Spacious and Well-Equipped

My stay at Hanalei Bay Resort was good, especially because of the spacious one-bedroom unit we had. The kitchen was fully functional and equipped, allowing us to enjoy homemade breakfasts and dinners. The large balcony offered a stunning view of the mountains. This setup was perfect for our family, providing ample space with a comfortable atmosphere.

Relaxing Pool Area

The pool area was fantastic, complete with a swim-up bar surrounded by lush greenery and waterfalls. After a day of sightseeing, returning to the relaxing environment of the pool made everything worthwhile. The lounge chairs offered a perfect spot to unwind and soak in the beauty of Kauai.

Enjoyable Tennis Courts

During my stay, I took advantage of the tennis courts available on the hotel. It was a great way to stay active while enjoying the beautiful setting. The courts were well-maintained and provided an excellent atmosphere for a friendly match. I highly recommend them!

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. Overall, we had a wonderful time, especially enjoying the amenities, but it would be perfect with a few adjustments.

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.
