I had a fantastic experience at this resort! The views from my room were absolutely stunning, and the spacious layout of the condo made it very comfortable for my family. The staff were incredibly accommodating and helped us with everything we needed. However, be cautious if you're less mobile, as some units are located down a steep slope without elevator access, which might be an issue for some guests.

The Hanalei Bay Resort offers stunning views and a lovely atmosphere, making it a great spot for relaxation, but the experience was slightly marred by some issues with the air conditioning and limited dining options. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the beach access is enjoyable but requires a bit of a trek.

I had a wonderful stay at Hanalei Bay Resort, which is nestled in a stunning location in Princeville. The views from the room were spectacular, especially towards Hanalei Bay and the surrounding mountains. However, I faced issues with the service, which was lackluster at times, especially regarding transportation and dining options. Overall, it was a beautiful place with potential, but the management experiences left something to be desired.
