmer temperature and a small skillet would be useful. I guess the pool doesn't have a heater and prior to our visit they had cooler temps so the pool was too cold. The jacuzzi is very nice. Mahalo less

Great accommodations for a couple

This was a perfectly compact studio for a couple at a very reasonable price. The management was very responsive and provided very clear instructions from booking to the check in process. Don't be put off by the Murphy bed - it was comfortable and easy... more to pull down. It was nice to have a kitchen and washer/dryer (very helpful during the rainy season as the north of Kauai gets very muddy!). The only slight drawback was the lack of warm shower water which my guess is a function of the resort plumbing and not the specific unit. We enjoyed the resort and its amenities and felt the resort was nicely maintained without being cookie cutter. Be aware that the $20 resort fee which gives you access to resort amenities such as wifi, the fitness room, hot tub and pool, is separate than the stated price of the room on VRBO and is collected upon check-out. Our only negative experience with resort service was with the concierge who booked us a yoga class on the property but failed to inform us that the yoga instructor could not make it. A note on dining: the resort restaurant opens at 3pm so your breakfast options are nearby hotel restaurants (St Regis and Westin), buying groceries or grabbing food in the Princeville shopping center (<10 min drive) or Hanalei (<15 min drive). The restaurant is perfect for happy hour appetizers and drinks. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in Hanalei Bay and hope to return again in the future. less

Review for Condo 1558

We absolutely LOVED this condo. I cannot say enough good things about it and our stay. Things we enjoyed: -The wonderful lanai -That it was located near the pool -The well stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze -Dishwasher -Very clean and comfortable -The shower -The... more wonderful jungle view -The beach and snorkeling -The resort as a whole blew us away! It was BEAUTIFUL! Things that were not our favorite: -The bed While the bed was fairly comfortable at first, the mattress bowed inward which made us both sink into the center of the bed and into each other. My only suggestion at all about the condo would be to get a foam mattress or mattress topper to help with this issue. Foam, even a 1/2 inch topper would help. I know the clearance with the fold up bed doesn't offer a lot of extra space to work with, but I think this would easily solve the issue. While at first it didn't bother us, after 7 nights my back hurt terribly. I'm in my 30's and I thought about trying to sleep on the couch the last night of our stay. With one person in the bed it's not too big of a problem because they would be nestled in the middle of the mattress but for two people...it was uncomfortable. This is my only critical feedback and the only thing that would make us hesitate about staying here for that long again. We are already planning a return visit to the resort because we enjoyed everything else so much. This small upgrade would have us signed up, in this unit, in a heartbeat to stay here again, possibly even twice a year. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and taking the time to read my feedback. We can't wait to return! Amanda Krafft less

Dissapointed

After staying in a condo in Kapa'a for our first week, and being blown away by the cleanliness, organization, and upkeep, we were sadly disappointed in your condo. I dropped an ice cube on the floor, wiped up the water with a paper towel, and... more it was horribly dirty. We laid down on the bed, only to look up at cobwebs everywhere on the ceiling, lights fixtures, etc. I can guarantee that your dryer vent is not connected, due to all the lint, and the hot air you feel blowing up from behind the unit when you turn it on. The cabinet contents are tired, mismatched, and thrown in willy-nilly. I have pictures of cobwebs, etc., if you'd like to see them. less

Cozy quiet condo with nice jungle view

We like this condo. The price is good for what you get and its always very clean. The jungle view is pretty and seems a bit more private. Our only complaints would be the very firm mattress and lack of snorkeling gear.

— amanda, Stayed 11/16/2017

wonderful stay

The room was super, clean and in order. The view was just what we wanted and the size of the studio was great. I would love to stay there again!

— Suzan Haeni, Stayed 03/09/2017

Beautiful condo

We loved staying in #1558 at Hanalei Bay Resort. The resort itself is sublime, especially now that the bar is open! The condo was very comfortable and incredibly well stocked with all the appliances and utensils you'll need during your stay, including bonus items such... more as cling wrap, coffee maker filters etc. It was a very large studio, the two of us could really spread out. And the mountain views were amazing. The only negative comments is that there is no landline to call the front desk nor was there any safe (that we could find!) Otherwise a wonderful condo, highly recommended! Thanks for having us :) less

Wonderful stay...at Hanalie Bay

We booked our room at the beautiful Hanalie Bay Resort through Kristen Greene along with Christine Hurd of Aloha Condos. We had nothing but great service and response to all our inquiries prior to and our arrival. We booked condo # 1558 in the Haliconia... more Building. It was a beautiful little one bedroom condo with a mountain view and overlooking a lush valley of trees and vegetation. We were a short walk to the pool and lobby. Our room had everything we needed, fully stocked with all cooking utensils, glasses, plates etc. A great stove, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher and a big fridge with an ice maker. The furniture was nice, the bed was a fold up murphy (wall bed) queen size and easy to lift up and away.. (very comfortable) making the room even bigger. There was also a washer and dryer in this unit. There were books and magazines and local guides. The unit was spotless and looked like it had a complete renovation makeover recently. The shower was amazing. The owner whose name is Jim, pretty well thought of everything for his guests. We even found beach chairs, a cooler and boogie boards in the back closet. We used Hanalie as our home base and travelled all over the island, lots of sights and many beaches. We totally enjoyed our time here and to top things off, on the day our flight was leaving for Canada, we realized that we weren’t flying out to11pm that night, but checkout time was 10 am Now the hotel allows you to pay a small fee and they will give you towels, use of the pool and a complimentary area room to change. Well when we enquired about this with Christine, they realized they didn’t have a guest coming in until the next day..they allowed us to stay until 3pm. Thumbs up to good people !!. We have been home a week and already we miss those wonderful breakfasts and late night glasses of wine on the lanais. Thanks guys for a great stay!!! Bill and Ruth Norris Elmira ON Canada less

The Perfect Place

I live on Kauai, and was trying to find an affordable spot for a staycation. This unit is so roomy even though it's a studio. It had everything we needed to enjoy a day grilling out with our friends as we celebrated my husband's birthday.... more They even had chairs and boogie boards! I will recommend this place to ANYONE staying on Kauai, thank you so much for making this location affordable and charming. less

New Years in Hanalei Bay

My Boyfriend has been to the Island many times, this was my first trip. I have to say we had a great time! The Condo is just what it said it was. Not a lot of time was spent here but it is a good... more home base. We hit costco for our food and the kitchen provided all the comforts of home. Would have been nice to visit the restaurant or bar ( both under construction- so no night fun) But with all the day trips I have to admit that was ok. I was not to happy with the non heated pool the cold dip is not for the faint of heart. But I would recommend this place to a friend in a heartbeat. Mahalo.......Sandi A less

Great condo!

We had a wonderful stay in 1558. It had everything we needed and was conveniently located. The resort was lovely and everyone was so helpful. The view from the lanai was amazing and we loved going out each morning to see the mountains and beautiful... more greenery. We will be back! less

— Jana, Stayed 11/11/2015

Air Conditioner

Everything was fine except the air conditioner did not work and it was very hot in the condo during the whole stay. Granted I keep my house at 67 but this was just way too hot for me.

— Pamela, Stayed 10/26/2015

Great Stay at Hanalei Bay Resort!

Great condo with a fantastic view of the mountain and waterfalls! This condo came stocked with pretty much everything we needed. It was great to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer on our trip. It was very nice to have air conditioning in... more the condo. The resort is very nice and quiet. This condo has an adjoining door to the unit next door - not a problem for the most part but we could hear our neighbors at times, but nothing too disruptive. The lock on the doorknob was INCREDIBLY hard to get to work. It took us usually 1-2 minutes each and every time to get the door unlocked. I would suggest at least replacing the lock or even upgrading the doorknob/lock to the kind where you just punch a code in. Also, we had a bit of a spider attack on our last night there. Tons of tiny little spiders invaded the condo at the front door area. I understand it’s the tropics, but maybe including some bug spray or possibly setting off a bug bomb would help :) We couldn't have been happier with the condo and the service from the rental company! less

— Meghan, Stayed 09/30/2015

Great Condo!

Overall this condo had EVERYTHING we needed. Only three suggestions. The first is to install another AC unit or a stronger one. The second is to fix the lock on the front door. The third is to fix the bed legs that trigger the murphy... more lock. Otherwise it is perfection! less

— Travis, Stayed 09/11/2015

Everything we expected. Great deal!

Great Studio in a great location, bed was extremely comfortable, the patio was perfect for breakfast and relaxing! It's nothing fancy or luxurious but it fit our needs for the price perfectly.

— JKGlobetrotter81, Stayed 04/26/2015

Perfection!

This little condo was perfect for our honeymoon stay. We stayed for 10 days in March and it was amazing! Loved waking up in the morning and making breakfast to eat on the patio with the most amazing waterfall views! The bed was comfy, the... more kitchen provided everything we needed and there were even beach chairs in the closet! Hope to be back again soon! Be sure to sit on the hill by the tennis courts at sunset AMAZING! less

— MysWhit, Stayed 04/13/2015

Great place

We loved our stay in this condo. Although we normally select an ocean view we thoroughly enjoyed the mountain view. It was great to have all the cooking facilities and washer & dryer. The resort is beautiful. Ideal location for exploring the Hanalei Bay Area.... more We wished we had more time there and would definitely return if we have the opportunity. less

— Sheryl844, Stayed 02/25/2015

Absolutely perfect for our small family.

The condo that we stayed in was just right fort small families needs. The view of the mountain from the Lanai every morning was incredible! We really enjoyed having breakfast with the birds every morning. Hanalei Bay, Kauai is the most beautiful place we have... more ever visited (and I've traveled all over the world). The resort is top notch as well. I highly recommend this area and condo for any couple and/or small family. Perfect! less

— WayanBig, Stayed 12/16/2014

A little bit of paradise. ( Yes, a cliche, but in this case very true.)

We arrived at night. Directions were excellent, and we found HBR easily. Walking into the open-air lobby, we knew we had made the right choice for our vacation. Desk person was pleasant and efficient. After receiving some directions and filling out registration forms, we were... more whisked away by golf cart to our condo, 1558. Here are our thoughts: 1. Condo - The condo, a studio with Murphy bed, a full kitchen, and a washer/drier was great. The large balcony looked out onto the mountains, an unbelievable view. At first I thought an ocean view would be preferable, but this view was the best. Another advantage of this unit is that it is in a very private area in the complex, yet less than a two minute walk to the pool. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the full kitchen and washer/drier made a big difference. The only issue with the unit was that the latches on the Murphy bed were a little temperamental. However, not a big deal. 2. Beach - One of the few north shore resorts with its own beach. It is a steep walk down and a seemingly steeper walk back up. However, there's a phone at the beach to summon a golf cart for the ride back. We never waited more than two or three minutes. The beach was beautiful. Shares the beach with the five star St Regis Resort. 3. HBR - Great resort. Best pool/spa west of the Yacht and Beach Club at Disney. Lots of chairs and shade. Really a fantastic place to spend an afternoon or evening. The complimentary Happy Hour on Wednesday was a nice surprise. Spa area was wonderful. Well done. The only shortcoming at HBR was the lack of a restaurant/bar/snack bar. Fire several years ago destroyed the restaurant and rebuilding has been slow. Lots of tennis on site and great golf minutes away. 4. Location - Ten minute drive to Hanalei Bay with beaches and restaurants. Very close to many other beaches. Good restaurants and shopping at Princeville Center, around a four minute ride. The north shore is the best place to stay on the island. Great boat tours of Napali Coast out of Hanalei Bay 5. Summary - Would go back in a heartbeat. A great place will be even better once renovations are completed less

Felt like our own private resort

We loved our stay in unit 1558 in Hanalei Bay Resort. It had so many extra little things that made it feel more like our own private cabin than a unit in a big resort. Pros: - Lots of extras - Beach chairs and a... more cooler were awesome to have. Explore all the drawers and cabinets...haha. - The patio was huge and the view was amazing. Only a power pole and glimpse of roadway give away the fact that you are not in a completely isolated jungle valley. - The free-form pool at the resort was absolutely incredible. We used almost every day. The waterfalls and sand bottom hot tub just made it so unique. It was rarely busy...even when they were giving away free Mai Tais & hotdogs (one time thing), we got a chairs. Best time to swim there is after dark though. - Called the owner of our unit to ask for a later check out, hoping have another hour so we didn't have to rush out in the morning. He said we could stay until 6pm! It was like having an extra day for free. Cons: - Need to finish those renovations and get that restaurant done. - Long 'hike' to and from the beach. We only went down once. The resort will shuttle you though. - The unit needs a little bit of work/cleaning. In particular, the water/ice dispenser in the fridge was visibly dirty (didn't use), the Murphy bed barely stayed closed (one latch damaged), A/C had trouble keeping up and shower could use an upgrade. This stuff didn't bother us though, but if you are an uptight traveler expecting 5 star accommodations for minimal $$$, you might have issues. One thing to be aware of is that if you stay on the North side of Kauai, you are going to be doing a fair bit of driving if you want to see the whole island in one trip, like we did. Takes about 1.5-2 hours to get to the south side, depending on traffic. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Hanalei Bay Resort and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay on the North side of Kauai. When the restaurant and renos are complete, it will be a top notch resort. less

— tydguy, Stayed 10/03/2014

great place to stay on Northshore

This studio condo was well equipped. Quiet! Very comfy bed. I love the HBR pool and jacuzzi. The grounds are beautiful. There is beach access although it is a public beach so no amenities. And a cart that takes you there. There is ongoing construction... more but I was there on a weekend and it did not affect me. I would definitely stay there again! And I am a resident of Kauai. less

— dancingjheart, Stayed 08/09/2014

Great Location near Hanalei Bay

We stayed for 10 days at the Hanalei Bay Resort. The location is the best for enjoying the north shore activities. You can walk to several beaches, including Hanalei Bay. You can also walk to Queens Bath and Hideaways. This is also a short drive... more to several other north shore sites. The Hanalei Bay resort pool is wonderful and there is a great spot for watching the sunsets. The construction did create a few inconveniences, but it wasn't too bad. At first I didn't like the fact that you cannot park by the room, but for unit 1558 it wasn't too far. The property charges a $12 per day "resort fee" (and this is soon to be increased). Supposedly it covers towels, internet, tennis courst (which we did not use), and some other items. This should be considered as part of the daily rate. The unit 1558 itself was nice. We really liked the location on the top floor. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was pretty well furnished. There were some pots and pans that were not usable because they were rusted and should be replaced. A few areas that need attention includes the floors and rugs - they didn't seem very clean. The AC unit did not seem to always reach the bathroom, so it would stay hot in there. The shower head looked very old and had hard water deposits on it. Overall we enjoyed the stay though. less

Perfection

This condo has a brilliant view of the mountains. My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon as the first leg of our Kauai vacation, and it was perfect. The location is near so many wonderful things to do on the north side of... more Kauai, and the grounds were beautiful without being garish. The condo is well-maintained, clean, and very comfortable. less

pleasant

We found everything we needed in the condo, everything worked. Ac, W/D, full size stove etc. were right on spot. The walk to the beach is quick even without a pickup by golf car from the office.

Aloha NUI LOa

This was my wife and my self's first stay at this resort and we had pleasant time. Condo 1558 was a nice cozy room for two with all the small amenities that you would hope for, the wireless internet and cable was working well and... more came in handy when relaxing in the room. The views into the rain forest, the soft comfortable couch, and climate control aC were all selling points for me. My wife thought the bed was a little firm for her liking and the water pressure in the shower was weak. We also ran into some large sized spiders in the room, but I'm pretty sure that's hard to avoid on all parts of the island. The resort provided a great pool/hot tub area that was a very short walk from the room and had some cool waterfall features and landscaping. We spent many hours in this area, but it was really lacking in the bar/drinks department, which was slightly disappointing. The resort also provided golf cart shuttle services down the hill to the beach, which made the hike a little easier. The resort staff were all really nice and helpful and I'm sure had to work a little out of their comfort zone because of the renovations that were going on at that time throughout the complex. We also wish there would have been a small general store of some kind close by, you really need to stock up on supplies before you show up, although you can find a store that is a 10 min. drive away. We didn't participate in the tennis, but we would see how that could be a selling point for someone else, they had lessons going on every day nearby our room. We also had a daily dose of rooster calls every morning, so we learned quickly to shut the slider door at night if you plan on sleeping in. Overall it was a good experience and most of the cons listed are all small nitpicky things, especially considering the low cost of this condo rental compared to others in the area. We would for sure recommend this to a friend and hope to come back in the future. less

Wonderful stay in Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 1558!

Taking a moment to follow up on our recent stay at Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 1558 - the unit exceeded our expectations and was better than advertised! From a fully stocked kitchen, a wealth of reading material on the island, and the friendly resort staff... more we didn't want to leave. The 'small town' feel of Hanalei Bay is something special, can't wait to return! Pros: Location Staff Unit - clean/stocked/nothing broken or missing Cons: None less

Absolutely fabulous!

Waking up everyday just before dawn breaks to the the sounds of nature, to cool & misty tradewinds, sometimes to trickles of liquid sunshine; having a hot cup of freshly brewed locally grown coffee; having al fresco breakfast of hapa rice, spam, limed papaya, juice... more of blended fruits, with our morning visitors of birds & chickens; having your own stretch of beach to laze versus fighting for your spot in any other beaches; finding every excuse to chase the rainbow at the 1-lane bridge at Hanalei; feasting on the freshest cut of fish bought from Blue Dolfin; being the canvas of Uncle Tim of Blue Hawaii Tattoo...what's not to love about being in Kauai? Oh, if only we can do this everyday! less

— Wilma, Stayed 05/16/2013

perfect price perfect location perfect vacation

Excellent condo. My wife and I have stayed in this building twice now. It is the perfect getaway. Beautiful, quiet and clean. The condo is not on the beach but has an amazing view of Hanalei mountain. We will be back for sure. The only... more issue with this condo is that the bed is not that comfortable. It is not that bad but could use a memory foam or mattress upgrade, otherwise perfect. less

A perfect spot in a lovely place...

Spent close to two weeks at Hanalei Bay Resort #1558... The unit is wonderfully situated, on the outside edge of the condo complex, overlooking some jungle bush and trees, close to the trail down to the beach - and very close to a couple of... more sets of tennis courts! - marvelously peaceful and quiet. The unit came with all mod cons, including a full set of kitchen tools and a complete range of spices! Savvy travelers will appreciate the shortcut to parking spaces just off the main lobby... a two minute walk to the condo... Probably the biggest surprise was the simplicity and clarity of the snorkeling at the beach... despite being "North Shore" and winter - walk in and you're there. less

Movie location setting with every imaginable ammenity

I've been to Kaua'i many times but never had the opportuniy to stay in Princeville. What a way to to make an entrance. Hanalei Bay Resort was exactly what the Dr. ordered. The meandering pathway to our condo might prove stressful to some, but there's... more no shortage of golf carts and friendly employees to bring you from the parking lot to your condo or to the fantastic beach that awaits beneath you. Condo 1558 is perched hi up the hill near the service entrance, arduous journey for some, but once there you will be immersed in stunning, lush foliage with spectacular mountain views. I still wake each morning and think about waking to that view. The lanai is simply a mini oasis. The condo itself has every convenience imaginable and it was a pleasure to do laundry & make our own meals and enjoy our blender sunset cocktails from our lanai. The murphy bed is a great space saving idea but it was my only mild complaint. I wasn't sure if I awoke earlier and earlier because of the thin pillows & firm bed or my own excited anticipation of watching another sunrise from the lanai. Regardless, I can not wait to return to condo 1558 in 2013. Attention tennis players..there's a superb tennis facility just a fer buildings from the condo with a great instructor and daily morning classes & afternoon mixers. less

Better than we were looking for!

This condo is lovely, clean, with plenty of amenities, a fully stocked kitchen and the best mountain view ever. We loved making breakfast and watching sunrise over the mountains. The foldup bed was a little stiff, which some people love, we were indifferent. If you... more are looking for an affordable room for 2 with all the perks of home, just book this now! less

Condo in Paradise

Just spent a week at Unit 1558 Hanalei Bay Resort, Kauai. It worked perfectly for my wife and I. Its compact kitchen is very well outfitted and allowed us to cook anything we wanted. There were some units that had been updated with granite counter... more tops, stainless steel, etc. but this one had the complete kitchen that meant a lot to us. It was very well maintained, clean and cared for. The Murphy bed worked out great. It is very comfortable and large (queen I think)and very easy to use. We liked having the extra space when the bed was not in use. We were quite impressed with the management. One day we got new next door neighbors. They had two children who were very noisy and woke us up at 5:30 am. We called Jim and he dealt with it decisively and quickly. There were only supposed to be two adults in the unit according to their contract. They were told to leave immediately and they did! It was back to paradise for us. The unit had just about everything stocked you would need for a vacation to Kauai. There were even beach chairs, binoculars, guide books and a gift basket upon arrival. But the best of all was the view and the seclusion. The lanai was an extremely pleasant place to have leisurely meals while enjoying the view and the many birds. The views were looking back toward the island. A beautiful jungle was in the foreground with spectacular mountains in the background. The booking process was easy and the staff were all very helpful. For Unit 1558 we had the option of a close parking space with a path that included the service area, a garbage collection area and construction site for the new restaurant. Or we could park in the central parking lot and have little longer walk but a more genteel path that included walking past the swimming pool and tennis courts. We tried both and ended up taking the short one most of the time. Overall, our expectations were greatly exceeded and I practically had to drag my wife out of the place! less

— Steve and Lesley, Stayed 01/27/2013

Felt right at home

We had a wonderful 4 days at the condo and liked the amenities of it and the service. Aloha Condos provided us with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the informative books and the beautiful views from the lanai. Too bad there was no resaurant... more or sundries shop due too the fire, but there is this delicious Thai restaurant in Hanalei that's well worth the drive. We hopefully can stay there again. less

Wonderful Breath taking scenary.

Stayed in Hanalei Bay Resort and will definitely recommend friends and family members. The condo has full facilities. The washing machine and fully equipped kitchen makes staying so easy and pleasant. We do not need to rush out to find food. The scenery is also... more spectacular. So peaceful and I think Princeville area is a great place to stay. Thank you. less

Condo is well organized and maintained. Washer/dryer in unit very helpful. Extras like beach chairs and cooler provided. No problems.

Wonderful location and the condo had all we needed!

The condo was very "homey", the location was perfect and the price was such a great deal- we loved everything about it!

very well-equipped condo

I loved everything about the condo - the view, the washer/dryer, the kitchen. Perhaps the mattress could have been a bit more comfortable, but that is most likely just the nature of a murphy bed. Overall, a very comfortable place to stay. Thank you!

great little condo

great value for this studio with a full kitchen. The hosts provide everything you need to enjoy the beach (chairs, cooler, etc) and all the cookware if you want to eat in. while it doesn't have an ocean view, the lanai has a very nice... more mountain view and we spent many hours enjoying our meals and reading outside. the only downside I can think of is that it has a murphy bed which isn't as comfortable as a real one. It was fine for me, but more sensitive folks might want to consider this. The resort is also great, they drive you down to the beach whenever you want and provide beach towels you can use for the pool and beach. It was a very relaxing vacation at a reasonable price. thanks aloha! less

A great time in a great place.

A lovely little studio with vaulted ceiling and full kitchen. Good view and we appreciated the feeling of privacy from being away from the other buildings. Amenities were plentiful, complete with two boogie boards! Thanks for the wonderful stay, I wish I was there right... more now! less

Great Unit - Exceeded Expectations

I was slightly skeptical about this unit when I booked it because the price was so reasonable and I wasn't sure about staying on a murphy bed. However, I was so pleased with what I found. The pictures accurately represented the unit, and actually the... more unit seemed a bit bigger than shown. The murphy bed was comfortable - I was really surprised. I slept well and it was easy to put up and down. The living space was well laid out, comfortable (I napped on the couch twice in 4 days), and felt homey. The view from the lanai was beautiful and allowed me to see the beauty of Kauai from the unit. The kitchen was well stocked. I ate in and packed lunches and the kitchen had all the pots, tupperware, and gear you could want and need. The bathroom was a girl's dream. Large vanity area with drawers for my stuff and a separate room with the toilet and shower. The quickest way to the unit from the parking area is by passing the complex dumpsters, which is not pretty but frankly, I didn't care. And, if you didn't want to see dumpsters, you can go the long way. I didn't find this to be any sort of problem. Finally, the owners / management company were very responsive as I asked questions prior to and after booking. If I return, I would stay here again and if I come with my family, I would look into booking 1558 and the companion unit, 1557. less

Fun!

We had a great time at the condo. It was clean and the furniture was comfortable. The view from the room was spectacular as well. The kitchen amenities were also great and allowed us to cook instead of having to to go out to dinner/breakfast... more every night. I would definitely recommend this condo to others. less
