If you are looking for a resort type environment with lush tropical landscaping, snack bar or drink bar by the pool, umbrellas or cabanas for shade, you will probably not like the Banyan Harbor. If you are looking for a clean, reasonably priced apartment to use as a home base while exploring the island you may want to check it... more

I had read some pretty bad reviews of this place before we arrived... but over the week we stayed here my husband and I kept remarking to each other what a great place this is for families with small kids. Located near stuff to see and do, it was a comfortable place for us. Though it is older and not... more

This condo is located across the street from Kalapaki beach. Several choices for food and shopping. Only 2 miles to the Lihu’e airport, 20 min to Popui and Kapa’a. Centrally’ located making it easy to spend less time driving and more time seeing this wonderful island or just relaxing at the pool. more

This resort is perfectly situated only 2 miles from the Lihue airport and is centrally located for day trips to both sides of the island (since you can't drive all around). I am a travel agent, so I tend to look at properties from a different perspective than most people. Because these rental suites are individually owned, the decor may... more

After trading a banked week from our amazing Poipu timeshare through RCI, we were less than thrilled at the townhouse feel of the resort, and surprised to find that it wasn't a resort at all, but rather an apartment/condo complex with a few units available for rent or timeshare. The unit below us had a family living in it, with... more

Aloha, We always welcome comments and I would always prefer to address guest concerns while they are visiting. Whenever we receive comments, good or bad, I will personally look into each comment and spend the time necessary to review and more importantly find a possible solution. Based on this comment we implemented new procedures and programs to supplement our regular...

Although the staff were the nicest we encountered on the island and the units seemed clean, beware of the mice and roaches. We found mouse droppings under our kitchen sink and resort staff set mouse traps up. The traps worked and we awoke one morning to find a mouse in one and a dead roach was beside it! The unit... more

As always we appreciate comments on improving our resort. As beautiful as Kauai is, all resorts are faced with pest challenges and a vast majority of resorts do as we do. Quarterly we have an outside pest control company spray a non invasive spray in all units. We also contract this company to provide a quarterly exterior pest control program...

My husband and I spent a week here in March. The Banyan Harbor may not be a 5-star resort, but it is definitely very clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is great. This was our first time in Kauai and we enjoyed staying at this centrally located resort. We could spend the day in Hanalei, come back to... more

Spent 9 days at the resort in early January 2009. Stayed in two different condos, one was timeshare (Unit I-109) and the other was a vacation rental (H-101). Both were comfortable, clean units with harbor view. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, plates and utensils. Had a problem with a coffeemaker that had a new unit at the condo within... more

I am here and surprised! After reading a recent review about Banyan Harbor, I had doubts about my choice to stay at Banyan Harbor Resort on Kauai. I talked with Lyle Otsuka, Outriggers resident manager of the Banyan Harbor time share operation about a negative review I read on this web site. Lyle explained that many of the Town Home... more

When we read the reviews on the Banyan Resort, we didn't know what to expect and I almost cancelled. However, I am one of those who says, "que sera, sera." So off we went to Kauai. The front desk did not have good reviews either, specially about Ginger. We found Ginger to be very accommodating and friendly, so with the... more
